Intro:

Am E Am E

Verse 1:
Am    E
Lungs love holes
 Am        E
Escaping words you know
Am         E
Smoke gets in your eyes
    Am       E
Still blowing in the wind
    C#m       F#    A
And we can't beat this cancer, can we?
    E
Answer me

Chorus:
B
Kids don't know shit
 A               E
Everything they've learned is wrong
B                A           E
Boys in the neighborhood are fit, they fight all night long
B            A               E
Kids don't know it, but everything they've touched is gone
   B
Cause no one understands
     A                E
You can't stand under something that's all wrong

Verse 2:
Am             E
  When you're facing the day
Am            E
  When you're wasting away
G#m       A          G#m
  And you get lighter than your brain
       A       C#m
And it grows tighter everyday

Am                C#m E
Love's lungs hold air to a blow a hole
Am
Cold chest grows, fills up with smoke
       E     C#m
At least your head is warm
    F#       A
Still forming ways to warm the baby, the baby's bed

Instrumental:

Chorus:
   B
Cause kids don't know shit
 A               E
Everything they've learned is wrong
    B             A
The girls on the block are listening in
           E
They sing, 'let's get strong'
B            A             E
Kids don't know it, but everything they've got is gone
  B
We used it for some fuel and food
     A                E
Then the rats took it from us and made a bomb

Instrumental:
C#m B C#m E

Verse 3:
Am     E
Words love holes
     Am        E
Getting lost in lies we know

Still believing branches weaving forests
  A
Leaving helps them grow

Chorus:
B
Kids don't know shit
 A             E
Everything we learned was wrong
B
Deep down we knew it
   A         E
We always knew it all along
B            A              E
Nebular splendor, I'll remember those constellations forever
 B             A
A cursory person turns to me and says
           E
'well, you won't live forever'
