[Intro]
A/E A/E

[Verse 1]
A/E Bm
She’s reaching for her backpack
F#m D
Puts out a cigarette and gets on the bus
A Bm
She’s sittin’ on a secret
F#m D
She didn’t ask for, no girl ever did
A Bm
But there’s a whisper in her heartbeat
F#m D
She can hear it just enough to keep her alive
A Bm
When she’s breathing in the blowback
F#m D E E
There’s nothing you can offer she ain’t already tried

[Chorus]
A D E
But she’s breathing in the blowback
A D E
Born into poor white trash and always typecast
F#m D
But she’s gonna break out, boy, you’d better know that
E
It’s just a matter of time

She fights back
D
(Breathing in again)
E
Breathing in the blowback

[Verse 2]
A Bm
She’s sucking on a Tic-Tac
F#m D
A good man is a mystery, she’s looking for clues
A E/B
Woah, you’d better check that, buddy
A/C# D
‘Cause the blacktop’s burning up what’s left of the fuse
A Bm
And she knows where she comes from
F#m D
Doesn’t need you dragging her all through it again
A Bm
It’s like breathing in the blowback
F#m E
It’s a hijack, now how much are you willing to spend?

E Esus4 E Esus4

[Chorus]
A D E
But she’s breathing in the blowback
A D E
Born into poor white trash and always typecast
F#m D
But she’s gonna break out, boy, you’d better know that
E
It’s just a matter of time

She fights back
D
(Breathing in again)
E
Breathing in the blowback

[Bridge]
F#m A D Bsus7 B7
(Breathing in the blowback)
F#m A D Bsus7 B7
Pinwheels spinning, roller skates and red flags
F#m A D Bsus7 B7
(Breathing in the blowback)
F#m A D Bsus7 B7
She’s gonna break out, boy, you’d better know that

[Outro]
D E
Can you cast out a demon?
F#m A Asus2
Can you wrangle the wind?
D E
Will you stay when she’s breathing the blowback again?

A Bm F#m D
