Scoundrel Days Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[B]

[Verse 1]
Was [B]that somebody [Em]screaming
It wasn't me for sure
I [Bb]lift my head up from uneasy
Pillows
Put my feet on [Gm]the floor
Cut my [Dm]wrist on [Gm]a bad [Dm]thought[Gm][Dm]
And [Gm]head for the door

[Verse 2]
[B]
Outside on the pavement
[Em]The dark makes no nois[Bb]e
I can feel the sweat on my lips
[Gm]Leaking into my mouth
[Dm]I'm head[D]ing out for the steep hills
[Gm]They're leaving me no choice
[B][G][Bm]

[Verse 3]
And [Em]see, [G]as [D]our li[Am]ves
are in [C]the making[G]
[D]We [Am]be liev[Em]e thr[G]ough[D]
the [Am]lies and the [C]hating[G]
[D]Tha[G]t l[Am]ove goes free[Em]

[Verse 4]
[Bm]For want of an o[Em]ption
I run the wind 'round
[Bb]I dream pictures of houses burning
Never [Gm]knowing nothing else to do
[F]With death comes the morning[C]
[Gm]Unannounced and new

[Verse 5]
[B]Was it too much [G]to [Bm]ask f[G]or[Em]
To pull a little weight,
[Bb]They forgive anything but greatness
[Gm]These are scoundrel days
[Dm]And I'm [Gm]close [D]to call
ing out their [Dm]names
[Gm]As pride hits my face[B][Bm][G]
[Bm]See,[Em] as ou[G]r [D]lives[Am]
are in the [C]making[G]
[D]We [Am]be liev[Em]e thr[G]ough[D]
their [Am]lies and [C]the hat[G]ing[D]
That [Am]love goes [Gm]free [Em]through
[Eb]Scoundrel days

[Interlude 1]
[Gm][F][C][Edim][Eb][Gm][Bb]
[Gm][Edim][Eb][Gm][Bb][Edim][Eb][Cm]

[Verse 6]
[B]I reach the edge of [Em]town[Bm][G]
[Em]I've got blood in my hair
[Bb]Their hands touch my body
[Gm]From everywhere
But I know that I've [D]made it
[Gm]As I run into the air
[Bm][Em][Bm]

[Verse 7]
[G]
[Bm]And [Em]see, a[G]s [D]our li[Am]ves
are in the [C]making[G]
[D]We [Am]be liev[Em]e thr[G]ough[D]
the [Am]lies and the [C]hat[G]ing[D]
That [Am]love goes [Em]free[G][D][Am][C][G][D]
Through [Am]scoundrel [G]days
