Intro is the same as the chorus.
G
The record keeps skipping through dirty windscreens
AmC
And it's one never ending cliche highway scene
GF/GEm
and the visit's too short and the journeys too long
CD
It feels like we're trapped in some damn burnouts song
C
But no tool belts or steel caps just drums and guitars
D
And we don't work in mines we just sing songs in bars
Chorus:
CD
It's a broken down dream but we call it a life
GF/GEm
Like a circus performer who swallows the knife
C
Just to spit out the handle and choke on the blood
D
It's a broken a broken down dream but we pray it's enough
G
I'd give the devil my soul for a good show tonight
AmC
Just a glimpse just a sign I'm not wasting my life
GF/GEm
Give me hellfire eternal when I'm done with this earth
CD
And Satan one more thing please let them buy merch
C
Cause the van is sure thirsty we've got a long way to drive
D
And we better get going or we won't make it on time
Chorus:
CD
It's a broken down dream but we call it a life
GF/GEm
Like a circus performer who swallows the knife
C
Just to spit out the handle and choke on the blood
D
It's a broken a broken down dream but we pray it's enough
C D x4
Am
And the stranded bored and stagnant they point to their chains
C
And in hushed tortured voices ask how dare we complain
Am
They think the damnationon it comes standing still
C
But we know all too well it's this distance that kills
Am
All the flowers and crosses that haunt these roadsides
CD
And we swear sometimes it's like swallowing knives
Chorus:
CD
It's a broken down dream but we call it a life
GF/GEm
Like a circus performer who swallows the knife
C
Just to spit out the handle and choke on the blood
D
It's a broken a broken down dream but we pray it's enough
