Am , E
[Verse 1]Am E
You're my favorite explosion.
Am E
A violin with no hands plays symphonies with no words.
Am E
A drowning boy with no voice prays someone up there's telling me,
Am F C
You'd better not get back up!
E Am F C E
I spit my heart into this red cup.
Am F C E
I'd better pick it back up, it might ruin your night.
And she said,Am F C G
"Baby, leave the water by the bed for later,
Am F C G
and I woke up without a single drop.
[Chorus] Am F C G
I told myself I'm tired of holding up your backup plans.
Am F C G
Go down your list and be satisfied if all you have is not enough.
(True love comes from more than just the heart) Am E
She said paint a picture on me,
Am E
throw your dress up and your heart away.
Am
Yeah, I heard what you said.
E AM E
A friend of a friend, these strangers at the party never paid.
Am F C
And if that doesn't turn you on.
E Am F C E
I'll keep talking till something does.
Am F C E7
As we're covered in sand, you roll over and smile.
[Chorus] Am F C G
I told myself I'm tired of holding up your backup plans.
Am F C G
Go down your list and be satisfied it's all you have
[Bridge] E
and until that day,
I'll steal you flowers from the cemetery, red roses.
(during this next part listen to the guitars to figure out how to play it)F F C C F F Am Am E
Red rose of the dead.
How does it feel to breathe oxygen inside my head?
[Verse] Am E
So say it, say I'm in love, cause you called me
Am E Am
crying from your job, said you just got fired.
F C G
And you don't have a backup plan,
Am F C G
so don't expect me to understand.
(A diamond bullet and a gun made of gold, she was covered in blood last seen in San Francisco)Am F C E
Yeah!
We all breakdown. Am F C E
Sometimes the bedroom walls become my only friends,
Am E C (or E7)
but they were there from beginning to end.
[Chorus 2] Am F C G
I told myself I'm tired of holding up your backup plans.
Am F C G
Go down your list and be satisfied it's all you have
Am F C
You know I've never held a gun in my life,
G Am F C
but now I carry one around in case I see you tonight.
G
Bedroom walls.
Am F
Oh, these bedroom walls.
C G
Oh, I hate what it tastes like.
Am, E
