G                   Em
The night was cool and bleeding black
               Bm               C
As you crawled out across the glass
             G           Em
Oh, oh, with my blood and bones
    Bm               C
And feathers in your teeth

G Em Bm C
G Em Bm C

[Verse]
      G           Em
I was coming down fast
     Bm             C
From where once was wonder
      G            Em
I was coming down fast
      Bm        C
Black dog on my back
            G           Em
Yeah, I was coming down fast
     Bm             C
From where once was wonder
      G  Em       Bm C
I was coming down fast

[Pre-chorus]
              G                 Em
The night was cool and bleeding black
               Bm             C
As you crawled out across the glass
             G            Em
Oh, oh, with my blood and bones
    Bm               C
And feathers in your teeth
           G              Em
I swear to God, the Ghost and Father
          Bm           C
Sometimes it's just so much harder
        G      Em
So much harder to hold your
Bm            C
Breath and to breathe
Bm                  D
But it comes so easily, oh

[Chorus]
G         Em
Oh, while we're young, yeah
Bm           C
Let's go out and get some scars
G        Em
Cos when we're older
      Bm                C
We'll wear them to tell us apart

[Verse]
G Em Bm C
        G             Em
No this feeling won't last
      Bm        C
So we sink to a slumber
         G        Em
Thinking every balloon
    Bm          C
You blow up had burst
        G             Em
No this feeling won't last
      Bm        C
So we sink to a slumber
            G   Em         Bm   C
Screaming, 'You killed me first'

[Pre-chorus]
               G            Em
Where once was wonder's now the feeling
           Bm         C
Of weeping like the water wheel
                G            Em
That just keeps turning till we're numb
     Bm               C
Blue summer, no dice, son
             G              Em
Set these controls for that blue moon
              Bm         C
Just like you did when I was cruel
             G         Em
But if we're going up, and up and up
               Bm              C
Then we aren't coming down too soon
          Bm              D
We aren't coming down too soon

[Chorus]
G        Em
Oh while we're young, yeah
Bm           C
Let's go out and get some scars
G        Em
Cos when we're older
      Bm                C
We'll wear them to tell us apart
G        Em
Oh while we're young, yeah
Bm           C
Let's go out and get some scars
G        Em
Cos when we're older
      Bm                C
We'll wear them to tell us apart
      Bm                D
We'll wear them to tell us apart

G Em Bm C x2

[Breakdown]
       G                 Em
When I get to the gutter I get up
                   Bm               C
And I show you the scars that I won on my way to the bottom
       G                 Em
When I get to the gutter I get up, I get up
      Bm           C
And I show you the scars
       G                 Em
When I get to the gutter I get up
                   Bm               C
And I show you the scars that I won on my way to the bottom
       G                 Em
When I get to the gutter I get up, I get up
      Bm           C
And I show you the scars

[Chorus]
G        Em
Oh, when we're older
Bm            C
Let's meet up and show the scars
   G          Em
We got when we were young
      Bm                C
We'll need them to tell us apart
G        Em
Oh, when we're older
Bm            C
Let's meet up and show the scars
   G           Em
We got when we were young
      Bm                C
We'll need them to tell us apart
      Bm                D
We'll need them to tell us apart
