[Intro]
A G A G A G C


[Verse 1]
A G               A           G
  Give yourself a little competition
      A      G          C
I can see it flaring up in your eyes
A G               A           G
  Give yourself a moment to remember
        A        G          C
all the trailing loose ends you've
           A    G A       G
left behind And I keep on wondering
A                  G
how all the walls around you have
C           A G
kept so high  Give yourself a
A         G
little competition it's the
A    G             C
only thing that'll get you by


[Chorus 1]
D                G
  Keep the wound salted
A       G       A      D C# D
Aooohhh ohhhhhh aooohhh
D                  G
  It's what you've always wanted

Aooohhh ohhhhhh aooohhh
D                G
  Keep the wound salted
E
Aooohhh ohhhhhh aooohhh ohhhhhh


[Verse 2]
A G               A           G
  Suddenly you've lost communication
        A          G        C
and you swear that it's all her mistake
A     G               A             G
  But you must really like this situation
          A               G         C
cause the clean break you wanted is now
            A    G            A     G
in your face She looked at you then at
        A     G            C
the room then at the state she's been
         A    G               A
living in And suddenly you're in
        G             A
a new position as the views
    G       C
you held so highly fade


[Chorus 2]
D                G
  Keep the wound salted
A       G       A      D C# D
Aooohhh ohhhhhh aooohhh
D                  G
  It's what you've always wanted
A       G       A      D C# D
Aooohhh ohhhhhh aooohhh
D                G
  Keep the wound salted

[Verse 3]
A G             A            G
  Give us all a little more emotion
       A      G          C
we can see it welling up in your
    A    G               A
eyes And we can see your fur is
        G              A
getting thicker as you show no
G        C              A
signs of compromise But don't go
G            A           G
running back when you realize that
A   G              C
  nobody is buying into your lies
A      G               A
  Then give yourself a little more
 G            A
opinion cause we know you'll
G     C
never choose to rectify
