CAPO: 2

on verse: at the end of each chord, pluck strings 2,1,2,3 and move on
on intro: 0>2 is a fast up and down break

verse intro bridge chorus


of course we wear the branded a, we're nailed to a t
you can only persuade me to do what i already want to

so many memories of you under my sheets
and i fight with a melee of repression
uncomfortable rising to the surface to despising
anxiety causes a breakthrough of impression

you can't make me compromise anymore
you can't trap and suffocate me anymore
stop guessing, stop wondering anymore
your halo will someday dissolve

i always suspected we were never exclusive
and i trusted as far as you'd let me
you separated in july and let me in you
no open legs are worth an execution

you can't make me compromise anymore
you can't trap and suffocate me anymore
stop guessing, stop wondering anymore
your halo will someday dissolve

i'll miss you zion
your heart beats true

of course we wear the branded a, we're nailed to a t
you can only persuade me to do what i already want to do

i keep playing the same movie over and over in mind
watching you gasp for breath and fall back motionless and pale
while the doctor took what i had made out of you
it would have been a great day if it wasn't only 6 weeks old

you can't make me compromise anymore
you can't trap and suffocate me anymore
stop guessing, stop wondering anymore
your halo will someday dissolve

i'll miss you zion
your heart beats true
