	        (Intro) D Bm A 

D                            Bm           A 
With the arrogance of the drunk pedestrian 
D                Bm                   A 
Taxi driver looks down my girlfriends top 
D                Bm                 A 
Asks politely if he can be a gentlemen 
D                  Bm                        A 
Pulls his aviators down so he doesn't have to stop 

Bm                                      D 
And we'll keep on through the shit storm 

Until the metaphors are literal  
                         Bm 
Forced screams are guttural 
                                      D 
And we'll keep on through the shit storm  

Until the metaphors, until the metaphors 

G                 A      G      A 
When I said this is all I had I meant it 

D                          Bm   A                 D 
Nice speak in the tired clichés of a strip club DJ 
          Bm                   A 
Marvelous things so quickly get mundane 
D                           Bm 
When you see the scaffolding behind me 
                 A 
And all the dirty air it always blocks your way 

Bm                                D 
And we'll keep on through the shit storm 

Until the metaphors are literal  
                    Bm 
Forced screams are guttural 
                                      D 
And we'll keep on through the shit storm  
                 Bm                 A 
Until the metaphors, until the metaphors  

Until the metaphors 



       G             A     G      A 
When I said this was all I had I meant it 
       G           A     G       A 
When I said this was all I had I meant it 
         Em     F#m       G       A 
When you said I was a bad person I felt it 
         Em      F#m       G         A 
When I said this was all I had I meant it 
          Em     F#m        G        A 
When you said that I had destroyed you 
            Em             F#m         G       A  
I knew that part of you was trying to destroy me too 
       Em          F#m        G         A 
When I said that I wanted to die I meant it 
        Em           F#m      G         A 
When I said that you saved my life I meant it 

But goodbye 


(Bm D A G  ) 
(Goodbye   ) x3 

end on A
