The Phoenix

Put on your war paint!

You are a brick tied to me that's dragging me down.

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

We are the jackolanterns in July,

setting fire to the sky.

Here, here comes, this (a) rising tide.

So come on,

put on your war paint!

Cross walks and crossed hearts and hopetodies,

silver clouds with gray linings.

So we can take the world back from the (F#m7)(Em)heartattacked;

one maniac at a time, we will take it back.

You know, time crawls on when you're (D7)waiting for (Cmaj7)the song to start,

so dance alone to the beat of your heart.

Hey, young (Em)blood, doesn't it (C)feel like our (C#m7)time is running (C)out?

I'm gonna change you like a remix,

then I'll raise you like a phoenix.

Wearing our (Em)vintage (C)misery;

no, I think it (C#m7)looked a little better on (C)me.

I'm gonna change you like a remix,

then I'll raise you like a phoenix.

(C)Bring home the boys and scrap scrap mettal the tanks,

get hitched, make a career out of robbing banks,

because the world is just a teller and we are wearing black masks.

"You broke our spirit," says the note we pass.

we can take nix.

Put on your war paint!

The war is won the before it's begun.

Release the doves,

the surren der love!

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

gun. (Wave the the flag,

the white ren huh!

love! the surren der love!

Hey, young (Em)blood, doesn't it (C)feel like our (C#m7)time is running (C)out?
