[Intro]
Fmaj7  E  Fmaj7  E
Am  E  F  E

[Verse 1]
Fmaj7
Do what you will, you can leave
              E
when you want
Fmaj7
Leave if you want, but I bet
               E
that you won't
Fmaj7
I see your problem, and it's

nothing to hide
E
Find any sailor with that look

in his eye
Fmaj7
Opening up, but there's no one
              E
that really cares

[Prelude]
F  C  Dm  A

[Pre-Chorus]
                       Bb
Mistook the words of a wise man

who once said
                F
"The birds of a feather die
           Em  E
together"

[Chorus]
F                         C
We could never afford it
                  Dm
We would dine and dash
                  A
I would always go last
                         Bb
No one gonna search me tonight
                    F
And I would give you the easy
    Em    E
way out

[Post-Chorus]

It's going great

Fmaj7  E

[Verse 2]
Fmaj7         E
I will not surrender
                 Fmaj7
Something in my brain
             E
I will not defend them
                Fmaj7
Lies you told today
                 E
Fighting for the future
                   Fmaj7
Watch the witches burn
           E
I cannot defend them

[Break]
              Fmaj7
Permission to speak?
              E
Permission to launch?
              Fmaj7
Permission to sit?
              E
Permission to die?

[Verse 3]
  Am
I sit him down, I tie him up
  E
I beat it out of him, alright
  F
I beat his brains 'til they're
       E7
in the floor

Until his family mourns
     Am
I'd shoot him now if he was here
     E
I'd slit his throat from ear to ear
    F
But I have sworn a life of peace
    E7
How can I reconcile this beast?

[Chorus]
F
We could never afford it
C
So we dine and dash
Dm
I would always go last
A                        Bb
No one gonna search me tonight
                        F
And I would give you the easy
    Em  
way out
F
We could never bought it
C
We would dine and dash
Dm
I would always go last
A                       Bb
No one gonna dash out tonight
                        F
And I would give you the easy
    Em    E
way out

[Verse 4]
A                        
Say, say what you want, it's
E/G#
fine
                     A
One at a time, we're born
                   E
Nothing is off the table anymore
A                          E/G#
Life, life isn't what they taught
                      A
Oh sh*t, I'm out of ammo
                      E/G#
One in a million, for sure
A                     E/G#
Say, I think I'm prejudiced
                         A
'Cause I don't like your face
                  E/G#
Over time, I'll accept it, though
  A                     E/G#
I guess, just like an animal is

that okay?
  A                      E
I know, say you want it, say

you want it

[Outro]
N.C.
I think that's— I think that's

the minimum soft

And you go harder if you want

but that's the minimum soft
