[Verse 1]
Em
Maybe I could swin into your thoughts like your drugs do.
Em
Paralyze your body, sick and tired of waking up to
C
burning eyes and cigarettes. I'm falling through the couch like a
C
suicide mission tonight. My God here comes the downside.
Em
Wild eyes of terror pray for sex on the beach while
C G
oceans of kerosene will soak into me. I'm
G C Em
not meant for this world, I just don't see the point.
G C
Don't think about it. Don't over think about it.
Em C G C
And life is a joke, but everything's riding on me tonight.
D
Been counting the stars and scars.
C D
How I'm becoming a work of art.
[Chorus]
G D C D
Desperate times and desperate measures.
G C D C
I come so close, my hopes are severed by the downside.
Em G C Em C G D
A million waves in the ocean crash at once to make you smile.
[Verse 2]
Em G C
The whispered words, "You better hide the bullets". You stayed on the phone and talked to me.
Am G
Day and night. Trigger my nightmare once again.
Em G C G
It's fucking loaded in hand. And we'll let the fire rage.
Em G Am
The smoke and the drowning flames.
G G
My bedroom computer light is the only menace to my new faux wooden blinds.
[Chorus]
G D C D
Desperate times and desperate measures.
G C D C
I come so close, my hopes are severed by the downside.
Em G C Em C G D
A million waves in the ocean crash at once to make you smile.
[Bridge]
Em G D
Now I only pray when it all goes down,
C G Am D Em
I'll be surrounded by all of the ones I loved and cared about, and then burn it down.
[Breakdown]
Em G Am (x8)
[Verse 3]
Em G C D
And life is a joke, at least I can love you naked and tatooed.
D
Counting the stars and scars.
C Am
And if the pain is a sound, let's slow it down.
[Chorus]
G D C D
Desperate times and desperate measures.
G C D C
I come so close, my hopes are severed by the downside.
Em G C Em C G D
A million waves in the ocean crash at once to make you smile.
[Bridge]
Em G D
Now I only pray when it all goes down,
C G Am D Em
I'll be surrounded by all of the ones I loved and cared about, and then burn it down.
[Outro]
(two single strums)
Em D G Am D (x2)
Em D
Your serotonin's gone.
G Am D
The kerosene is gone.
Em D
The sunset is gone.
G Am D
So, hold on.
