[Verse 1]
Bbm                     Db
In the backwards of the world
                      Eb
In the wings unfurled twirl
       Bbm         Ab           Eb
In the upside down frown of the dark
Bbm                  Db
On the tippy toe tin rooftops
Eb
In the vodka drama thrift shops
Bbm              Ab
It’s where we’ll make our mark

[Verse 2]
Bbm
It starts off like a pin prick
Eb
A trick of the light oil slick
                  Ab           Eb
Then grows to the size of your hand
Bbm               Db
Turns you outside in
                Eb
Cigar burns and scar skin
        Bbm      Ab       Eb
Ripping bone and nail and gland

[Pre-chorus]
Fm                      Bbm
But your blood does not bleed red no more
                      Gb
It’s whiter than the sun burns

Bright with every hum, ah
Fm                                    Bbm
From within this gaping wound of ours
Gb
A new us has begun

A new us has begun

A new us has begun (new us has be, new us has be, new us has)
              N.C.
Can’t we just talk about this
Bbm
Tomorrow

[Chorus]
Db                     Ab
Oh light me a New York torch my boys
Bbm Db                Ab
Ooh oh light me a New York torch my boys
Bbm Db
Ooh oh watch the fire surprise surprise
Ab
Burn up and up into those skies
Bbm Db                     Ab       Bbm  Db Eb
Ooh oh light me a New York torch my boys

[Verse 3]
Bbm
Tear me up and burn me up
Eb
And rip me up and leave your
Ab                      Eb
Hand on the wall as you go
Bbm
Blood’s pouring like martini
Eb
Graffiti sweet bikini
Ab                           Eb
Is that what you think of me now, no no no no

[Verse 4]
Bb
Are you god or devil, ghost disheveled
Db
Childhood friend or drunken revel
Eb
I cannot stop I’m bleeding out for you
Bb
You angel heart you monster oh
Ab
Some godforsaken Prospero
Eb
Your feathers and your paws

Your hell for leather applause

[Verse 5]
Bbm
You dance on tables, endless labels
Db
Are you Cain ‘cause I’m not Abel
Eb
Your bastard lasting nightbus asking

What’s the everlasting fable
Bbm                             Db       Eb      Ab
I cannot find (cannot find) the words to keep you
Bbm               Db       Eb   Ab
I cannot find the words to keep you

[Pre-chorus]
Fm                      Bbm
But your blood does not bleed red no more
Gb
It’s brighter than the sun burns

It’s whiter with every hum
Fm                      Bbm
From within this gaping wound of ours
Gb
A new us has begun

A new us has begun

A new us has begun (new us has be, new us has be, new us has begun)

Bbm                           Ab
Fuck you, fuck you, she says, he says
Eb                  Gb                 Bbm
