[Verse]
G D/F#
Hey, don't I know you from some other life
Em D
You were wide-eyed and green and a little bit taller
C Bm A D/F#
And you didn't look away when spoken to
G
Do you still take two sugars
D/F#
You seem a little tense
Em D
And I can't help but notice how hard you appear
C Bm A D/F#
When I look into your eyes a violent blue
D Em
Was it sudden, was it clean
C
Were there a lot of shades in between?
[Chorus]
C G C G
Step away
C G C G
Let off
C G C G
Throw it down
C G C G
And lose yourself.
[Verse]
G D/F#
Hey, are you with me or don't you recall
Em D
When the perfume of belief was all we needed
C Bm A D/F#
It's was all we needed to set our sights
G D/F#
So when did you throw out the rest of the world
Em D
Deaf from the din of your self-righteous babble
C Bm
I think you've been blinded
A D/F#
by your own light
D Em
Was it hatred? Was it pride?
C
Or did you just have a lot to hide?
[Chorus]
C G C G
Come away
C G C G
Throw down
C G C G
Let it burn
C G C G
And lose yourself.
[Instrumental]
Am Em
Am Em
[Bridge]
Am Em
Passion to ashes to smoldering ruin
Am
Bathed in your violence
D
Are you in there
B
Are you in there
[Instrumental]

[Verse]
G D/F#
Am I boring you? I could say more
Em D
We were headed for somewhere but that was before
C Bm A D/F#
You traded in your peace sign for a finger.
G D/F#
And I don't believe it was the way you were raised
Em D
Or the cards you were dealt or a poor self image.
C Bm A D/F#
I think you love yourself too much.
D Em
You wanna rule some sovereign state.
C
You wanna smother with all that hate.
[Chorus]
C G C G
Get away
C G C G
Lay down
C G C G
Strip it off
C G C G
And lose yourself.
