Standard Tuning, no capo, works for ukulele or guitar
Intro
A A Bm D (x2)
[Db] [Bm] [Db] [Bm]
Verse 1
[A]Time to put priorities in [Bm]order
As we dance across the [F]border
Of what is love and what is[D] madness
Time to deal with all the [A]sadness
Buried deep beneath the [Bm]floorboards
In the houses [F]entertainment built
Where the silence seems to [D]double every day
Interlude
[A] [F#m] [F] [D]
Verse 2
[A]Mother, tell me is this what you[Bm] wanted
I have tried my best to [F]keep away
From the privilege in my f[D]ather's name
So who's to blame for[A] certain?
Who can it be behind the [Bm]curtain?
The one who orchestrates the[F] violence
Boasting overtures of b[D]linding rage from the family stage
Pre-Chorus
It'[F#m]s changing[A] us (changing us)
Never[F#m] waking u[A]p (waking up)
Just l[DBm]ook at us
And see we are the way we are because you are the way you are
Chorus
It'[A]s simple
Yeah so [F#m]simple
But if it's [F]so simple
Why can't we ju[D]st get it?
Verse 3
It's to[A]rture
Rumors whispered around the corn[Bm]ers
Scratching at our brains like finger[F]nails
I guess that's what we get for [D]telling tales
Until there's none to tell
Pre-Chorus
It'[F#m]s changing[A] us (changing us)
Never[F#m] waking u[A]p (waking up)
Just l[DBm]ook at us
And see we are the way we are because you are the way you are
Chorus
It's[A] simple
Yeah so[F#m] simple
But if it's [F]so simple
Why can't we jus[D]t get it?
(And see we are the way we are because you are the way you are)
It's[A] simple
Yeah so[F#m] simple
But if it's [F]so simple
Why can't we jus[D]t get it?
(And see we are the way we are because you are the way you are)
It'[A]s simple.
