C   Am

[Verse]
    C
No bother, climb to it, and call out canary
     Am
Don't worry, just grab it, it's something, abuse it
    C
My vision, a forest, a lot here to carry
     Am
Slide over and bite it, the apple and berry
    C
The volume and the riot, the smell of the lions
     Am
The sunsets behind me, the bullets start flying

[Pre-Chorus]
C/E                  F            C
Finding a light in a world of ruin
Am                         F               G
Starting to dance when the earth is caving in

We're ready to begin

[Chorus]
     C/E            F               C
It's alright, a bit scathed, a bit lost

I've been played, I ain't that clever
Am                   F
A city boy that can never say never
G
I got the life but that girl bites like a wolf

C Am

[Verse]
   C
Inertia, take cover, a cannon, you ready?
    Am
The image, the session, a poet is sleeping
    C
The courier, the pilot, antennas, and sirens
      Am
That college, like thieves that can eat with the wolfpack

[Pre-Chorus]
C/E                  F            C
Finding a light in a world of ruin
Am                         F               G
Starting to dance when the earth is caving in
C/E                    F                C
Setting a sun and the hearts are burning
Am                      F                    G
Leaving the nest to the back of a thousand winds

We're ready to begin

[Chorus]
     C/E             F               C
It's alright, a bit scathed, a bit lost

I've been played, I ain't that clever
Am                   F
A city boy that can never say never
G
I got the life but that girl bites like a wolf

    C/E            F              C
It's on me, it's only a small heart on one sleeve

Academy killer
Am                        F                     G
Off with his head in the make believe game of fools

That girl bites like a wolf

[Interlude]
C   Dm   Am   G

     C         Dm          Am
Are you, you ready? I'm waiting to begin
C   Dm   Am   G

     C         Dm          Am           C (hold)
Are you, you ready? I'm waiting to begin

[Chorus] (x2)
     C/E             F                C
It's alright, a bit scathed, a bit lost

I've been played, I ain't that clever
Am                   F
A city boy that can never say never
G
I got the life but that girl bites like a wolf

    C/E            F              C
It's on me, it's only a small heart on one sleeve

Academy killer
Am                        F                     G
Off with his head in the make believe game of fools
