[Tucker:]
F#m B
Today I am stitched, I am sewn
F#m B
Patch me up, I've got want in my bones
F#m B
Like some doll you thought you could throw away
F#m F#m B
I found my legs
[Brownstein:]
F#m B F# B
Ready to climb out from under concrete
F#m B F#m B
Only I get to be sickened by me
F#m
My body a smudge
B F# B
Can't make out the details
F#m B C#m F#m
Want to start over and come into being
[Chorus - Tucker & Brownstein:]
F#m B F#m B
Exhume our idols and bury our friends
F#m B F#m B
We're wild and weary but we won't give in
F#m B
We're sick with worry
F#m B
These nerve-less days
F#m B F#m B
We live on dread in our own guilded age
[Tucker:]
F#m B
This dark world is precious to me
F#m B
My scars make me breathe in so deep
F#m B
My body has no need for sleep
F# F#m B
This time around
[Brownstein:]
F#m B F#m B
Ready to find fragments of stillness
F#m B F#m B
Only I get to be punished by me
F#m B
Your voice is a crumb,
F#m B
It leads me from the wildness
F#m B F#m
Wanna start over, forget everything
[Chorus - Tucker & Brownstein:]
F#m B F#m B
Exhume our idols and bury our friends
F#m B F#m B
We're wild and weary but we won't give in
F#m B
We're sick with worry
F#m B
These nerve-less days
F#m B F#m B
We live on dread in our own guilded age
[Brownstein:]
F#m
Make me a headline
G#m C#m F#m
I wanna be that bold
B F#m
Make me a spotlight
G#m C#m F#m B
So I can see that gold
F#m
Make me a headline
G#m C#m F#m
I wanna be that bold
B F#m
Make me a spotlight
B C#m F#m B
So I can see the gold
[Chorus - Tucker & Brownstein:]
F#m B F#m B
Exhume our idols and bury our friends
F#m B F#m B
We're wild and weary but we won't give in
F#m B
We're sick with worry
F#m B
These nerve-less days
F#m Bm F#m B
We live on dread in our own guilded age
F#m B
We speak in circles
F#m B
We dance in code
F#m B
Untame and hungry
F#m B
On fire in the cold
F#m B
Exhume our idols
F#m B
Bury our friends
F#m B F#m
We're wild and weary but we won't give in
