_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [F]

[Am] _ _
I [G] don't want to be bad now.
[C] _ _
We [F] practice like a street beat [Am] now. _
_ _ [C] _ Keeps you [F] on your knees.
_ [G] _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _
The [G] ringing of the old broken [C] bell. _
I [F] always seem to catch the smell.
[Am] _ _
_ _ _ _ I [F] flinched before, _ [G] but I ain't flinching [C] anymore. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ [C] _ _ She came along like one of those songs [Am] that you hear.
You can't [G] stop [F] singing.
[C] I flinched, started it like my phantom limb.
[Am] That broken bell's always [G] _ [C] ringing.
[Am] _ _
But we don't [G] have to look back now.
[C] _
Waste my lyrics [F] without leaving town.
[Am] _ _
_ [C] Her face is all [F] I see.

_ _ _ _ [C] Oh, we're just _ _ _ slowing _ [G] _
down.
_ _ _ [A] _ _ [D] _
This song's to [E] hold my own [F] instead.
_ _ _ _ [C] _ Sing a _ brand _ _ _ [D] new sound.
_ [G] _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _
I [G] hold it _ _ [C] now.
_ _ [F] _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _
