Fm E Fm E
Fm E[Chorus 1]
So I arrived, naked and cold
Fm E
A welcomed change from the abeyance of a ghost town catacomb
Fm E Fm
No need for counsel I appreciate the time I'm not alone
E
(Why don't you get my lawyer on the phone)
Fm E
There were days these child eyes
Fm E
Would overlook the ugliness and fantasize
Fm E
I found my heart for the first time and I awakened in me
Fm E
I left myself to navigate
C C Db C C Db
And oh I felt control
(It appears these sheep have quite an appetite)
Fm Gb[Verse 2]
Who is the crowd that peers through the cage

As we perform here upon the stage
Fm E Fm E
Fm E[Chorus 2]
As the boy became a man
Fm E
In came a calm sophistication I can hardly understand
Fm
So lost in ego
E Fm
Didn't notice when the time had a slipped away
E
(yeah, everybody's got a sob story)
Fm E
Jesus Christ, was born to die
Fm E
Leave it to man to levitate his own to idolize
Fm E
We're simply sociopaths with no communication baby
Fm E C C Db C C Db
I see your angle but we differ from our points of view
(So tell me, what's your cross to bear)

Tell me a lie in a beautiful way

I believe in answers just not today

Hope my wheels don't abandon me now

Seein' that I'm out here alone

I'm runnin' out of fight
G#m E/G#
And the wind speaks a comforting voice
A#/F#
Guiding me to her arms
D#7/G
Mother, I'm alright
G#m
It took the birth of sin to snake-rattle the mind
E/G#
Before a blow to the head
F#/A#
By the gavel of time to wake up
D#7/G
Won't you wake up
G#m
When did the walking apes decide that nuclear war
E/G#
Was the only solution for them keeping the score
F#/A#
Just wake up
D#7/G
Can't you wake up
(You do know this is just a simulation, don’t you)
