D         F#m       Bm             F#m
Took a long trip to try to get it right
Em                         G
They heard them crickets, singing in the streets and the
D    F#m             Bm                F#m   Em                             G
slow parade, of the whole thing coming down, city lights where fireflys from hill on the edge of town
D          F#m              Bm                F#m
I know you had to change it and at the time I didn't blame you
Em                     G
I just sort of took it personal
D           F#m               Bm           F#m
I think you like the taste of sugar coated rotten apples
Em                           G        G7
think I look funny with that hat on


[Chorus]
D                                      G
People say the strangest things in the name of self defense
F#m                               G
I need your blood in my arms so I cut off all my limbs
Em                          Em
And right as I was changing, I realzied I did
A                                    A7
"shut your mouth you stupid boy you just don't understand"

So I went looking for surrender, looking for pretenders, waiting all the time
D      F#m            Bm           F#m            Em                   G
Had so much love and i didnt know what to do so i wasted it, on petty crime


[Pre-Chorus]
D            F#m                   Bm
If you wanna change then you gotta grow
             F#m                 Em            G
If you wanna change then you gotta, wait for it
D            F#m                   Bm
If you gotta change then you gotta grow
             F#m                  Em           G
If you gotta change then you gotta do it my way


[Chorus]

People say the strangest things in the name of self defense
F#m                               G
I need your blood in my arms so I cut off all my limbs
Em                          Em
And right as I was changing, I realzied I did
