[Verse 1]
E
I'm always far below
E
The underdog that shows
E
Hold me together this time
C#m
And when I'm broken through
C#m
Retreating far from you
C#m
Try to remember it's fine
E
On all the lightest days
E
I slip beneath the haze
E
Of tighter bodies than mine
C#m
And while my eyes are true
C#m
They're always far from new
C#m E C#m E
Don't blame yourself, we'll blame the time
[Chorus]
C#m E
It's always up, up, up
F#m G#m
It's always mine
C#m C+ E/B E(b5)/A# A B E
Argue for whatever this time
C#m E
And so we wash our skin
F#m G#m
So clean but not within
C#m C+ E/B E(b5)/A# A B E
Plaster on your smile this time
[Verse 2]
E
My fate is up to those
E
Dictating beauty flows
E
I'll hide away until the night
C#m
And in the darkness pure
C#m
Our senses won't be sure
C#m
Relying only on the trite
E
Just sick of all the pain
E
And Puritan-like shame
E
That follows me into the light
C#m
This doesn't need to be
C#m
We could just all break free
C#m E C#m E
Salvation lies beyond the fight
[Chorus]
C#m E
It's always up, up, up
F#m G#m
It's always mine
C#m C+ E/B E(b5)/A# A B E
Argue for whatever this time
C#m E
And so we wash our skin
F#m G#m
So clean but not within
C#m C+ E/B E(b5)/A# A B E
Plaster on your smile this time
[B-section]
E
We're diving into all you say you know
E
Tied together still alone, darling
E
Frustrated and I know it's getting old
E
Jealous of the young and gold toys
E
Please tell me you agree with what you see
E
Lies are sweetest when we're not free
E
I'll say that I'm never affected when
E
Guilt is shaking up my head
E C#m E
Let me go
[Chorus]
C#m E
It's always up, up, up
F#m G#m
It's always mine
C#m C+ E/B E(b5)/A# A B E
Argue for whatever this time
C#m E
And so we wash our skin
F#m G#m
So clean but not within
C#m C+ E/B E(b5)/A# A B E
Plaster on your smile this time
C#m E
It's always up, up, up
F#m G#m
It's always mine
C#m C+ E/B E(b5)/A# A B E
Argue for whatever this time
C#m E
And so we wash our skin
F#m G#m
So clean but not within
C#m C+ E/B E(b5)/A# A B E
Plaster on your smile this time
