Verse

 When I was younger, I wish that I would have known better.

Better love makes a fat romance, that last for more than a shoe shine

 I'm older, took all the words from my mother, saying,

It could be worse you could be born with that disease instead of catching it

first.

Lead In:

 So let's go back, to the first time, that I met you, in your Chevy, with

 your hands stretched, and me crying, screaming,"Mercy, mercy."

 But I know that, I was put here, to fight Vikings, in a cold war, with my

 arms out, in the front lines, singing, "Dare me, dare me"

Chorus

 But these things take time love

 These things take backbone

 And they tell you what you want to hear cause they think it's better. Better

 But you better know how to point out the liars.

 You've got to weigh your wars make sure you're not fighting for

nothing. Nothing.

Are you fighting for nothing?

Second Verse:

 It feels like this world has been slowly growing upside down

Maybe I should move to China, and straighten this mess out.

 Maybe I'll be a poet

 Watch all the skys for falling words

and write about my grandma's curtains, or the lady who put the Chinese

buffet in her purse.

Lead In:

 I've got my mouth, it's a weapon, it's a bombshell, it's a cannon, I've got

 my words, I won't give them mercy. Mercy.

Chorus

 But these things take time love

 These things take backbone

 And they tell you what you want to hear cause they think it's better. Better

 But you better know how to point out the liars.

 You've got to weigh your wars make sure you're not fighting for

nothing. Nothing.

Are you fighting for nothing?

 Strum these chords: , , ,

Bridge

(Strum the first four chords once.)

 I've got my words. I hope they hurt you. I hope they scar you. I hope

 they heal you.

(Start strumming again.)

 I hope they cut you open, make you see that your warring for all the wrong

reasons.

 Make you see some things are worth bruising for.

 Make you see that your name is your honor code.

 Make you see that your hands your accounted for.

 Pick and choose where your sweat and blood will go

 Make you see that your life's not to be lived alone

 Run their spit through your hair, you're worth nothing. Nothing

Chorus x2
