[Intro]
F#
 
 
[Verse 1]
F#m         A
Anything at all
F            D
Anything and I will find you
F#m          A
Anything at all
     F              D
Can I be your first brawl?
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
F#m    A          F         D
  Everyone that's there is someone
F#m    A          F         D
  Everyone that's here is someone
F#m    A          F         D     A
  Everyone, I swear, is someone's daughter
 
 
[Chorus]
       D                    A
And it feels so good upon a Saturday night
        E                 B7
When the bastards come to fight
       D                    A
And it won't be long before they carry me home
        E               B7
I'm the bastard of your light
 
 
[Verse 2]
F#m                A
When it's said and done
F                  D
Meet me at the old meat market
F#m                A
When it's said and done
F                  D
Can I please make you come?
 
[Pre-Chorus]
 
F#m    A          F         D
  Everyone that goes is someone
F#m    A          F         D
  Everyone that throws is someone
F#m    A          F         D     A
  Everyone that knows it's in the water
 
 
[Chorus]
       D                    A
And it feels so good upon a Saturday night
        E                 B7
When the bastards come to fight
       D                    A
And it won't be long before they carry me home
        E               B7
I'm the bastard of your light
       D                        A
And it feels so fine to know my shattering bones
          E                   B7
When it's all those lefts and rights
       D                        A
And it won't be long before I'm buried alone
        E               B7
I'm the bastard of your light
 
 
[Bridge]
(play all as power chords)
   F#m        A
I'll decorate your face
             Cm      Bm
It's time to get it on
   F#m        A
How does that crimson taste?
   Fm         Cm   Em
What, what, what, what?
   F#m         A
It's time to bob and weave
         C         Bm
Ya gotta move your feet
   F#m              A       Fm  C   E
It's an honor to receive
   F#m         A
Tomato cans on tap
        C     Bm
Another dandy chap
   F#m         A
How 'bout a canvas nap?
   Fm         C   Em
One, two, three, four
 
(play these as power chords starting on the 8th fret for the Fm)

Fm   Em   Dm
Fm   Em   Dm
Fm   Em   Dm
 
[Chorus]
       D                    A
And it feels so good upon a Saturday night
        E                 B7
When the bastards come to fight
       D                         A
And it won't be long before they carry me home
       E                B7
I'm the bastard of your light
       D                    A
And it feels so good upon a Saturday night
        E                 B7
When the bastards come to fight
       D                    A
And it won't be long before they carry me home
       E                B7
I'm the bastard of your light
              Anything at all
Anything and I will find you
Anything at all
Can I be your first brawl?

Everyone that's there is someone
Everyone that's here is someone
Everyone, I swear, is someone's daughter

And it feels so good upon a Saturday night
When the bastards come to fight
And it won't be long before they carry me home
I'm the bastard of your light

When it's said and done
Meet me at the old meat market
When it's said and done
Can I please make you come?

Everyone that goes is someone
Everyone that throws is someone
Everyone that knows it's in the water

And it feels so good upon a Saturday night
When the bastards come to fight
And it won't be long before they carry me home
I'm the bastard of your light

And it feels so fine to know my shattering bones
When it's all those lefts and rights
And it won't be long
Before I'm buried alone
I'm the bastard of your light

I'll decorate your face
It's time to get it on
How does that crimson taste?
What, what, what, what

It's time to bob and weave
Ya gotta move your feet
An honor to receive

Tomato cans on tap
Another dandy chap
How 'bout a canvas nap?
One, two, three, four

And it feels so good upon a Saturday night
When the bastards come to fight
And it won't be long before they carry me home
I'm the bastard of your light

And it feels so good upon a Saturday night
When the bastards come to fight
And it won't be long before they carry me home
I'm the bastard of your light
