Pressure Cracks

C#m   A  G# A G#


[Verse 1]
C#m            G#            C#m          G#
The pressure cracks in that old wooden floor, still creaking.
A            G#    A                G#
Ever so softly, and just barely off key.
C#m         G#            C#m                     G#
It lets me know that you just got back from the adjustment league.
A                       G#
You can feel it in the air.
A                        G#                C#m                        A           G#      C#m
Something just died and came back to play fair.          Ohh, play fair.

[Verse 2]
C#m              G#      C#m               G#
We could just walk away. Or save it for another day.
A                           G#
And if this feeling grows at all,
        A                             F# G#
We can just stand back and watch the castle fall.
C#m                       G#        C#m                     G#
And have you ever tried to see, what beats so strong inside of me?
A                          G#
It's seldom that you ever cared.
A                         F#    G#
Undecided with a pittiful stare, saying


[Chorus]
C#m E F# A G#                         C#m
            Throw it away, throw it away.
C#m E F# A G#                         C#m
            Make your moment and make my day.
C#m E F# A G#                          C#m
            Throw it away , throw it away.
C#m E F# A G#                                     C#m
            This love has finally burned itself, betrayed.

[Verse 3]
C#m                  G#
Oh, if only we could do it again
C#m                                    G#
And you can have your fun with your so-called friends
         A                   G#
And I'd forget that we ever kissed
            A                        F#         G#
Might as well use that knife in my back on my wrists
C#m                    G#
See, I watch you look at me
C#m                              G#
all dressed up, the girls going out to party
        A              G#
and I might not have a home
              A                                 F#      G#
but I had a heart until you ripped it out and left me alone, saying:

[Chorus]
C#m E F# A G#                         C#m
            Throw it away, throw it away.
C#m E F# A G#                          C#m
            Make your moment and make my day.
C#m E F# A G#                          C#m
            Throw it away , throw it away.
C#m E F# A G#                                      C#m
            This love has finally burned itself, betrayed.

C#m E F# A G#                        C#m
            Throw it away, throw it away.
C#m E F# A G#                              C#m
            Make your moment and make my day.
C#m E F# A G#                              C#m
            Throw it away , throw it away.
C#m E F# A G#                                       C#m
            This love has finally burned itself, betrayed.
