[Intro 1]
[G][D][C][D][G][D][C][D][G][D][C][D][G][D][C][D]

[Verse 1]
Cast your [G]eyes into the dis[D]tance[C][D]
Try [G]to focus [D]on it all[C][D]
Find a [G]spirit of res[D]istance[C][D]
Instead [G]of pride before [D]the fall[C][D]
[Em]Forge some [C]opposition
From [Em]disparate [C]strands
[D]It ain't the pre[G]ttiest positio[D]n[C]
As a cen[D]tury ends
[G][D]

[Verse 2]
[C]Uns[D]table[G] situation[D][C][D]
[G]Faces made of [D]wax[C][D]
[G]Streams of melting [D]glass[C][D]
[G]Sheets of butchered [D]facts[C][D]
[Em]The roar [C]of the machine
[Bm]Hooded hearts and jeweled [B]hands
[C]An [D]d ang[G]er spilling o[D]ut like gasoline
[Eb]As a century[F] ends[G]

[Verse 3]
[D]Everything [A]I seen,
Everything [C]that I [G]heard,
[D]Ain't even [A]the tip of the [C]iceberg[G]
[Eb]Fire down memory [F]lane
[C]So pass me my rose tinted glasses [D]again
[Em]

[Interlude 1]
[C][Em][C][D][G][D][C][D]

[Verse 4]
[G]Through a fog of contra[D]diction[C][D]
Out to [G]the lake [D]of tears[C][D]
See soci[G]ety admiring its
[D]own reflection[C][D]
Chase a light [G]that shines [D]an
[C]d disappears[D]
[Em]Careful what you [C]say
'cause [Em]reality [C]offends
[D]Just sit bac[G]k and let your sou[D]l decay
[C]As a centur[D]y ends

[Interlude 2]
[G][D][C][D][G][D]
[C][D][G][D][C][D][G][D][C][D]

[Verse 5]
And it's [G]easy to get [D]weary[C][D]
As [G]you fight to get it [D]done[C][D]
'Gainst [G]a popular the[D]ory[C][D]
That it's [G]over
'Fore it's [D]even be[C]gun[D]
Strain [Em]the limit of [C]compassion
Tend [Bm]a wound that never
[B]mends[C][D]
And hon[G]esty's still out [D]of fashion[Eb]
[F]As [G]a c[Eb]entu[F]ry e[G]nd[Eb]s[F][G][Eb][F]
