The Phoenix
By Fall Out Boy
(Chords by Gregg K)
[Intro]
Em
Put on your war paint
[Verse]
Em
You are a brick tied to me that's dragging me down
Em
Strike a match and I'll burn you to the ground
Em
We are the jack-o-lanterns in July
Setting fire to the sky
Em
Here, here comes this rising tide
So come on
Em
Put on your war paint
Em
Cross walks and crossed hearts and hope-to-dies
Silver clouds with grey linings
Em G D
So we can take the world back from the heart-attacked
Em G D
One maniac at a time we will take it back
Em G D
You know time crawls on when you're waiting for the song to
Em G D D
Start so dance along to the beat of your heart
[Chorus]
Em
Hey young blood
C
Doesn't it feel
Db/C C
Like our time is running out
D Em C
I'm gonna change you like a remix
Db/C C
Then I'll raise you like a phoenix
D Em C
You're wearing our vintage misery
Db/C C
No, I think it looked a little better on me
D Em C
I'm gonna change you like a remix
Db/C C (once)
Then I'll raise you like a phoenix
[Verse]
Em
Bring home the boys and scrap scrap metal the tanks
Em
Get hitched and make a career out of robbing banks
Em
Because the world is just a teller and
We are wearing black masks
Em
"You broke our spirit," says the note we pass
Em G D
So we can take the world back from the heart-attacked
Em G D
One maniac at a time we will take it back
Em G D
You know time crawls on when you're waiting for the song to
Em G D D
Start so dance along to the beat of your heart
[Chorus]
Em
Hey young blood
C
Doesn't it feel
Db/C C
Like our time is running out
D Em C
I'm gonna change you like a remix
Db/C C
Then I'll raise you like a phoenix
D Em C
You're wearing our vintage misery
Db/C C
No, I think it looked a little better on me
D Em C
I'm gonna change you like a remix
Db/C C (once)
Then I'll raise you like a phoenix
Em
Put on your war paint
Em
[Bridge]
Em
The war is won
D
Before it's begun
Db/C
Release the doves
C
Surrender love
[x3]
Em
The war is won
D
Before it's begun
Db/C
Release the doves
C D D
Surrender love
[Chorus]
Heeeeeeeey
Em
Young blood
C
Doesn't it feel
Db/C C
Like our time is running out
D Em C
I'm gonna change you like a remix
Db/C C
Then I'll raise you like a phoenix
D Em C
You're wearing our vintage misery
Db/C C
No, I think it looked a little better on me
D Em C
I'm gonna change you like a remix
Db/C C D
Then I'll raise you like a phoenix
[Outro]
Em
Hey young blood
C
Doesn't it feel
Db/C C
Like our time is running out
D Em C
I'm gonna change you like a remix
Db/C C (Once)
Then I'll raise you like a phoenix
Em
Put on your war paint
Em Em
