Lyrics

[Intro]
| E - - - | - - - - | - - - - | - - - - |
| - - - - | - - -

[Verse 1]
E
 Don't wanna live as an untold story
Rather go out in a blaze of glory
A
I can't hear you, I don't fear you
E
 I'll live now cause the bad die last
Dodging bullets with your broken past
A                                  B
I can't hear you, I don't fear you now

[Pre-Chorus]
G#                    C#m
Wrapped in your regret
            D             A
What a waste of blood and sweat
        B
Oh oh oh
              E
I wanna taste love and pain

[Chorus]
Wanna feel pride and shame
              C#m
I don't wanna take my time
Don't wanna waste one line
             F#m
I wanna live better days
Never look back and say
                A
Could have been me
                   B
It could have been me
    E
Yeah

[Verse 2]
E
 Don't wanna live as an unsung melody
I'd rather listen to the silence telling me
A
I can't hear you, I won't fear you
E
 Don't wanna wake up on a monday morning
The thought of work is getting my skin crawling
A                                  B
I can't fear you, I don't hear you now

[Pre-Chorus]
G#                    C#m
Wrapped in your regret
            D             A
What a waste of blood and sweat
        B
Oh oh oh
              E
I wanna taste love and pain

[Chorus]
Wanna feel pride and shame
              C#m
I don't wanna take my time
Don't wanna waste one line
             F#m
I wanna live better days
Never look back and say
                A
Could have been me
                   B
It could have been me
Yeah
E              E
 I wanna taste love and pain

[Break]
Wanna feel pride and shame
              C#m
I don't wanna take my time
Don't wanna waste one line
           F#m
Wanna live better days
Never look back and say
                A
Could have been me
                   B
It could have been me
              E
I wanna taste love and pain

[Outro]
Wanna feel pride and shame
              C#m
I don't wanna take my time
Don't wanna waste one line
             F#m
I wanna live better days
Never look back and say
                A
Could have been me
                   B E
It could have been me
