Devastation and Reform
by: Relient K
Verse 1:
C#m
Fear can drive stick and it's taking me down this road
B C#m
A road down which I swore I'd never go
A C#m
And here I sit thinking of God knows what
E/Ab C#m
Afraid to admit I might self-destruct
Pre Chorus:
A C#m
So lock the windows and bolt the door
A B C
Cuz I've got enough problems without creating more
Chorus:
A E
I feel like I was born to devastation and reform
C#m B
Destroying everything I loved and the worst part is
A E
I pull my heart out, reconstruct and in the end it's nothing but
F#m A
The shell of what I had when I first started
Interlude: C#m
Verse 2:
E B/D# E
Usually I'll cause my own first hit it seems to me to be slightly masochistic
NC
But there'd be no story without all this dissension
Ab Ab C#m C#m
So I inflict the conflict with the utmost of contemption
(Pre Chorus) (Chorus)
Bridge:
A E
Thank you God for giving me the insight
C#m B
So I might make these wrongs right
A E
If and when there ever is a next time
C#m B
Cuz failure is a blessing in disguise
A E
Pull my heart out, reconstruct
C#m B
And in the end it's nothing but
A B
The shell of what I had when I first started
F#m C#m D C#m Ab
The shell of what I had when I first started
(Chorus)
Outro:
When I first started
F#m C#m
The shell of what I had when I first started
