[B] There is no rush when you don't [C] belong Turns out we don't all fight like [Em] dogs in
the end Most of us wanna roll out, [C] roll under the [D] grass
You [E] remember it's parted, no bridge in your song
[Em] The spirit [C] in her won't cure my heartbreak [Em] I was a dream I went and learned to take
[E] And looking at her in the [Em] fireplace There are factors that condition me
Something [C] in the kind of pain
[Em] You're [A] failing me
[Em] The blank one is cartwheeled out of the furnace
[C] The more I never cry, [Em] you see The girls in the song didn't make it
Still sleep on [C] their backs, understood a fire When you've spoken all [Am] your [E] morals will
sigh The world [Em] is [Am] always adding, adding, adding
Don't [E] you see?
[C] Death's on the highways, you're drinking The casinos feel [Em] so natural
Every day a dice roll, every way a gamble Where is something [C] I can handle?
In a world full [Em] of death, draw my [E] saviour The autonment to savour everyone [C] else's failure
[G] Endlessness
[E]
[C] Even the greatest, the very, very greatest gave up
Tap out, [Em] told all you fuckers to lie [E] down Yet still you found cathedrals of [C] bliss
Where does the rubber go?
Where does the [Em] rubber go to?
To [C] hell
[Em]

[E] [Em] To
[C] hell To hell
To [Em] hell
So dumb, why don't they [C] end?
Better you go than buy another end
Buy, [Em] sentiment, buy
Better you go than [C] buy
Such a hate [Em] town
There [C] is no road from comfort home Sometimes I feel alone, but I know
[Em]
[Am] Most things won't roll out, won't wander the ground
See the rim of [Em] this cartoon, I'll bridge in your song
Make [Am] me wander again
Won't make me [Em] love again
To pretend, make [Am] me wonder again
[C] Won't make me love [Em] again
Make [C] me wonder
Won't make me [Em] love again
