A D
Yeah you come and you go like a breeze just as fast as you're able
A D
And the last thing that you would ever do is put your cards on the table
A D
The glow of the neon shows you're only spinning a fable
G D
I know what you are... I know what you are
A D
Why does everywhere that you end up feel so crowded?
A D
Used to think you could find peace but you're starting to doubt it
A D
Tell me, if no one ever hears what you say then why don't you shout it?
G D
I know what you are... I know what you are
G
and it's scaring me to death
D G
I heard you speak aloud your secret shibboleth
A G
All of the wisdom of the ancients won't change what's inside of you
A G
You can close your eyes but that's not gonna take away the view
D
I know what you are

Looking back across the years through a million unshed tears

Oh the price that I have paid for all the love I never made

Yes the wine's delicious, but I'm needing something stronger

Main verse:
G - G - D - D
The Golden Age of happiness behind us
Now we see the vultures on the wing
Ancient songs of hope always remind us
So we all tune in to hear our leaders sing
A D
And we know the words to sing because they told us
A D
But the generals and the billionaires all know
A D
We'll be buried under the dead land they sold us
F C
And there's always something wrong
G
still we sing along
D
How could we all be so wrong?
Still we sing along
[Repeat verse & chorus sections]
It's a poison communion we're all receiving
While the families of the victims write the books
There might just be one word that's worth believing
When the people give their leaders wicked looks

Verse riff:

If you can't break the rules, don't play the game
The silence that you crave will come around too often
When you're the only one whose left to blame
You gather up the baggage for your coffin
G6 Amaj9 G6 F#7sus4
And in the bright lights of the restaurant where nothing seems to fade
G6 Amaj9 G6 F#7sus4
You can feel the crushing weight of all the promises you made that can't be true
Verse riff:
Bm Bm A - Bm Bm A
The stranger on the highway seems to show
Desire to move on in one direction
Trouble is you've got no place to go
Still somehow you know there's a connection
G6 Amaj9 G6 F#7sus4
And in the headlights of the passing cars the fear all fades away
G6 Amaj9 G6 F#7sus4
An Eastern glow directs you to the coming of the day that's meant for you

You're bound for it...

Intro: E D A A
E D A
So what's left to say? By now all words have been spoken
E D A
What is there to do? Everything has already been done
E D A
Who should I fight? Everyone's been defeated
E D A
What should I sing? By now it's already been sung.
E D A
Seems no matter how hard I try, I can't belong
E D A
These molds that I try to break, they are too strong
E D A
Life cannot always be wine, women and song
E D A
Seems no matter how hard I try I can't belong
E D
Make your mistakes, but steer clear of the brakes
C A
Godspeed to another world
E D
A search on the wing is a dangerous thing
C A
If you shift your focus to another world
E D
Take heed, watch what you seek
C A
Everything's here, in other words
E D A
Who should I love? Is there only one answer?
E D A
Where is there to go, if by now we've been everywhere?
E D A
Always looking to get out, looking to get in and I'm caught between one or the other
E D A
Falling to pieces, all I believe in swirling, curling down the drain
E D A
Seems no matter how hard I try, I'm always wrong
E D A
These molds that I try to break, they are too strong
E D
Make your mistakes, but steer clear of the brakes
C A
Godspeed to another world
E D
A search on the wing is a dangerous thing

If you shift your focus to another world

Take heed, watch what you seek
