[Intro]
Am
[Verse]
Am G
The bitter taste, I hold my tongue
D
The manic hope the damage done
Am G
It's bittersweet, black on gold
D
Talk is cheap, or so I'm told
Am
I'm gonna ride this
back to the edge of town
G
Roll to the bridge
with my eyes shut
D
And spit at the stars
And scream in the dark
Am
There's nothing I can do to
change it now
G
But if I cut myself open, baby
D
You can read all my scars
Read all my scars
[Chorus]
F Am
Hello, goodbye
C G
There's a million ways to die
F
Should've let me way back
Am
Should've let me way back
C G
By the roadside
F Am
Hello, goodbye
C G
I was staring in the devil's eyes
F
Should've let me way back
Am
Should've let me way back
C D
By the roadside
Am
It's a bitter taste
[Verse 2]
Am G
Jagged stain on my skin
D
Broken leg, born again
Am G
You are the guy, upside down
D
Twisted free, my new crown
Am
I'm gonna ride this
back to the break of day
G
Rolling through the
goggle of the fountain
D
Won't take it away
I'm not gonna change
Am
I'm gonna live so hard,
these broken wings
G
Will lift me to the sun
so I can burn
D
Up in the clinch
Again and again
[Chorus]
F Am
Hello, goodbye
C G
There's a million ways to die
F
Should've let me way back
Am
Should've let me way back
C G
By the roadside
F Am
Hello, goodbye
C G
I was staring in the devil's eyes
F
Should've let me way back
Am
Should've let me way back
C D
By the roadside
F Am C G
It's a bitter taste
[Bridge]
F Am C G
It's a jagged state
F Am C G
It's a bitter taste
F Am C D
It's a jagged state
[Chorus]
F Am
Hello, goodbye
C G
There's a million ways to die
F
Should've let me way back
Am
Should've let me way back
C G
By the roadside
Am
It's a bitter taste
