C*
Bad boys and painkillers
C*
Together like peas in a pod
F
Look at me just sticking around
F
The oxygen draining through my blood
C*
Body crunched up and tight
C*
Pounding and kicking me blind
F
Failing my body design
F
Digging trenches, looking for mines
Bb F
CHORUS:
Dm Am G
(Bad boys and) Looking for a new way out
C G Am
(Painkillers) Swollen hands looking for love
Dm Am G
(Bad boys and) Safe from harm is all I ask
C G Am
(Painkillers)
C*
Bad boys and painkillers
C*
Drags me down so I’m miserable
F
Buy some time, I’m coming unstuck
F
Leave me here, I’ll crawl my way back
C*
Cold as statues with such grace
C*
My head imprinted with your face
F
I long for longing in this place
F
It’s no so hard with some patience
Bb F
CHORUS:
Dm Am G
(Bad boys and) Shaking like there’s no way out
C G Am
(Painkillers) Swollen hands looking for love
Dm Am G
(Bad boys and) Safe from harm is all I ask
C G Am
(Painkillers)
F
Never complain or explain
G
Never felt lucky or shame
F
Microclimates and acid baths
G
Epic human achievement at last
CHORUS:
Dm Am G
(Bad boys and) Still shaking still shaking
C G Am
(Painkillers) Swollen hands looking for love
Dm Am G
(Bad boys and) Safe from harm is all I ask
C G Am
(Painkillers)
