Dm A7 Between a broken nose and a fake smile A7 Dm Between piety and gunpowder Dm A7 Between fighting and fleeing the scene A7 Dm Between murder and diplomacy Dm A7 Between aggression and oblivion A7 Dm Between brutal and realistically well behaved Dm A7 Between screaming and pulling in the reins A7 Between tiptoeing and ambling Dm A7 Dm What am I to do with all this fire (I'd like to hit you but I'd never hit you) Dm A7 Dm Would you stay with me in this red space (I'd like to slap you but I'd never slap you) Chorus: F Between violence and silently seething A# F Between my fist and my pollyanna flower F Between 'fuck you' to your face and it's alright A# Between war and denial (same chords as in the 1st verse) Between flying vases and secretly weeping Between loose cannons and ever downplaying Between bruises and rudely differing Between bursting and boiling What am I to do with all this burning (I'd like to hurt you but I'd never hurt you) Do I overwhelm you in this place (I'd like to kill you but I'd never kill you) Chorus Dm A7 Dm What am I to do with all this fire Dm A7 Dm Can you understand me in this place?
