F#m D A
[Verse]
A
Pecking order's got you wasting time
A F#m D
Time at the border and you're way behind
A
Fill a honda with your property
A F#m D A F#m D A Am
I falling, I'm falling in line
A
If a violet should wither and die
A F#m D A
You're picking petals trying to decide my pain your gain
A F#m D A F#m D
I'm falling, I'm falling in line
[Chorus]

And your brain still bows to your racing heart

And your brain's devout to your racing heart
D E A
And your brain devours your racing heart

If you strain, it makes things hard

A F#m D A
Discrepancy you're pulled aside, don't mock the bureaucracy
A F#m D A F#m D A
I'm falling, I'm falling in line
A
Convey that you've lost your mind
A F#m D
The obligatory one-four-five

Clenched fist blacklist, zig-zags trunk sags
You're flagged for life

And your brain bows to your racing heart

And you wait for the wave
