Lyrics

Put on your war paint!

You are a 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 fi re to the sky.

Here, here comes, this (a) ris ing tide.

So come on,

put on your war paint!

Cross walks and crossed hearts and hope to dies, sil ver clouds with gray lin ings.

So we can take the world back from the (F#)heart at (Em)tacked; one ma ni ac at a time, we will (Em)take it back.

You know, time crawls on when you’re (D7)wait ing for (Cmaj7)the song to start, so dance a lone to the (CN.C.)beat of your heart.

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

I’m gon na change you like a re mix, then I’ll raise you like a phoe nix.

Wear ing our (Em)vin tage mis er (C)y; no, I think it (C#)looked a lit tle bet ter on (C)me.

I’m gon na change you like a re mix, then I’ll raise you like a phoe nix.

Bring home the boys and scrap scrap met tal the tanks, get hitched, make a ca reer out of rob bing banks, be cause the world is just a tell er and we are wear ing black masks.

“You broke our spir it,” says the note we pass.

we can take nix.

Put on your war paint!

The war is won the be fore it’s be gun.

Re lease the doves, the sur ren der love!

(Wave the flag, won the white fore it’s huh!

gun.

(Wave the the flag, the white ren huh!

love!

Hey,

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

I’m gon na change you like a re mix, then I’ll raise you like a phoe nix.

Wear ing our (Em)vin tage mis er (C)y; no, I think it (C#)looked a lit tle bet ter on (C)me.

I’m gon na change you like a re mix, then I’ll raise you like a phoe nix.

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