( Bm / Em / Bb / Gm / Dm / Gm )
Was that somebody screaming 

It wasn't me for sure

I lift my head up from uneasy pillows

Put my feet on the floor

Cut my wrist on a bad thought 

And head for the door
( Bm / Em / Bb / Gm / Dm / Gm / Bm )
Outside on the pavement

The dark makes no noise

I can feel the sweat on my lips

Leaking into my mouth

I'm heading out for the steep hills

They're leaving me no choice
    Em G D       Am               C G   D Am
And see...as our lives are in the making
    Em G D       Am               C G   D Am
We believe through the lies and the hating
     Am         Em
That love goes free
( Bm / Em / Bb / Gm )
For want of an option

I run the wind round

I dream pictures of houses burning

Never knowing nothing else to do
F                    C
With death comes the morning
Gm
Unannounced and new
( Bm / Em / Bb / Gm / Dm / Gm / Bm )
Was it too much to ask for

To pull a little weight

They forgive everything but greatness

These are scoundrel days

And I'm close to calling out their names

As pride hits my face
Em G D       Am               C G   D Am
See...as our lives are in the making
     Em G D       Am               C G   D
We believe through their lies and the hating
     Am        Gm F C Eb        Gm F C Eb
That love goes free  through scoundrel days
Gm F C Eb Gm F C Eb

( Bm / Em / Bb / Gm / Dm / Gm / Bm )
I reach the edge of town

I've got blood in my hair

Their hands touch my body

From everywhere

But I know as I've made it

As I run into the air
Em G D       Am               C G   D Am
And see...as our lives are in the making
     Em G D       Am               C G   D Am
We believe through the lies and the hating
     Am        Em  G D Am C G D
That love goes free
        Am        Gm
Through scoundrel days
