Lyrics

Put on your war paint.

You are a (CN.C.)brick tied to me that’s drag ging me down.

Strike a match and I’ll burn you to the ground.

We are the jack o’ lan terns in Ju ly, set ting fire to the sky.

Here, here comes this ris ing tide.

So come on.

Put on your war paint.

Cross walks and crossed hearts and hope to dies.

Sil ver clouds with grey lin ing.

So we can take the world back from a heart at tack.

One ma ni ac at a time we will take it back.

You know time crawls on when you’re wait ing for the song to start.

So dance a lone to the (D)beat of (CN.C.)your heart.

Hey, young (Em)blood, does n’t it (Cmaj7)feel like our (C#m7)time is run ning out?

Bring home the boys and scrap, scrap me tal the tanks.

Get hitched, make a ca reer out of rob bing banks.
