Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][Am][Am][F]
[C][C][F][C][C]

[Verse 1]
Cause I [Am]know that time
has numbered my days
And I'll go along with [F]everything you
[C]say[C][F][C][C]
But I'll [Am]ride home laughing, look at me now
That the walls of my town,
they [F]come crumbling
[C]down[C][F][C][C]
And my [Am]ears hear the call of my unborn sons
And I know their choices [F]colour all I've
[C]done[C][F][C][C]
But I'll [Am]explain it all to the watchman's son
I ain't ever lived a year [F]better spent in
[C]love[C][F][C][C]

[Chorus 1]
'Cause I'll [F]know my [Em]weakness, [Am]know my [C]voice
And [F]I'll be[G]lieve in [Am]grace and [C]choice[G]
And I [F]know per[Em]haps my [Am]heart is [C]farce
But [F]I'll be [G]born with[Am]out a m[C]ask[G]
[C][C][F][C][C]

[Verse 2]
Like the [Am]city that nurtured my greed
and my pride I stretched my arms [F]into the
[C]sky[C][F][C][C]
I cry [Am]Babel! Babel! Look at me now
Then the walls of my town,
they [F]come crumbling
[C]down[C][F][C][C]
You ask [Am]where will we stand
in the winds that will howl
As all we see will [F]slip into the
[C]cloud[C][F][C][C]
So come [Am]down from your mountain
and stand where we've been
You know our breath is [F]weak and our body
[C]thin[C][F][C][C]

[Bridge 1]
[Em]Press my nose [F]up,
to the [C]glass around your heart
[Em]I should've know[F]n
I was [C]weaker from the start
[Em]You'll build your wall[F]s
and I will [Am]play my [G]bloody [F]part
To tear, [Em]tear [Dm]them [C]down
Well I'm gonna [Am]tear, [F]tear them [C]down

[Chorus 2]
'Cause I [F]know my [Em]weakness, [Am]know my [C]voice
And [F]I'll be[G]lieve in [Am]grace and [C]choice[G]
And I [F]know per[Em]haps my [Am]heart is [C]farce
But [F]I'll be [G]born with[Am]out a m[C]ask[G]
