*=strum once
D*
I've been going through the records we're not getting any better
A*
Maybe I'm just getting bitter I don't really care whatever
Bm* G*
I'm so tired of open warfare when the point of this was to be best of friends
D*
We've been going round in circles like a plane without an engine
A*
As we spiral down the slipstream of our quickly sinking friendship
Bm* G*
It's a trainwreck of an ending It's the same as if we'd never even met
D
And now I'm going through the motions like a drunken ballerina
A
who is too tired to dance but keeps on getting up to see if
Bm G
anybody stuck around to see a show that has been over now for days
Em G
And I know that they're gone but I keep checking anyway
D
We've been standing here for hours on the edges of a canyon
A
I've got my side you've got yours and we're both about to fall in
Bm G
The pole we hold between us is the only thing that's keeping us aloft
D
And we're standing in the hallway both resolved to finally do this
A
We each have our guns drawn but neither of us wants to shoot first
Bm G
We could stay like this forever We could stay like this and never leave
D
But there are standards I expect our breaking up to measure up to
A
When you fall in love as hard and recklessly as you and I do
Bm G
It seems that the final act should have the same intensity as the first scene
Em G D
If I don't lose a couple teeth then it just won't feel real to me
Bm G D A
So we fall onto the floor not really sure if this
Bm G D A
Is breaking bones or making out maybe a bit of both
Em G
But I won't look away first And you won't look away first
D*
It's a simple proposition said the rabbit to the badger
A*
I am sure if we're committed we could dig our way to China
Bm* G*
Wouldn't it be great to see The Wall and all those people standing on their heads
D* D*
So they each picked up a shovel throwing dirt over their shoulders
A* A*
And with every shovelful their little hole got a bit deeper
Bm* Bm* G
Till they had to climb down in it just to reach the bottom layer
D
They went on like this all night scooping up and tossing out dirt
A
In the morning they realized they weren't getting any further
Bm G
The hole had grown so deep that the dirt they threw kept falling back on them
D
Said the badger to rabbit I am sure if we continue
A
We will pull through this on top Perseverance is a virtue
Bm G
So they scooped it and they tossed while the dirt piled up around their legs
Em G D
And in a matter of hours they buried themselves in it
Bm G D A
So we fall onto the floor not really sure if this
Bm G D A
Is breaking bones or making out maybe a bit of both
Em G
But I won't look away first And you won't look away first
D*
I've been going through the records we're not getting any better
A*
Maybe I've just gotten bitter I don't really care whatever
Bm* G
I'm so tired of open warfare when the point of this was to be best of friends
D*
We've been going round in circles like a plane without an engine
A*
As we spiral down the slipstream of our quickly sinking friendship
Bm* G
It's a trainwreck of an ending It's the same as if we'd never even met
D
But now I'm going through the motions like a dedicated doctor
A
Whose patient has been broken with no chance that he'll recover
Bm G
I keep shocking at the body just trying to make the heartbeat stay
Em G D
And I know that it's gone but I keep trying anyway
Bm G D A
Yeah we fall onto the floor not really sure if this
Bm G D A
Is breaking bones or making out maybe a bit of both
Em G
But I won't look away first And you won't look away first
Em G (end on D)
No I won't look away first And you won't look away first
