Lyrics

[Intro]
| Em | - | C | - |
| G  | - | D | - |

[Verse 1]
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
Move on to someone else
     Em
Your selfliberation
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]
                     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
                         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

[Verse 2]
    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 selfliberation
Will leave this behind
       C
Beyond slings and arrows
That rain on our minds
G
Don't make it better
Break it cause
         D           G
It never mattered anyway

[Chorus]
                     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
                         D
And it's ashes to ashes again
                         Em
Should we even try to pretend?
        D                 C
All our light that shines strong
     D            Em
Only lasts for so long

[Bridge]
C G D Em   C        G       D
      I... won't... calm... down...
    Em
The banner you're waving
   C
Is burning and red
G
You against the world
Diamonds and pearls
         D
It never mattered, mattered, mattered
   G
Anyway

[Chorus]
                     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
                         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
        D                 C
All our light that shines strong
     D            G
Only lasts for so long
