A                       Bm
She's reaching for her backpack
F#m         D
Puts out a cigarette and gets on the bus
A                  Bm
She's sittin' on a secret
F#m                  D
She didn't ask for, no girl ever did

But there's a whisper in her heartbeat
She can hear it just enough to keep her alive
When she's breathing in the blowback
There's nothing you can offer she ain't already

  E
tried

Chorus:
            A       D           E
But she's breathing in the blowback
 A                     D                   E
Born into poor white trash and always typecast
     F#m                    D
But she's gonna break out, boy, you'd better know that
E
It's just a matter of time
She fights back
    D
(Breathing in again)
  E
Breathing in the blowback

She is sucking on a Tic-Tac
A good man is a mystery, she's looking for clues
Woah, you'd better check that, buddy
'Cause the blacktop's burning up what's left of the fuse
And she knows where she comes from
Doesn't need you dragging her all through it again
It's like breathing in the blowback
It's a hijack, now how much are you willing

to spend?

Chorus

F#m        A           D  B
(Breathing in the blowback)
F#m
Pinwheels spinning,
 A                      D  B
roller skates and red flags
F#m        A           D   B
(Breathing in the blowback)
F#m
She's gonna break out,
 A                       D B
boy, you'd better know that

D                   E
Can you cast out a demon?
                     F#m A
Can you wrangle the wind?
D                          E
Will you stay when she's breathing
the blowback again?
