Intro: D  E  G  D

Verse 1:
D
Keep it in your bedroom museum
      E
And trash the place to keep it clean
  G                         D
Bury it with my dog in the yard
   D
Pasted up on four little walls
       E
You’re at again the hallowed halls
  G                          D
Echo with whatever we discard
       G
They took our tree to the burning yards
     D                      A
We took our chances with counting cards
   G
I dial and dial but you don’t hear a thing

Interlude: A

Chorus:
        D
These aren’t just words to toss around
        E7
We’ll build a house to burn it down
  G                                    D
Carve it in your bedpost like it’s scripture
    D                                   G
But it’s only gonna kill you if you let it
    G                                 D
You’re only gonna win if you’re bettin’

Interlude: G D

Verse 2:
   D
Facedown on your bedroom floor
      E                    Em
How sweet the sound how clean and pure
  G                             D
Save it for a teenage mausoleum
    D
Hungrier than evеr before
  A                   E
But I don’t dare to ask for morе
           G                         D    G
The years go by diluted with the screams

Chorus:
   D
Scattered on the holy ground
    E
We’ll build a house to burn it down
   G                                   D
Carve it in your bedpost like it’s scripture
  D
Blink, you’ll miss her
     D                                    G
On your wedding day won’t you save me a card?

Bridge:
       D                  G
Cause one day we’ll be living in the same old city
          E                                        G
And I’ll say let's start a band and mean it really

Verse 3:
  D
You can kick a girl while she's down
   A                    E
I’m sure that I’ll see you around
        G                               D
Don’t tell me you’ve forgotten how it feels to be an optimist
       D7                             D
Come here won’t you give me a kiss goodbye
                          G
It never won’t make my father cry

Outro:
           D                         G
But it’s only gonna kill you if you let it
    G                                 D      G   D
You’re always gonna win what you’re bettin’
