[Intro 1]
[G]
[Em][G][Em]
[G][Em][G][Em][G]
This song's [Em]makeup

[Verse 1]
made second [G]rate
Cosmet[Em]ic music,
[G]powderpuff
Pop tunes, [Em]false rhymes,
all light[C]weight [G]bluff
Second-hand ideas, ideas,
[Em]no soul, no hate[G]
Wasn't meant [Em]to be built on
compla[G]cency
The nightmares ride [Em]away when you
refuse [G]to [Em]play
[D][G][D][Em][G]

[Verse 2]
Oh, go and [D]read a [Em]book
It's so much [G]more wort while
Being a song-[D]smith crook
[Em]crook
Study [G]death in style
You [Em]study death [G]in [Em]style
[G]

[Interlude 1]
[Em][G]
[Em][G]
This [Em]language

[Verse 3]
used is all [G]worn out
A walking [Em]corpse that
won't [G]play dead
Disease dragged [Em]on from bed to[G] bed
Pay for [Em]your twist,
paid for [G]your shout
Wasn't meant [Em]to be built
on compla[G]cency
Open your eyes [Em]and see that lie is
not [G]for [Em]me
[G][D][Em][G]

[Verse 4]
Raise a rope, a [Em]knife, cutting out the [G]lie
Don't want [D]to de[Em]cay,
take the short cut [G]way
Oh, go and [D]read [Em]a book
It's so much more [G]wort while
Being a song-[D]smith crook
[Em]crook
Study death [D]in [G]style[Em]
Study death in style
[G][Em]

[Verse 5]
[G]Heard you call[Em]ing through
the [G]drum[Em]beat
[G]Answer with stick[Em]s and bones
[G]Scream and [D]shout an[Em]d
dance around the campfire
[G]You can hear the [D]question,
[Em]can you feel the r[G]eply?

[Verse 6]
[G]Heard you call[Em]ing through
the [G]drumbeat
Heard [Em]you calling through
the [G]drumbeat
Can you hear the [Em]question,
feel the [G]reply?
Can you hear the [Em]question,
feel [G]the reply?[Em]
Hymn from a [G]village
[Em]The hymn from [G]a village
[Em]One, [G]two, [Em]three
