Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][A][D][F][A][F][E][Eb][C][F][G][E]
[Am][A]
[F]When [A]the supreme

[Verse 1]
[C]
[F]au [E]thorities[Eb] of our cult[C]ure
Tell [Csus4]us to get do[F]wn on our kn[G]ees
[E]And beg for salvation from [Am]some divinity
Is it [D]any wonder there are [C#]people
[C]Begging on the [A]street for sal
[G]vation from [F]poverty?[E]

[Verse 2]
[A]Well, [G]it'[D]s no surprise to me[A]
I left my home in the church

[Verse 3]
I left my [A]home in the suburbs to [D]wander
I did [A]it all for my dreams
and the star
That I followed fell [D]from the periphery
The [A]street lights [G]slipping down
My [D]windshield fell like [A]falling stars

[Verse 4]
Down a dark [A]country road
I first left my home when I was [D]seventeen
And [A]I paid my respects to my
fellow rejects
But I ten[D]ded to wander
alone like I was [A]listening
To [G]the words [D]of a song,
whispered [A]soft and low

[Verse 5]
It's [A]kind of like dancing
It's kind of like losing your [D]mind
And I've [A]of ten considered
The impractibility of my [D]life
[A]The moon be[G]hind [D]the clouds is ill- defined
[A]

[Verse 6]
I got [D]lost so many [A]times but I could [D]not
Be [A]consigned to a [D]fate
of obsolescence
And de[E]cline,
so [D]I'll take the chance [A]again
And the [D]Mockingbird is my friend
[A]when he sin[D]gs
A song in the warm midnight [Bm]wind,
[E]I'll fol[A]low
[G]My old [D]tune and I'll wish you good morning
