Interlude II/Bridge (upbeat)
D, A x 1
[D]so what the fuck are you going to do?
they robbed your life from you
A (pause)
tell them you want to get it back
if yo[A]u do, I've got your back
[D]yes it's something worth defending
so throw caution to the wind
A(pause)
and other platitudes
that w[A]ere written just for you
[D]take a shit in their swimming pool
let them chase you if you do
[A]finally something is happening to you
[D]put an axe through the TV
blow up your radio,
[A]though you can't see them now
you'll hear birds singing in your soul
[D]sneak your way past the gates in a hard heart shape
[A]if you're gonna be a shark you better learn to stay awake
