Tonality
Am F Dm C Em



Intro:
Am F Dm x3
Am F Dm F x2
 
Verse:
Am    F              Dm    F
 All our friends have sponsors
         Am         F                   Dm     F
In the hope to attract a national brand
Am        F            Dm         F
  Sum your values up on a postcard
              Am     F            Dm      F
Hide the long words under stamps
 
Pre-chorus:
       Am                            F
Iʼm praying for wisdom - a better physician
         Dm                          F
While softly blaspheming in the brace position
        Am                        F
And every professional - checking the sensible
Dm                      F                                  Am  C  Dm F
Barely detectable, flawed by a scoundrelʼs design
 
Chorus:
        Am      C          Dm           F
And I fall - I tend to fall sometimes
        Am      C      F                                  Am C Dm
And Iʼm tall - But I canʼt access heaven if I tried.
      F                                       Am F  Dm Am F  Dm
No, I wonʼt get to heaven in this life
 
Verse:
Am       F          Dm                 F                    Am
  I could lie awake, oh God how I used to lie awake
              F           Dm  F
And listen to repetition
Am    F                     Dm                F                           Am
  In my dreams Iʼm chased, well at least when I dream then
                   F                 Dm  F
Not since my carbon emissions
 
Pre-chorus:
       Am                          F
Iʼve taken to listless, Iʼve been preconditioned
         Dm                   F
To misdiagnosing myself to remission
       Am                                F
We hunt down this villain, condemned to petition
         Dm                           F                        Am           C  Dm F
Worn down by attrition and flawed by a scoundrelʼs design
 
Chorus:
        Am      C          Dm           F
And I fall - I tend to fall sometimes
        Am      C      F                                  Am C Dm
And Iʼm tall - But I canʼt access heaven if I tried.
      F                                       Am F  Dm F
No, I wonʼt get to heaven in this life

Am F Dm F x4
Am Em F C x2

Outro:
    Am                Em
So whatʼs it even mean to be
     F                  C
Accepted by the scene and judge your
Am              Em
Worth in magazines and lend your
F                C
Life to ketamine
      Am                 Em
And I could see the woods if not for
  F                       C
All these ******* trees and weʼre so
  Am              Em
Haunted by a cure thatʼs for a
  F            C
Separate disease
               Am                   Em
He likes a spark that raises dimes and have no
  F                        C
Threat he stays inside thereʼs no more
Am                    Em
Meaning to the highs thereʼs only
  F                             C                  Am    Em
Viewing black blocks, built to watch it   burn
      F                  C                       Am
Iʼm not sure if itʼs purpose anymore
                 Em                     F
But I know this, despite my wish
                          Am
Scoundrels are forever
