The Phoenix

Em

Put on your war paint!

Em

1. You are a brick tied to me that's dragging me down

Em

Strike a match and I'll burn you to the ground

Em

We are the jack-o-lanterns in July

Setting fire to the sky

Em

Here, here comes this rising tide, so come on!

Em

Put on your war paint!

Em

Cross walks and crossed hearts and hope to die

Em

Seal the clouds with grey lining

*: So we can take the world back from the heart-attacked

One maniac at a time we will take it back

You know time crawls on when you're waiting for the song to start

So dance alone to the beat of your heart

R: Hey young blood doesn't it feel

Like our time is running out

I'm going to change you like a remix

Then I'll raise you like a phoenix

You're wearing our vintage misery

No I think it looked a little better on me

I'm going to change you like a remix

Then I'll raise you like a phoenix

Em

2. Bring home the boys in scraps

Scrap metal the tanks

Em

Get hitched make a career out of robbing banks

Em

Because the world is just a teller and we are wearing black

Em

She broke our spirits with no impact

*: So we can take the world back...

R: Hey young blood doesn't it feel...

Em

Put on your war paint!

Em Em7

The war is won before it's begun

Release the doves

Surrender love (4x)

Hey

R: Hey young blood doesn't it feel...

...Then I'll raise you like a phoenix (2x)

Em

Put on your war paint!
