I am an arms dealer, 
                  E                      E
Fitting you with weapons in the form of words.
  Ami               Ami
And don't really care which side wins,
    E
As long as the room keeps singing.
                 E
That's just the business I'm in.

Ami                        Ami
This ain't a scene, it’s a god damn arms race.
E                           E
This ain't a scene, it’s a god damn arms race.

E                          E
I'm not a shoulder to cry on,
But, I digress.

I'm a leading man,
         F                           C
And the lies I weave are oh-so intricate.
            E
Oh-so intricate.

Oh-so intricate, yeah.

I wrote the gospel on giving up.
(You look pretty sinking,)
         E                             E
But the real bombshells have already sunk.
(Prima-donnas of the gutter.)
    Ami                               Ami
At night we're painting your trash gold while you sleep.
          E
Crashing not like hips or cars,
        E
No, more like p-p-p-parties.

Bandwagon's full,

All the boys who the dance floor didn't love,
                     E
And the girls who's lips couldn't move fast enough;
  E
Sing, until your lungs give out.

(Now you.)

This ain't a scene, it’s a god damn arms race.
(Wear out the groove.)
E                           E
This ain't a scene, it’s a god damn arms race.
(Sing out loud.)

This ain't a scene, it’s a god damn arms race.
