Till it's too late

[Verse 1]
F#m
   Where transfixed on a pendulum sky
A                     E            D  Bm
Watch another tank of gasoline run dry
F#m
   A death stare from a cold dead eye
          A
As you're chopping up the carrot
E                D     Bm
Sharpening their knives
F#m
   Don't blink keep your eyes on
                    A
the prize While you rip me into
       E              D   Bm
pieces Cut me down to size
F#m
   Don't dare try to keep it inside
          A
Cause the only way to make us
E                   D  Bm
laugh Is to make us cry
 
 
[Refrain 1]
Bm A G
      Just when you

thought you've
A       Bm A G
seen it all
         Em
A storm awaits
  A        Bm  A G
behind the door
            Em
Disgruntled right
            A
down to the core
Em
  We still go on

   Beat up put the slate go the grind
        A                     E
Another rocket launcher going off
          D   Bm F#m
inside my mind      Tight cuffs only
                    A
hold me tight Every thought about
           E              D   Bm
the future Leaves me terrified

   I'm sick of the same old lies
              A
Why don't you talk about your
              E
feelings? Who gives a shit
      D    Bm F#m
about mine?      Death grips
got a hold of my side Cause the
A                   E
only way to make us laugh
              D  Bm
Is to make us cry
