E            A         E
There's no savin' anything
          G#m                          E
Now we're swallowin' the shine of the sun
             A         E
There's no savin' anything
        G#m
How we swallow the sun

    E               A 
But I won't be no runaway
      E       G#m
Cause I won't run
   E              A 
No I won't be no runaway
E                          G#m
What makes you think I’m enjoyin'
                 C#m
being led to the flood

Chorus:
         A                     E
We got another thing comin' undone
          B
And it's taking us over
C#m                  A
We don't bleed when we don't fight
     E
Go ahead go ahead
           B
Throw your arms in the air tonight
C#m                  A
We don't bleed when we don't fight
     E
Go ahead go ahead
            B
Lose our shirts in the fire tonight
C#m                         A
What makes you think I'm enjoying being led
         E
to the flood
       B                       E
We got another thing comin' undone

    E              A 
But I won't be no runaway
      E       G#m
Cause I won't run
   E              A 
No I won't be no runaway
      E       G#m
Cause I won't run
   E              A 
No I won't be no runaway
E
What makes you think
    G#m                       C#m
I’m enjoyin' being led to the flood

Chorus:
We don't bleed, when we don't fight
Go ahead, go ahead
Throw your arms in the air tonight
We don't bleed, when we don't fight
Go ahead, go ahead
Lose our shirts in the fire tonight
What makes you think
I'm enjoyin' bein' led to the flood?
We got another thing comin' undone
We got another thing comin' undone
And it's takin' forever

I'll go bravin' everything
With you swallowin' the shine of the summer
I'll go bravin' everything
Through the shine of the sun

But I won't be no runaway
'Cause I won't run
No, I won't be no runaway
'Cause I won't run
No, I won't be no runaway
What makes you think
I'm enjoyin' bein' led to the flood?
We got another thing comin' undone
And it's takin' us over

Chorus:
We don't bleed, when we don't fight
Go ahead, go ahead
Throw your arms in the air tonight
We don't bleed, when we don't fight
Go ahead, go ahead
Lose our shirts in the fire tonight
What makes you think
I'm enjoyin' bein' led to the flood?
We got another thing comin' undone
We got another thing comin' undone
And it's takin' us over

And it's takin' forever
