[Verse 1]
E F# E
Close upon your lips, lyin' to me
C#m G#m F# E
Sayin' I'm with you, wherever you'll be
B E
A jumpcut to the bed we used to share
Em F E
Before you had the baby and I cut off my hair
[Pre-Chorus]
C#m Em F#
What's a life without the consequences?
C#m G#m F#
What's a knife without the sharpened edges?
[Chorus]
C#m G#m F#
Did I cut the wrong wire today?
C#m G#m F#
Did I set it on fire? The way
E G#m
Scotland burned in '44
F# E
Like I never learned to leave a war
C#m G#m F#
I just keep comin' back for more
E
For more
[Verse 2]
E F# E
A wide shot of the aisle of a grocery store
C#m G#m F# E
Panned down to the crooked wheel on the dirty white floor
Em E
Maybe all I'll ever be is a cameo here
C#m Em G#m F# E
A face a crowd might recognize, it comes on twice a year
F# E
And then I disappear
[Chorus]
C#m G#m F#
Did I cut the wrong wire today?
C#m G#m F#
Did I set it on fire? The way
E G#m
Scotland burned in '44
F# E
Like I never learned to leave a war
C#m G#m F#
I just keep comin' back for more
[Bridge]
C#m G#m F#
Can we take a walk before you walk away?
C#m G#m F#
Can we try to talk, or will you call it fake?
E G#m F# E
Can we take a walk before you walk away?
Em G#m F#
Walk away
[Pre-Chorus]
C#m Em F#
What's a life without the consequences?
C#m G#m F#
What's a knife without the sharpened edges?
[Chorus]
G#m F#
Did I cut the wrong wire today?
C#m G#m F#
Did I set it on fire? The way
E Em
Scotland burned in '44
F# E
Like I never learned to leave a war
C#m G#m F#
I just keep comin' back for more
E
For more
Close up on your lips
Lying to me
Saying, "I'm with you
Wherever you'll be"
A jump cut to the bed
We used to share
Before you had the baby
And I cut off my hair
What's a life without the consequences?
What's a knife without the sharpened edges?
Did I cut the wrong wire today?
Did I set it on fire the way
Scotland burned in '44
Like I never learned to leave a war
I just keep coming back for more
For more
A wide shot of the aisle
Of a grocery store
Pan down to the crooked wheel
On the dirty white floor
Maybe all I'll ever be is the cameo here
A face the crowd might recognize
That comes home twice a year
And then I disappear
Did I cut the wrong wire today?
Did I set it on fire the way
Scotland burned in '44
Like I never learned to leave a war
I just keep coming back for more
Can we take a walk before you walk away?
Can we try to talk or will you call it fake?
Can we take a walk before you walk away?
Walk away
What's a life without the consequences?
What's a knife without the sharpened edges?
Did I cut the wrong wire today?
Did I set it on fire the way
Scotland burned in '44
Like I never learned to leave a war
I just keep coming back for more
For more
