           A#m           G#
The bitter taste, on my tongue
          D#                D#
Too many holes, the damage done
             A#m            G#
It's bittersweet, black on gold
          D#              D#
Talk is cheap, or so I'm told

           A#m
I'm gonna ride this bike to the edge of town
 G#
Roll to the bridge with my eyes shut
                  D#
And spit at the stars
                   D#
And scream in the dark
        A#m
There's nothing I can do to change it now
          G#
But if I cut myself open, baby
                      D#
You can read all my scars
              D#
Read all my scars

Chorus:
    F#      A#m
Hello, goodbye
           C#              G#
There's a million ways to die
           F#
Should've let me way back
          A#m
Should've let me way back
        C#      G#
By the roadside
    F#      A#m
Hello, goodbye
        C#                   G#
I was staring in the devil's eyes
           F#
Should've let me way back
          A#m
Should've let me way back
        C#      D#
By the roadside
               A#m
It's a bitter taste

         A#m         G#
Jagged stain on my skin
        D#        D#
Broken leg born again
       A#m         G#
Wide glide upside down
          D#           D#
Twisted frame my new crown

           A#m
I'm gonna ride this bike till the break of day
 G#
Rollin' through the garden like
                             D#
The fountain won't take it away
                D#
I'm not gonna change
           A#m
I'm gonna live so hard, these broken wings
      G#
Will lift me to the sun so
                       D#
I can burn up in the flames
            D#
Again and again

Chorus:
    F#      A#m
Hello, goodbye
           C#              G#
There's a million ways to die
           F#
Should've let me way back
          A#m                     C#      G#
Should've let me way back by the roadside
    F#      A#m
Hello, goodbye
        C#                   G#
I was staring in the devil's eyes
(Staring in the devil's eyes)
           F#
Should've let me way back
          A#m                     C#      D#
Should've let me way back by the roadside
               F#       A#m    C#   G#
It's a bitter taste ooh-oh ooh-oh
                F#      A#m    C#   G#
It's a jagged state ooh-oh ooh-oh
               F#       A#m    C#   G#
It's a bitter taste ooh-oh ooh-oh
               F#       A#m    C#   D#
It's a bitter taste ooh-oh ooh-oh

Chorus:
    F#      A#m
Hello, goodbye
           C#              G#
There's a million ways to die
           F#
Should've left me way back
           A#m                     C#      G#
Should've left me way back by the roadside
               A#m
It's a bitter taste
