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?
