Dm
if you’re keeping score then you’re bound to win ,
A# A#sus2
a birds eye view of a burning bridge ,
Dm
you’ve gone through ghost towns set on pause ,
A# A#sus2
hoping the risk was worth a cause ,

Dm
oh , sound off the false alarm ,
A# A
oh , oh

Dm Em A# Gm
but i’ll make my own colleague from wood and from ivory ,
F C Dm
and reap the rewards of proximity ,
Dm Em A# Gm
i’ll assemble my equal from what i lack and require ,
F C Dm
and gather what’s left unaccompanied ,

Gm Dm
it smells like disaster ,
F Dm
it looks like a trap ,
Gm Dm
so go by the wayside ,
D# A
and never look back ,

Dm
if you could spare me forty winks ,
A# A#sus2
while you cry wolf and i count sheep ,
Dm
what good old ghosts in kevlar vests ,
A# A#sus2
with backbones like a jellyfish ,

Dm
oh , stomp on your land again ,
A# A
oh , oh

Dm Em A# Gm
but i’ll make my own colleague from wood and from ivory ,
F C Dm
and reap the rewards of proximity ,
Dm Em A# Gm
i’ll assemble my equal from what i lack and require ,
F C Dm
and gather what’s left unaccompanied ,

Gm Dm
it smells like disaster ,
F Dm
it looks like a trap ,
Gm Dm
so go by the wayside ,
D# A
and never look back ,

Dm
if you’re keeping score then you’re bound to win ,
A# A#sus2
a ring side seat at the main event ,

Dm
oh , stomp on your land again ,
A# A
oh , oh

Gm Dm
it smells like disaster ,
F Dm
it looks like a trap ,
Gm Dm
so go by the wayside ,
F Dm
and never look back .

Gm Dm
it smells like disaster ,
F Dm
thank god i can smell ,
Gm Dm
so go by the wayside ,
D# A Dm
and never look back .
