I'm  stressed but you're freestyle

I  must be made of concrete
I  sign my name across your chest

I  trot them out for the relatives
Company  tried and tested
I  use the ones that I love the best

 I can't remember your name
 I'm growing introverted
 You touch my hand and it's not the same
 Guitar I: Plays Chords

This  was so unexpected
I  never thought I'd get caught
Play  boomerang with your demons
Shoot  to kill and you'll pop  them off

 A hammering in my head don't stop
 From the bullet train
 From Tokyo to Los Angeles
 I'm leaving you behind
 A flash in the pan
 A storm in a teacup
 A needle in a haystack
 A prize for the winning
 A dead for the raising
 A catch for the chasing
 A jewel for the choosing
 A man for the making in this blistering heat
 Guitar I: Plam Muted Rappid Strumming
 Sweat it all out
 Sweat it all out
 With your bedroom eyes and your baby pouts
 Sweat it all out
 In our electric storms and our shifting sands
 Our candy jars and our sticky hands
 Sweat it all out
 Don't forget what I wrote you then
 And don't forget what I told you then
 And don't forget I that meant to win
 And don't forget your ventolin
 So a hammering in my head don't stop
 In the bullet train from Tokyo to Los Angeles.

A hammering in my head don't stop
From the bullet train
From Tokyo to Los Angeles
I'm leaving you behind
A flash in the pan
A storm in a teacup
A needle in a haystack
A prize for the winning
A dead for the raising
A catch for the chasing
A jewel for the choosing
A man for the making in this blistering heat

Guitar I: Plam Muted Rappid Strumming
Sweat it all out
Sweat it all out
With your bedroom eyes and your baby pouts
Sweat it all out
In our electric storms and our shifting sands
Our candy jars and our sticky hands

Sweat it all out [6x]

Don't forget what I wrote you then
And don't forget what I told you then
And don't forget I that meant to win
And don't forget your ventolin
So a hammering in my head don't stop
In the bullet train from Tokyo to Los Angeles.
