D Asus4 Dmaj7 Bm
[Verse 1]
D Asus4
The businessmen are drinking my blood
Dmaj7 Bm
Like the kids in art school said they would
D Asus4
And I guess I'll just begin again
Dmaj7 Bm
You say, "Can we still be friends?"
|[Chorus]
|D E7
| If I was scared, I would
|D E7
| And if I was bored, you know I would
|D E7 Dmaj7 Dmaj7
| And if I was yours, but I'm not
[Verse 2]
D Asus4
All the kids have always known
Dmaj7 Bm
That the emperor wears no clothes
D Asus4
But they bow down to him anyway
Dmaj7 Bm
Because it's better than being alone
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
D Asus4
Now you're knocking at my door
Dmaj7 Bm
Saying, "Please come out with us tonight"
D Asus4
But I would rather be alone
Dmaj7 Bm
Than pretend I feel alright
D Asus4
If the businessmen are drinking my blood
Dmaj7 Bm
Like the kids at art school said they would
D Asus4
Then I guess I'll just begin again
Dmaj7 Bm
You say, "Can we still be friends?"
|[Chorus]
|D E7

|Now I'm ready to start
[Interlude]
Dmaj7 E7 D
Now I'm ready to start
Dmaj7 E7 D
I would rather be wrong
Dmaj7 E7 D
Than live in the shadows of your song
Dmaj7
My mind is open wide
E7 D
And now I'm ready to start
[Outro]
Dmaj7 E7 D
And now I'm ready to start
Dmaj7
My mind is open wide
E7 D
And now I'm ready to start
Dmaj7
Not sure you'll open the door
E7 D
To step out into the dark
Dmaj7 E7
Now I'm ready
