Stare me down, shake me up for you only live once

Am7           Am7+  G      E7
i concluded long ago that your wires had been cut
         Fmaj7
and that's a flaw
Bridge 1:
Dm                 Fmaj7
I scratched the metal, and it cut me back
Cmaj7                Gmaj7
where are the morals and the thanks?
Dm                Fmaj7
and all the blankets of angst and promise
Emaj7
wrap themselves around my head
Chorus:
Cmaj7           Em
When you're speaking, don't hold your tongue
       Fmaj7            Fm
'cause the population likes to hear what you say
Cmaj7                Em
and while you're livin', don't hold your breathe
       Fmaj7            Fm            Am7
'cause the door will only stay open for so long
                C7
but when you're walkin' be careful who you step on
          Dm7     F7
then have the audacity to look to the bottoms of your shoes
Am7, Am7+ G, Emaj7, Fmaj7

To avoid piercing sighs, keep your eyes straight ahead.

burn me, cut me open. can't afford to be late.
  Am7           Am7+   G
I grind my coffee at midnight
    E7                  Fmaj7
and it waits for you there in styrofoam
Bridge 2:
Dm                Fmaj7
The clock is crying; he doesn't know when.
  Cmaj7              Gmaj7
but it's okay 'cause the sun's still up.
Dm                Fmaj7
your stares turn to the other direction
  Emaj7
and ice heats up and heartbeats melt

                      Dm7
{to look to the bottoms of your} shoes
      Am               Dmaj7
and when they break, guess who'll be watchin'
        Fmaj7         Fm      Dm7
guess who'll be markin' their words
     Am             Dmaj7
and when i break, i won't be askin', no.

i won't be askin'.
