Intro C Am Verse C No bother, climb to it, and call out canary Am Don't worry, just grab it, it's something, abuse it C My vision, a forest, a lot here to carry Am Slide over and bite it, the apple and berry C The volume and the riot, the smell of the lions Am The sunsets behind me, the bullets start flying Pre-Chorus C/E F C Flying a kite in a world of ruin Am F G Starting to dance when the earth is caving in We're ready to begin Chorus C/E F C It's alright, a bit scathed, a bit lost I've been played, I ain't that clever Am F A city boy that can never say never G I got the life but that girl bites like a wolf C Am Verse C Inertia, take cover, a cannon, you ready? Am The image, the session, a poet is sleeping C The courier, the pilot, antennas, and sirens Am That college, like thieves that can eat with the wolfpack Pre-Chorus C/E F C Flying a kite in a world of ruin Am F G Starting to dance when the earth is caving in C/E F C Setting a sun and the hearts are burning Am F G Leaving the nest to the back of a thousand winds We're ready to begin Chorus C/E F C It's alright, a bit scathed, a bit lost I've been played, I ain't that clever Am F A city boy that can never say never G I got the life but that girl bites like a wolf C/E F C It's on me, it's only a small heart on one sleeve Academy killer Am F G Off with his head in the make believe game of fools That girl bites like a wolf Inerlude C Dm Am G C Dm Am Are you, you ready? I'm waiting to begin C Dm Am G C Dm Am C (hold) Are you, you ready? I'm waiting to begin Chorus x2 C/E F C It's alright, a bit scathed, a bit lost I've been played, I ain't that clever Am F A city boy that can never say never G I got the life but that girl bites like a wolf C/E F C It's on me, it's only a small heart on one sleeve Academy killer Am F G Off with his head in the make believe game of fools That girl bites like a wolf End on C
