Pierce the Veil - King For A Day

Bm
dare me to jump off of this jersey bridge?
Am#
bet you never had a friday night like this

keep it up , keep it up , let’s raise our hands

i take a look up to the sky and i see
Bm
red for the cancer , red for the wealthy ,
Am#
red for the drink that’s mixed with suicide

everything red .

Bm
please won’t you push me for the last time ,
A
let’s scream until there’s nothing left ,
Bm
so sick of playing , i don’t want this anymore .
G
the thought of you is no fxxking fun ,
Em
you want a martyr , i’ll be one
A Bm
because enough’s enough , we’re done .

G
you told me think about it , well , i did
Em
now i don’t wanna feel a thing anymore
F#
i’m tired of begging for the things that i want ,
Bm
i’m over sleeping like a dog on the floor .

Bm
the thing i think i love will surely bring me pain
Am#
intoxication , paranoia , and a lot of fame
Bm
three cheers for throwing up , pubescent drama queen
A Bm
you make me sick , i make it worse by drinking late .

( scream , scream )
A
until there’s nothing left ,
Bm
so sick of playing , i don’t want to anymore .
G
the thought of you is no fxxking fun ,
Em
you want a martyr , i’ll be one
A Bm
because enough’s enough , we’re done .

G
you told me think about it , well , i did
Em
now i don’t wanna feel a thing anymore
F#
i’m tired of begging for the things that i want ,
Bm
i’m over sleeping like a dog on the floor .

G
imagine living like a king someday ,
Em
a single night without a ghost in the walls
F#
and when the bass shakes the earth underground ,
Bm
we’ll start a new revolution , now

( alright , here we go )
Bm
hail mary , forgive me ,
Am#
blood for blood , hearts beating
Bm Am#
come at me , now this is war

( fxxk with this new beat )

Bm Am# Bm Am# – – – – at this part just strum as you please before
oh the bridge comes in , but make sure each chord
gets only four beats before going back in

Bm
now , terror begins inside a bloodless vein

i was just a product of the street youth rage
Am#
born in this world without a voice or a say

caught in the spokes with an abandoned brain
Bm
i know you well but this ain’t a game

blow the smoke in a diamond shape
Am# F# Bm
dying is a gift so close your eyes and rest in peace

Bm ( five strums , then mute ) G ( five strums , then mute )
you told me think about it , well i did
Em ( five strums , then mute )
now i don’t wanna feel a thing anymore
F# ( five strums then mute )
i’m , tired of begging for the things that i want
Bm ( back to regular strumming pattern )
i’m oversleeping like a dog on the floor

Bm G
imagine living like a king someday
Em
a single night without a ghost in the walls
F#
we are the shadows screaming take us now
Bm
we’d rather die than live to rust on the ground

( shit )
