there's a shield around us

it's invisible & soundless

smoke cigarettes in rented rooms

we quit our jobs & shoot the moon
G                                                     CFC
& cut our wrists & sleep til noon
C
there's a shield around us
C
we're invincible & boundless
Am
& we're on the run from I don't know
Am
we're Patty Hearst & Squeaky Fromme
F
asleep on subways far from home
G                                                            CFC

they didn't send me anything                 

C
there's a shield around us

& we burn our friends & kill their names
Am
build insecure & petty fames
F
& tattoo things that we believe
G                                                                  CFC
stars & skulls & hearts in half-sleeves
C
there's a shield around us
C
tell me how is it you've found us
Am
cause we hide our tracks & watch the ground
Am
our footfalls they don't make a sound
F
we've cursed the names of our hometowns
G                                                              CFC
