Verse 1:
A             G
Bring out the pictures
F               C
A drink and the pill
A           G
Sharpen the scissors
F            C
See how they feel
A           G
Cut out the stitches
F           C
So it never heals
    A           G         F         *lick*  
It's time to go play in a minefield

A  G  F  C  

Verse 2:
Strike a few matches
Laugh at the fire
Burn a few edges
Put 'em back in the pile
Swing from the pain
That I don't wanna kill
    A           G         F         C
It's time to go play in a minefield

A  G  F  C
Whoo… ooo…

Chorus:
F            F
Dance around dance around
C             G
Eyes couldn't close
F           F
I can't see nothing else
C       C
Till it explodes
A            G
Foot touches ground
F           C
Ash touches steel
    A           G         F         C
It's time to go play in a minefield

A  G  F  C
Whoo… ooo…

Verse 3:         
Put on that sweater
Made out of thorns
Fits like a noose but it's comfortably warm
Scratch where it itches 
Till I get my fill
It's time to go play in a minefield

Repeat Chorus

A  G  F  C   x2
Whoo… ooo…

A            G
Gonna do for myself
F                C
What nobody else will
    A           G         F         C
It's time to go play in a minefield
