Trauma Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][C][Em][G][D][C][Em][G][Bb]

[Verse 1]
[D]What
makes a girl start a [C]fire in the hall
Leave a [Em]lipstick scrawl
On the [G]bathroom [D]mirror?
She won't settle for a [C]pile
of scrap metal
While you [Em]work the gas pedal
on an[G]other man's [D]steer
She takes her time as au[C]thorities arrive
Going [Em]out for a smoke
in the [G]empty back [D]lot
She sees the world she [C]imagined as a girl
As a [Em]lottery ticket for a
[G]phoney jack[D]pot[E]
Years roll [Em]on and we still h[E]ave not

[Verse 2]
[G]
dealt with [D]our trauma[E]
Years roll on we still have not [G]looked at our sin
[A]s

[Interlude 1]
[D][C][Em][G][Bb][D][C][Em][G][Bb]

[Verse 3]
[D]What makes a man take
a hammer in [C]his hand
Shutter [Em]every last window
of a [G]company [D]store
At 3 am with the [C]fury's back again
Now [Em]it's hammer against
man: a [G]personal [D]war
The mind snaps and [C]eco
nomies collapse
When the [Em]one who works hardest
gets the [G]smallest re[D]ward
The big scam [C]is nobody gives a damn
That the [Em]penthouse suite depends
on the [G]bottom three [D]floors

[Verse 4]
[Bm]And I know how h[G]ard
you've been [D]working[Bm]
We all [G]know somebody
who's [D]been killed[Bm]
[G](?) like ivo[D]ry tower and the
power [Bm]we wield
(?) em[G]pires [D](?)[E]
Years roll on [Em]and they still have not

[Verse 5]
[G]
dealt with [D]our trau[E]ma
Years roll on and they still [Em]have not [G]looked at their
sin[A]s
