[Song has loose, flowing tempo]
[INTRO]
[D] [A7sus4/F#] [Em7] [Asus4]
[VERSE 1]
[D]Blue light, police my world
[A7sus4/F#]Since I was a little kid
[Em7]I knew so little then
Well, it’s [Asus4]nice to see some things never change
[D]Through my nativity
[A7sus4/F#]In the month of the nativity
[Em7]You saw right through my proclivity
[Asus4]For the silence between the words
[D]I miss the awkward conversation
[A7sus4/F#]The pleasantries and niceties
[Em7]The fleeting words, the meaningless
[Asus4]That I’ll forget before morning
[D]Cause now I’m left with an empty mouth
[A7sus4/F#]And the weight of sincerity
[Em7]I want to lift it up and carry it
[Asus4]But I just seem to up and run
[CHORUS]
And it’s [G]never the pain we [Dsus2]expect
That [Aadd4]sends us to our [E7]knees
And it’s [G]never the ones we [Bm7]keep our targets [A]on
And it’s [G]never the ones with the [Dsus2]big loud guns
That [Aadd4]get us while we’re [E7]down
And that [G]bullet we’ve all got [Bm7]coming is never [A]on [D]time
[VERSE 2]
[D]Blue light, police my world
You’re a [A7sus4/F#]thought I had in binary
[Em7]And miles through the wires
[Asus4]I can admire your face again
[D]But love in ones and zeroes
Baby, it’s a [A7sus4/F#]damn shame you’re material too
I’m still [Em7]searching for that story
[Asus4]Embedded in the numbers
[D]But so are you
[A7sus4/F#]And so is every modern vagabond
[Em7]Across the pond and hemispheres
[Asus4]Nightmares for nameless fears
[D]I heard them screaming
[A7sus4/F#]Animal and man alike
[Em7]I saw Noah’s ark
[Asus4]It was capsized in an oil spill
[CHORUS]
And it [G]wasn’t the pain they [Dsus2]expected
That [Aadd4]sent them to their [E7]graves
And it’s [G]never the ones we [Bm7]keep our targets [A]on
And it’s [G]never the ones with the [Dsus2]big loud guns
That [Aadd4]get us while we’re [E7]down
And that [G]bullet we’ve all got [Bm7]coming is never [A]on [D]time
[BRIDGE]
[D]And you said
Don’t [Bm]build another [A]monument
To [Bm]someone you don’t really [D]know
And don’t [Em]idolize a [Bm7]pain you never [A]felt
Set your [Bm]final [A]table place
In this [Bm]burning [D]naval base
And quit [Em]navel gazing [Bm7]at your quiet [A]guilt
The [Bm]storefronts are in [A]ruins
And this [Bm]mall is on [D]fire
Every [Em]shopper in tears cause their [Bm7]coupons have [A]expired
The [Bm]windows are all [A]shattered
Somebody [Bm]set this mall on [D]fire
Every [Em]customer crying, all [Bm7]coupons have [A]expired
[CHORUS]
And it’s [G]never the pain we [Dsus2]expect
That [Aadd4]sends us to our [E7]knees
And it’s [G]never the ones we [Bm7]keep our crosshairs [A]on
And it’s [G]never the ones with the [Dsus2]big loud guns
That [Aadd4]get us in the [E7]back
And that [G]bullet we’ve all got [Bm7]coming is never [A]on [D]time
