[Am][G][Am][G][Am][G][Am]

[Verse 1]
[Am]I have
always been [G]here
And I'll always [Am]be there
I can honestly tell you
[G]That I really don't car[Am]e
If all the babies [G]are broken
And the old folk[Am]s are blind
There's a [G]hole in my [D]heart
[Dm]But I know you don't [Am]mind
If I laugh at [G]the cripples
And I cry for [Am]the clowns
And I welcome the madness
[G]That I see coming dow[Am]n
And I have no [G]opinions
So I feel no re[Am]morse
I can [G]see the Black [D]Knight
Riding [Dm]up on h[Am]is horse
And there's fire in his [G]nostrils
And blood in his [Am]eyes
And he's looking at you, [G]kid
As he races on [Am]by
So watch out for his hooves
[G]They're going to kill you for[Am] sure
He's got some [G]kind of sick[D]ness
That [Dm]no man ca[Am]n cure
And his breath it will burn [G]you
And put out your [Am]eyes
He'll tear out your tongues
[G]So you can't even cry[Am]
That your body is [G]broken
And your spirit is [Am]dead
And you [G]hope against [D]hope
That it's a [Dm]bad dream [Am]you had
About a meeting with [G]Elvis
At the back of the [Am]store
You're both shoveling plastic [G]ware
Right out of [Am]the door
And the men who control [G]you
Keep yelling [Am]for more, more, more, more
You [G]pay all [D]your taxes
But you [Dm]don't know [Am]what for
'Cause nothing seems to get [G]better
Things seem to get [Am]worse
We're all living [G]in danger
From a politician's [Am]curse
All promises have been [G]broken
All lips have been [Am]read
Well the [G]mouth has [D]spoken
But [F]nothing's been [Am]said
The dream has been [G]shattered
The flags have been [Am]burned
You better make up your minds
[G]From whatever you've lea[Am]rned
About your family [G]values
And the way they've [Am]been scorned
Some [G]babies have [Am]been [D]battered
Way be[Dm]fore [F]they've [Am]been born
Some call me [G]a liar
Some call me [Am]a thief
But the way that I look [G]at things
I can't get no [Am]relief
So I went to [G]a meeting
Spoke out [Am]of fear
They said [G]Thank you for [Am]sharing
[F#m]Now why ar[F]e you he[Am]re?
I said everything's [G]shaking
Including myself
[Am]I keep all my feelings
[G]High up on a s[Am]helf
And I can't seem to reach [G]them
But I know they [Am]were there
I'm trapped in [G]this vacuum
[D]And I'm gas[Dm]ping for[Am] air
Some people get [G]better
Some people just [Am]fall
Some people rise [G]above it
Or so I've been [Am]told
So I started [G]to leave
I was searching [Am]for more
They caught a [G]hold of my sleeve
[D]But I s[Dm]lipped through the[Am] door
I ran back to the [G]office
With my back to [Am]the wall
When I came to my [G]senses
I had no one [Am]to call
So I called up [G]the doctor
He told me to [Am]lie
He said Get out [G]of [D]this nightmare
Or you [Am]surely [Dm]will [Am]die[G][Am][G]
[Am][G][Am][G][D][Am][Dm][Am]
So I forced myself to wake [G]up
And opened my [Am]eyes
But the man in [G]the mirror
Was there in dis[Am]guise
He was playing [G]his part
Living in a [Am]trance
[G]Sentenced to be a [D]witness
'Cause he [Am]had no defense
The anesthetic [G]is wearing thin
And you're starting [Am]to sweat
And you finally realize
[G]That it ain't over yet[Am]
'cause the way you've
[G]been feeling
They must have hit [Am]a nerve
I know it's not [G]what [D]you want
But it's what [Dm]you [Am]deserve
The operation is [G]over
Listen to me [Am]please
I'm begging [G]forgiveness
Down on my [Am]knees
Coming back [G]to consciousness
I was out of my [Am]head
And the [G]dream is [D]over
I'm [F]back [Am]in my bed
I have always [G]been here
And I'll always [Am]be there
I can honestly tell you
[G]That I really do car[Am]e
I gotta tell you the [G]truth
About the sadness [Am]I find
I have opene[G]d my heart t[D]o you[D]
[Am]And I [Dm]hope you [Am]don't mind
