Verse 1
D 
  Never trust one that 
doesn't like fireworks 
Won't go swimming and 
 G 
sleeps on their back 
A 
  Couldn't trust one that 
doesn't trust anyone 
Scared of flying 
    G       D 
and heart attacks 
 
Verse 2
D 
  You gotta check that 
self preservation 
Or make it small 
          G 
enough to carry on 
A 
  I'm guessing it won't 
play out like Capra 
But it won't turn 
     G      D 
into Peckingpah 
 
Refrain
A 
You need to know 
      G 
we're not at war 
 
Chorus 1
D Bm       F#m       G 
  Let your guard down 
D Bm       F#m       G Gm 
  Let your guard down 
 
Verse 3
D 
  You know we've got 
a drive ahead of 
us All the way to 
 G           A 
another state I'm 
thinking that a 
change of scenery 
Might shine a light 
   G        D 
on what you hate 
 
Verse 4
D 
  So take the wicks and 
tie them together 
It's gotta be louder 
F#m  Em G   A 
than be-fore I think 
it's time to lose 
that body armor 
It won't protect 
you because 
      G      D 
we're not at war 
      G      D 
we're not at war 
      G      D  A 
we're not at war 
 
Chorus 2
D Bm       F#m       G 
  Let your guard down 
D Bm       F#m       G 
  Let your guard down 
 
Chorus 3
         D           Bm 
And jump in and blow up 
        F#m           G 
And get out and throw up 
        D              Bm 
And get burnt and mess up 
        F#m             G 
And get caught and fess up 
 
Chorus 4
         D           Bm 
And jump in and blow up 
        F#m           G 
And get out and throw up 
        D              Bm 
And get burnt and mess up 
        F#m             G 
And get caught and fess up
