G  D  A  Bm

       G         D        A        D
We got mouths to feed and boots to fill
G         D         A                Bm
Pills for sleep and dreams of dollar bills
       G         D             A        D  
And we clean our guns while we turn our cheeks
           G          D          A       Bm
We’re like angels and demons and dogs in heat
        G          D                A        Bm
So baby raise your glass, but don’t cut your teeth
               G           D       A            D  
Just show your sweet tooth grin to everyone you meet


Chorus:
        G           D                A        D
Tell me what’s this world that we’re clinging to
     G       D       A        D
It’s all for one but none for two
G           D           A        Bm
Pierce your skin with a heart tattoo
            G           D                A        D
And tell me what’s this world that we’re clinging to



I see floods every Spring and water for sale
All the drunks in the tank trying to throw their bail
You know I lost an old friend like a thief in the night
These days done took the light out of her eyes
We got to change our ways every New Years’ Day
But give me one last midnight before I gotta pay

Chorus

I see highway miles gonna pave the way
Billboards digging their roots in my grave
We've got debts to pay but all our cards are drawn
They’ll be paying our dues long after we’re gone



So tell me what’s this world that we’re clinging to
It’s all for one but none for two
Pierce your skin with a heart tattoo
And tell me what’s this world that we’re clinging to

It’s all for one but none for two
Pierce your skin with a heart tattoo
And tell me what’s this world that we’re clinging to
Tell me what’s this world that we’re clinging to
What's this world that we're clinging to
