Tabbed By: Carmen Filletti
D#m7 C#
Washington’s on the one
A#m
I’m in the middle of speaking
G#
And you’re under the gun
D#m7 C#
Seething, leave it to the lone nut
D#m7 C#
It’s unappealing in someone so young
D#m7 C#
Plaintiff, you’re feeling so washed up
A#m G#
And you mean it when you say you’re done
D#m7
Five lanes of freeway
C#
But it’s all gone dark
D#m7 C#
You called to say you’re gonna run
C# F#
Well, Can you wait?
C# F#
Can you stand it?
C# F#
Are you brave or are you
C# F#
scared straight,
C# F#
scared straight?
She didn’t want you to:
D#m7 C#
Speak right,
A#m G#
be strong,
D#m7 C#
act nice,
D#m7 C#
take so long
She didn’t want you to:
D#m7 C#
Call time,
A#m G#
seem tired,
D#m7 C#
leave mad,
D#m7 C#
get so wired
C# F#
Well, Can you wait?
C# F#
Can you stand it?
C# F#
Are you brave or are you
C# F#
scared straight,
C# F#
scared straight?
C#
Maybe you belong to someone
F#
Maybe you have finally met them
C#
Maybe smoke belongs in the sky
F#
Maybe I hate it when you cry
C# F#
Well, Can you wait?
C# F#
Can you stand it?
C# F#
Are you brave or are you
C# F#
scared straight,
C# F#
scared straight?
D#m7 C#
You were hurt so you got hard
A#m G#
You were cursed and scolded and scarred
D#m7 C#
You were searched for, then ignored
D#m7
You want to burn the liars
C#
You’ll set us both on fire
D#m7 C#
You’re faking, so I’m pretend sleeping
A#m G#
Waiting for this to be fun
D#m7 C#
It’s true little miss mean mini-bar guard
D#m7 C#
We’re gonna have to try something new
D#m7 C#
Let me breathe
D#m7 C#
Let me breathe
D#m7 C#
Let me breathe
D#m7 C# A#m G#
Let me breathe fire down on you
D#m7 C#
Let me breathe fire down on you
