Em One is for envy and one just for spite C The cuts in my heart they show in your eyes G Don’t make it better the twisting knife D Turns all by itself on to someone else Em Your self-liberation will leave this behind C Beyond slings and arrows that rain on our minds G You’ll make it better shake it off D G It never mattered anyway Chorus: G D If we don’t make it alive Em Well it’s a hell of a good day to die D C All our light that shines strong D G Only lasts for so long G D And it’s ashes to ashes again Em Should we even try to pretend? D C All our light that shines strong D G Only lasts for so long Em The banner you’re waving is burning and red C It’s blocking the sunlight that shines overhead G You against the world diamonds and pearls D Voices inside you churn watch the city burn Em Your own liberation will leave them behind C All the slings and arrows that rain on your mind G Don’t make it better break it D G ʼCause it never mattered anyway Chorus: G D If we don’t make it alive Em Well it’s a hell of a good day to die D C All our light that shines strong D G Only lasts for so long G D And it’s ashes to ashes again Em Should we even try to pretend? D C All our light that shines strong D G Only lasts for so long Em I wonʼt calm down the banner youʼre waving C Is burning and red you against the world G Diamonds and pearls it never mattered, D G Mattered, mattered, anyway Chorus: G D If we don’t make it alive Em Well it’s a hell of a good day to die D C All our light that shines strong D G Only lasts for so long G D And it’s ashes to ashes again Em Should we even try to pretend? D C All our light that shines strong D G Only lasts for so long
