[Verse 1]
Bm
  You're too
            Em
ignorant to fail,
I can't look you
       Gsus2
in the eye
And I can't
     D
even tell
if you've
been telling
     Bm
me a lie
Every time
    Em
you start
it's like
the 4th day
     Gsus2
of July
Reckless like
 you're
making
D
rockets just
to blow
          Bm
up in the sky
Feeling like
     Em
it's chemical
All under my
Gsus2
skin, like
it's medical
D
Stuck on
repetitions
         Bm
that are only
hypothetical
Em
Acting like the
truth and your
 Gsus2
opinion are
identical
    D
And I can't
seem to let
it go
Bm
Everything
    C
was perfect

[Pre-Chorus]
G
Always made
  D
me nervous
        Bm
Knowing you
      C
would burn it
G
Just to watch
  D
it burn


[Chorus]
Bm        Em
  Cut the bridge
        Gsus2
we're on
it down, cut
 (Cut
it down,
     Bm
down, cut it,
 cut it down)
      Em
Going 'til it's
    Gsus2
gone      (Cut
  D
it down, cut
 it down,
     Bm
down, cut it,
cut it down)
C      G
Sabotage
     D
it all just
      Em
to watch  it fall
C            G
Cut the bridge
we're on (Cut
 D
it down, cut
it down,
    Bm
down, cut it,
cut it down)


[Verse 2]
I'm too gullible
   Em
to win, didn't
              Gsus2
have a way to choose
Grew up thinking
D
trying
meant you never
       Bm
really lose
Didn't put the
Em
powder in
the keg and
        Gsus2
when it blew
I was sitting
 in the
D
dynamite for
you to light
    Bm
the fuse
Ooh, looking
       Em
like a criminal
Sneaking in the
Gsus2
dark, you're
invisible
D
Hidden, you're
wrapped
          Bm
around my neck
just like a tentacle
Em
Acting like the
truth and your
 Gsus2
opinion are
 identical
    D
And I can't seem
to let it go
Bm
Everything
    C

[Bridge]
Em
Something in my
           G
head feels broken
        D
I'm the gas from a
            Bm
burner left open
        Em
I'm the tightrope
 held up
     G
by a clothes
pin
        D
Holding out
 but the
pressure keeps
Bm
growing
      Em
Wanna go to the
 light
            G
and not the shadow
        D
But the branch
 isn't
             Bm
shiny as the arrow
          Em
You don't ever
 find a way
         G
around a battle
         D
You will always
 choose
Bm
just to watch
   Em   G D Bm
it burn,     just to
        Em  G D Bm
watch it burn


[Chorus]
        Em
Cut the bridge
we're
  Gsus2
on      (Cut
  D
it down, cut
it down,
     Bm
down, cut it, cut
it down)
      Em
Going 'til it's
    Gsus2
gone      (Cut
  D
it down, cut
it down,
     Bm
down, cut it,
cut it down)
C      G
Sabotage  it
  D
all just
      Em
to watch
it fall
C            G
Cut the bridge
we're on
      D
(Cut it down,
cut it down,
    Bm
down, cut it,
 cut it down)

[Outro]
Em Gsus2
         Cut
  D
it down,
cut it down,
     Bm
down, cut it,
cut it down
