Intro is the same as the chorus.
[G]The record keeps skipping through dirty windscreens
[Am]And it's one never ending c[C]liche highway scene
and the [G]visit's too s[F/G]hort and the jo[Em]urneys too long
[C]It feels like we're trapped in some d[D]amn burnouts song
[C]But no tool belts or steel caps just drums and guitars
[D]And we don't work in mines we just sing songs in bars
Chorus:
[C]It's a broken down dream but we [D]call it a life
Like a c[G]ircus per[F/G]former who s[Em]wallows the knife
[C]Just to spit out the handle and choke on the blood
It's a [D]broken a broken down dream but we pray it's enough
[G]I'd give the devil my soul for a good show tonight
[Am]Just a glimpse just a sign I'm not w[C]asting my life
Give me he[G]llfire et[F/G]ernal when I'm d[Em]one with this earth
[C]And Satan one more thing please l[D]et them buy merch
[C]Cause the van is sure thirsty we've got a long way to drive
[D]And we better get going or we won't make it on time
Chorus:
[C]It's a broken down dream but we [D]call it a life
Like a c[G]ircus per[F/G]former who s[Em]wallows the knife
[C]Just to spit out the handle and choke on the blood
It's a [D]broken a broken down dream but we pray it's enough
C D x4
[Am]And the stranded bored and stagnant they point to their chains
[C]And in hushed tortured voices ask how dare we complain
[Am]They think the damnationon it comes standing still
[C]But we know all too well it's this distance that kills
[Am]All the flowers and crosses that haunt these roadsides
[C]And we swear sometimes it's like s[D]wallowing knives
Chorus:
[C]It's a broken down dream but we [D]call it a life
Like a c[G]ircus per[F/G]former who s[Em]wallows the knife
[C]Just to spit out the handle and choke on the blood
It's a [D]broken a broken down dream but we pray it's enough
