Paradigms

Capo: 1st fret

[Intro]
Dm  F  C
Dm  F  C
 
 
[Verse 1]
                      Dm        F             C
Every bully that had maimed you, bled you dry
                            Dm
And the blinkered say that boys will be boys
             F                  C
And they're just kids being sly
                    G         F
And they wonder why, some die
                   Dm     F                  C
Every image of perfection, starts a goldmine
                 Dm           F                    C
They gave you bulimia, those marketing masterminds
                     G             F
Happens all the time, all the time
 
 
[Chorus]
                  Dm
And it breaks you up
F          C
 Over time
                  Dm
And it breaks you up
F          C
 Over time
 
 
[Verse 3]
                      Dm        F              C
Every moment in this dark world, I'm terrified
                Dm                     F              C
Reaching for a light in a gauntlet of toxic paradigms
                      G          F
Sometimеs I wanna die, sometimes
 
 
[Verse 4]
                         Dm     F                   C
Evеry headline, they betray you, and the little guy
                      Dm                      F         C
But what would you expect from oligarchs and pedophiles
                     G             F
Makes you wonder why, you even try
 
 
[Chorus]
                  Dm
And it breaks you up
F          C
 Over time
                  Dm
And it breaks you up
F          C
 Over time
                  Dm
And it breaks you up
F           C              Dm    F
 Breaks you up, breaks you up
 
 
[Bridge]
 C
No one should feel like this
 G                  F
No one should feel like this
 C
No one should feel like this
 
 
[Instrumental]
Dm  F  C
Dm  F  C
 
 
[Chorus]
                  Dm
And it breaks you up
F           C              Dm    F    C
 Breaks you up, breaks you up
                  Dm
And it breaks you up
F          C
 Over time
                  Dm
And it breaks you up
F          C
 Over time
