(Intro) Em...Dm-Bm-C... B-G-Am...Em-G-F-Em... Em C Am B (6x) Em C Am B Em C Am Am Em Am Em Am Em Am So I arrived, naked and cold Em A welcomed change from the abeyance Am of a ghost town catacomb Em No need for counsel Am I appreciate the time Em I'm not alone Am (Why don't you get my lawyer on the phone) Em There were days Am these child eyes Em Would overlook Am the ugliness and fantasize Em I found my heart Am for the first time and I awakened in me Em Am I left myself to navigate B B.. -C C-B B.. -C C-B And oh I felt control (Chorus) Em Who is the crowd F that peers through the cage Dm B As we perform here.. upon the stage (Intro) Em Am Em Am Em Am As the boy.. became a man Em In came a calm sophistication Am I can hardly understand Em So lost in ego Am Didn't notice when the time Em had a slipped away Am (yeah, everybody's got a sob story) Em Am Jesus Christ.. was born to die Em Leave it to man to levitate Am his own to idolize Em We're simply sociopaths Am with no communication baby Em I see your angle Am but we differ from our points B.. -C C-B B.. -C C-B of view (Chorus) Em Who is the crowd F that peers through the cage Dm B As we perform here.. upon the stage Em F Tell me a lie.. in a beautiful way Dm B I believe in answers.. just not today (Interlude) Em F Dm B Em F Dm B.. -C C-B B.. -C C Em D G Am G D Em D G Am G D Em D G Am G D Gm Am F D Gm Am F D Gm Am Hope my wheels don't abandon me now F Seein' that I'm out here alone D I'm runnin' out of fight Gm Am And the wind speaks a comforting voice F Guiding me to her arms D Mother, I'm alright Gm It took the birth of sin to snake-rattle the mind Am Before a blow to the head F By the gavel of time to wake up D Won't you.. wake up.. Gm When did the walking apes decide that nuclear war Am Was the only solution for them keeping the score F Just wake up.. D Can't you wake up..
