Intro 
Am F E     

Verse 1       
          Am
If you're keeping score then you're bound to win
  F                   E
a birds eye view of a burning bridge
       Am
You've gone through ghost towns set on pause
   F                E
hoping the risk was worth a cause 
Am                             F  E
Oh, sound off the false alarm, oh oh

Pre Chorus
         Am          Em             C             G
But i'll make my own colleague from wood and from ivory
    F          E            Am
And reap the rewards of proximity
        Am       Em                C          G
I'll assemble my equal from what I lack and require
    F             E        Am        
And gather what's left unaccompanied

Chorus
Dm                 Am     C   G            Am
  It smells like disaster, it looks like a trap
Dm             Am      F               E
  So go by the wayside, and never look back

Verse 2
   Am                              
If you could spare me forty winks
      F                E
while you cry wolf and I count sheep
     Am
What good old ghosts in Kevlar vests
     F                E  
with backbones like a jellyfish
Am                            F  E
Oh, stomp on your land again, oh oh

Pre Chorus
         Am          Em             C             G
But i'll make my own colleague from wood and from ivory
    F          E            Am
And reap the rewards of proximity
        Am       Em                C          G
I'll assemble my equal from what I lack and require
    F             E        Am        
And gather what's left unaccompanied

Chorus
Dm                 Am     C   G            Am
  It smells like disaster, it looks like a trap

Dm             Am      F               E -->Keep strumming, listen for timing
  So go by the wayside, and never look back

Verse 3         
          Am
If you're keeping score then you're bound to win
  F                     E
a ring side seat at the main event
Am                            F  E
Oh, stomp on your land again, oh oh

Chorus/Outro
Dm                 Am     C   G            Am
  It smells like disaster, it looks like a trap
Dm             Am      C    G          Am
  So go by the wayside, and never look back
Dm                 Am     C   G            Am
  It smells like disaster, it looks like a trap
Dm             Am      F               E -->As above. End with Am 
  So go by the wayside, and never look back
