Intro
G
Verse 1
G
hopeless, he says that everything is hopeless
Em
and now we're old enough to notice it
C
says were bound for sure destruction
G
but our eyes have been closed to it
Verse 2
G
out of sight, left a letter and left town tonight
Em
said its better to lay down than fight
C
and as he went she starts carrying off every weapon in sight
Em C
and she tells him, I'm like a lit stick of dynamite
D
and I could blow you right down
Pre-Chorus
C G
and I've lost a lot trying to better your clock
Em D C
but whatever you've lost I've found
Chorus
Em D G
so don't stop me now
C Em D
I'm already past the point of trying to figure it out
G D C
and if what's coming out of your mouth
D
is just a taste of all the trouble broken figures you've found
G C
then you can't say what you've got on your mind
G C
oh, wash your hands of everything and write off the time
G D
she said they should call you Mr. Kind
Em D C
because you love ‘em before you leave ‘em behind
Post-Chorus
G C D G
when the bars close down, I know tomorrow you'll be harder to find
Verse 3
G Em
and I'm aching now, I mean I'm waking up and breaking out
C
I'm throwing off the chains that weigh me down
Em D
and erase the thought of fate on the frown
G Em
and I'm losing it by any definition new to me
C D C
I used to fumble and you move your lips to stone when you pull me down
G Em D C
this love is getting off the rough and were both getting knocked around
Chorus
Em D G
so don't stop me now
C Em D
I'm already past the point of trying to figure it out
G D C
and if what's coming out of your mouth
D
is just a taste of all the trouble broken figures you've found
G C
then you can't say what you've got on your mind
G C
oh, wash your hands of everything and write off the time
G D
she said they should call you Mr. Kind
Em D C
because you love ‘em before you leave ‘em behind
Bridge

Outro
G
and it takes a lot to get her out the love seat
D
and she's lost but she says she's had enough of me
Am
I'm blowing off ambitions that she tried to keep
C
she's having thoughts of spending time in other scenes
G
and like a boss she's rolling up her rubber sleeves
D
wash it off about as quickly as your lover bleeds
Am
knees crossed to have to live to watch another leave
C
reason tossed about through 50 thousand other means
G
so with all broken figures that you tried to be
D
All statisticians that showed you what you had to see
Am
All the songs that said we live in perfect harmony
C
if you just loved enough of me, just loved enough
G
Yeah and all the broken figures that you tried to be
(You said you thought I'd wait for rains to come)
D
All the statisticians showed you what you had to see
(No, you're impressed I was coming on strong)
Am
All the songs that said we'd live in perfect harmony
(I tried to tell you I had said it all wrong)
C
If you just loved enough of me, just enough
(but I guess you don't know)
G
And it takes a lot to get her out the love seat
(When you're set on breaking down)
D
And she's lost but she says she's had enough of me
(Yeah, you've shown that you're ready for it now)
Am
I'm blowing off ambitions that she tried to keep
(Hell, you always have to let it all out)
C
She's having thoughts of spending time in other scenes
(So let it out, just let it out!)
