VERSE
B
So this is rejection
G#m
And it's bringing you down
E
He told you that he'd find work soon
F#
Then he stopped coming around
B
That was the summer of sweet nights
G#m
He used to take you for rides
E
But it all changed in the backseat
F#
He came inside
PRECHORUS
G#m F# E
Well he's seen enough to know
B G#m F# E B
He's old enough to know what's right from wrong
G#m F# E B F#
I know how hard it is to see things through
CHORUS
B E
Oh no did it rip you apart?
G#m
To be told we could be kings
E F#
When we were damned from the start
B E
Oh no did it rip you apart?
G#m F#
They told us we could be kings
E F# B
When we were damned, damned from the start
VERSE
You told him you loved him
But pushing come to show
There were no easy answers
Mixing money and blood
He was too young to know better
And you were unemployed
The sergeant promised a cake walk
But then he got deployed
PRECHORUS
I've seen enough, enough to know

It's not about which side you're on
I know how hard it is to keep it in
CHORUS
Oh no did it rip you apart?
To be told we could be kings
When we were damned from the start
I know that it rips you apart
They told us we could be kings
When we were damned, damned from the start
BRIDGE
B E
We've been living to the left of the dial
G#m E
Hoping drinks and denial will keep us here
B E
I'm not promising you some bright side
G#m
We're trying to break your stride
E
But you asked me, you asked me
B
He was gone in an instant
G#m
They say nobody was spared
E
Not gonna tell you he loved you
F#
Not gonna tell you he cared
PRECHORUS
Well I've seen enough, enough to know
Sometimes with the truth you gotta let it go
I know how hard it is to keep it in
CHORUS
I won't go and rip you apart
And tell you, you could be king
I don't wanna break your heart
I won't go and rip you apart
So open wide and you'll sing
E
Cause we're all damned
G#m F#
Open wide and you'll see
E F# B G#m F# E B 2x
Cause we're all damned, damned from the start
(B) G#m F# E B
We're damned from the start
