Glory And Gore

[ Verse 1 : ] C Am there’s a humming in the restless summer air Em G and we’re slipping off the course that we prepared C Am but in all chaos , there is calculation Em G dropping glasses just to hear them break C Am you’ve been drinking like the world was gonna end ( it didn’t ) Em G took a shiner from the fist of your best friend ( go figure ) C Am it’s clear that someone’s gotta go Em G we mean it but i promise we’re not mean [ pre - Chorus : ] C Am Em G and the cry goes out ( ah - ah ) C Am Em G they lose their minds for us ( ah - ah ) C Am Em G and how it plays out ( ah - ah ) C now we’re in the ring and we’re coming for blood [ Chorus : ] C ( oh - oh ) Am you could try and take us ( oh - oh ) C but we’re the gladiators ( oh - oh ) Am everyone a rager ( oh - oh ) but secretly they’re saviors C Am glory and gore go hand in hand C that’s why we’re making headlines ( oh - oh ) Am you could try and take us ( oh - oh ) but victory’s contagious [ Verse 2 : same as Verse 1 ] delicate in every way but one ( the swordplay ) god knows we like archaic kinds of fun ( the old way ) chance is the only game i play with , baby we let our battles choose us [ pre - Chorus : ] [ Chorus ] [ Bridge : a capella ] no - one round here’s good at keeping their eyes closed the sun’s starting to light up when we’re walking home tired little laughs , gold - lie promises , we’ll always win at this i don’t ever think about death it’s alright if you do , it’s fine we gladiate but i guess we’re really fighting ourselves roughing up our minds so we’re ready when the kill time comes wide awake in bed , words in my brain , "secretly you love this do you even wanna go free?" let me in the ring , i’ll show you what that big word means [ Chorus ]
