Young Shields

G#
There's a shield around us

It's invisible and soundless
       B
And we drink too much and fuck too soon

Smoke cigarettes in rented rooms
   C#m
We quit our jobs and shoot the moon
    E                                   G#
And cut our wrists and sleep til noon


[Verse 2]
G#
There's a shield around us

We're invincible and boundless
          B
And we're on the run from I don't know

We're Patty Hearst and Squeaky Fromme
  C#m
Asleep on subways far from home
      E                              G#
You'd think we'd never seen a comb


[Chorus]
E
Sent a letter to Mom and Dad
                                     G#
Mom and Dad, the money's running out
E
Got a letter from Mom and Dad
                             G#
They didn't send me anything


[Verse 3]
G#
There's a shield around us

We are heady we are groundless
       B
And we burn our friends and kill their names

Build insecure and petty fames
    C#m
And tattoo things that we believe
E                                           G#
Stars and skulls and hearts in half-sleeves


[Verse 4]
G#
There's a shield around us

Tell me, how is it you've found us
         B
Cause we hide our tracks and watch the ground

Our footfalls they don't make a sound
      C#m
We've cursed the names of our hometowns
      E                             G#
We're compassless and nowhere bound


[Chorus]
E
Sent a letter to Mom & Dad
                                     G#
Mom and Dad, the money's running out
E
Got a letter from Mom and Dad
                                        G#
I swear to God they don't get me at all


[Outro]
G#
