E        A        E        A


[Verse 1]
E
Hey Mr. cage man let me get a fresh breath
Cherry bomb head strong I could fake my own death
A
Hey Mr. fate man shuffle me a ninth life
I’ve been wrong, go long, throwing me a sharp right
E
   It’s not a picture perfect life
                  F#m
Not what I had in mind
(no chord)
Let me write my own line


[Chorus]
E
I’ve got this place
          A
That I’ve filled with empty space
       B                            E
Oh I’m trying not to face what I’ve done
My hopeless opus
E                           A
   I’m in this race and I’m hoping just to place
       B                           E
Oh I’m trying not to face what’s become of me
My hopeless opus


[Interlude]
E          A


[Verse 2]
E
Hey Mr. safe man hustle me an okay
I could slide take a dive take it for the home team
A
Hey Mr. postman slip me one more green note
I’ve been low hit the floor looking just to make broke
E
   It’s not a picture perfect life
                  F#m
Not what I had in mind
(no chord)
Let me write my own line


[Chorus]
E
I’ve got this place
          A
That I’ve filled with empty space
       B                            E
Oh I’m trying not to face what I’ve done
My hopeless opus
E                           A
   I’m in this race and I’m hoping just to place
       B                           E
Oh I’m trying not to face what’s become of me
My hopeless opus


[Bridge]
E

Hey Mr. cage man
Cherry bomb
Let me get
Cherry bomb
Cherry bomb
