[Verse 1]
(Muted power chords sound better here)
C#m A
Ain't that the way it always starts.
E F#m C#m A
A simple round of conversation.
E F#m C#m A
Became a shameful equation.
E F#m C#m A
I flipped you station to station.
(Stop Muting)
C#m A E F#m C#m A
Hey. Don't go and turn the other way.
E F#m C#m A
Don't say there's nothing more to say.
E F#m
Come on, hear me out.
C#m A
Hush, hush, settle down.
E F#m
Button up, don't make a sound.
C#m A
Shame, shame, go away.
E F#m
Come again some other day.
[Pre-Chorus]
(Bar and open chords sound better here)
C#m A
You used to say I couldn't save you enough,
E B C
so I've been saving it up, I started saving it up.
C#m A
And when you said I couldn't give you enough,
E B C
I started giving you up, I started giving you up.
[Chorus]
C#m F#m A B C
You are not me, Arlandria, Arlandria, Arlandria
C#m F#m A
You and what army, Arlandria, Arlandria
B C C#m
Oh, God you gotta make it stop.
[Verse 2]
(Back to muted power chords)
C#m A E F#m C#m A
Chase all of those memories away,
E F#m C#m A
save them all for another day.
E F#m C#m A E C#m
Don't you remember it was rain that drowned you.
(Stop Muting)
C#m A
Wait!
E F#m C#m A
I wanna see if you can shake.
E F#m C#m A
I want to keep all I can take,
E F#m
I feel much better now.
C#m A
Use me up, spit me out,
E F#m
let me be your hand-me-down.
C#m A E F#m
Fame, fame, go away, come again some other day.
[Pre-Chorus]
(Bar and open chords sound better here)
C#m A
You used to say I couldn't save you enough,
E B C
so I've been saving it up, I started saving it up.
C#m A
And when you said I couldn't give you enough,
E B C
I started giving you up, I started giving you up.
[Chorus]
C#m F#m A B C
You are not me, Arlandria, Arlandria, Arlandria
C#m F#m A
You and what army, Arlandria, Arlandria
B C C#m
Oh, God you gotta make it stop.
[Hook]
C#m A E B C#m
My sweet Virginia, I'm the same as I was in your arm.
C#m A E B C C#m
My sweet Virginia, I'm the same as I was in your heart.
[Verse 3]
(Muted power chords gradually getting louder till the chorus)
C#m A
Shame, shame go away,
E F#m
come again some other day.
C#m A
Memories keep haunting me.
E F#m
Help me chase them all away.
C#m A
Hush, now settle down,
E F#m
button up, don't make a sound.
C#m A
Close your eyes, turn around.
E F#m
Help me burn this to the ground.
C#m A E F#m
Come now, take the blame, that's okay, I'll play the game.
C#m A E F#m
I don't care, it's all the same, watch it all go up in flames.
C#m A
Use me up, spit me out,
E F#m
let me be your hand-me-down.
C#m A E F#m
Fame, fame, go away, come again some other day.
[Pre-Chorus]

You and what army, Arlandria, Arlandria
