[Verse 1]
G D
Girl is gone but you don't know the truth,
Bm C
Your world is on fire but you've still got your youth,
A G
And everyone's telling you to be brave,
A D
You run to a city an empty parade.
[Verse 2]
G D
The fever it burns and it burns in your heart,
Bm C
It burns with the kids when they talk in the park,
A G
Telling them stories of wars in a bar,
A D
Telling them stories wont get you that far.

Let me out, let me out,

I'm not ready, I'll chase you to your doorstep.

You say that's ok,
Bm C
You can't trace me anyway,
A G
"Ah but they are the champions now",

[Verse 4]
G D
You pray that your dad will forget what you've done,
Bm C
But you get what you give when you live by the gun,
A G
All of the chasers that seem pretty ugly,
A D
They're on the ground and birds are above me.

I'm not ready, I'll chase you to your doorstep.
