Young Shields


C there's a shield around us C it's invisible & soundless Am & we drink too much & fuck too soon Am smoke cigarettes in rented rooms F 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 you'd think we'd never seen a comb F sent a letter to Mom & Dad F C Mom & Dad the money's running out F got a letter from Mom & Dad F C they didn't send me anything C there's a shield around us C we are heady we are groundless Am & 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 we're compassless & nowhere bound F sent a letter to Mom & Dad F C Mom & Dad the money's running out F got a letter from Mom & Dad F C I swear to God they don't get me at all
