CAPO ON FIRST FRET!
Intro:
Am , E
VERSE 1:
AmE
You're my favorite explosion.
AmE
A violin with no hands plays symphonies with no words.
AmE
A drowning boy with no voice prays someone up there's telling me,
AmFC
You'd better not get back up!
EAmFE
I spit my heart into this red cup.
AmFE
I'd better pick it back up, it might ruin your night.
And she said,
AmFG
"Baby, leave the water by the bed for later,
AmFG
and I woke up without a single drop.
CHORUS:
AmFG
I told myself I'm tired of holding up your backup plans.
AmFCG
Go down your list and be satisfied if all you have is not enough.
VERSE 2:
(True love comes from more than just the heart)
AmE
She said paint a picture on me,
AmE
throw your dress up and your heart away.
Am
Yeah, I heard what you said.
EAmE
A friend of a friend, these strangers at the party never paid.
AmC
And if that doesn't turn you on.
EAmFE
I'll keep talking till something does.
AmFE7
As we're covered in sand, you roll over and smile.
CHORUS:
AmFG
I told myself I'm tired of holding up your backup plans.
AmFG
Go down your list and be satisfied it?s all you have
Bridge:
E
and until that day,
I'll steal you flowers from the cemetery, red roses.
(during this next part listen to the guitars to figure out how to play it)
F F C C F F Am Am E.
Red rose of the dead.
How does it feel to breathe oxygen inside my head?
AmE
So say it, say I'm in love, cause you called me
AmEAm
crying from your job, said you just got fired.
FCG
And you don't have a backup plan,
AmFCG
so don't expect me to understand.
(A diamond bullet and a gun made of gold, she was covered in blood last seen in San Francisco)
AmE
Yeah!
We all breakdown.
AmFE
Sometimes the bedroom walls become my only friends,
Am E C (or E7)
but they were there from beginning to end.
AmFG
I told myself I'm tired of holding up your backup plans.
AmFG
Go down your list and be satisfied it?s all you have
AmFC
You know I've never held a gun in my life,
GAmC
but now I carry one around in case I see you tonight.
G
Bedroom walls.
AmF
Oh, these bedroom walls.
CG
Oh, I hate what it tastes like.

Am, E
