Strike Me Down

Am            Em7
Ooooooo- oo- ooooo
Am             Em7
Ooooooo- oo- ooooo

[Verse 1]

Am              C                 Dm                           Am        Em7
Bite my tongue, play it straight, we’re so young but we’re too pretty to wait
Am                                 C
Girls all think they’re something, playin’ by the rules
Dm                             C                  Em7
But I’m your partner in crime, I’m your suffering fool

[Chorus]

G                   Em7                           C
You got lucky I got lost, I’m a child, you’re the boss
G                        Em7                    G   Am
I’m just waiting for the lightning to strike me down
Am                           C                                G
You’ve been preaching to the choir, there’s no burden without fire
          F                Am
Strike me down, strike me down

Am             Em7
Ooooooo- oo-oo-ooo
Am             Em7
Ooooooo- oo-oo-ooo

[Verse 2]

Am           C               Dm                        Am         Em7
People talk. Talk talk talk. Words sound good, as they bypass the thought.
Am                  C
Silent strings, the trial adjourns,
Dm                                      C            Em7
but the warmth of the fire, it gets the sting of the burn

[Chorus]

G                   Em7                           C
You got lucky I got lost, I’m a child, you’re the boss
G                        Em7                    G   Am
I’m just waiting for the lightning to strike me down
Am                           C                                G
You’ve been preaching to the choir, there’s no burden without fire
          F                Am
Strike me down, strike me down

Am
Strike me down,
Am
Strike me down
Am             Em7
Ooooooo- oo-oo-ooo
Am             Em7
Ooooooo- oo-oo-ooo
Am
Ooooooo- oo-oo-ooo
