[Verse 1]
[D#]So[B]
I [Em]arrived, naked and cold
[D#]A welcomed chang[Em]e from the abeyance
of a [D#]ghost town catacomb
[Em]No need for counsel I appreciate
[D#]the time, I'm not alone
[E](Why don't you get my[D#]
lawyer on [B]the phone)

[Verse 2]
[Em]There were days these child [D#]eyes
Would [B]overlook [Em]the
ugliness and fantasize
[D#]I fo[B]und [Em]my
heart for the first
[D#]time and I awakened [B]in me
[Em]I left myself to navigate,
[D#]and oh I felt cont[B]rol
(It seems these [C]sheep have
[B]qui[C]te an [D]app[Em]etite)

[Verse 3]
Who is the crowd that
[F]peers through the cage
As [Dm]we perform here u[Em]pon th[B]e stage?

[Verse 4]
[E][Em][D#][Em]
[D][D#]
[B]As [Em]the boy became a man
[D#]In came a calm[Em] sophistication
I can [D#]hardly understand
[Em]So lost in ego, didn't notice
[D#]when the time had slipped away
[Em](Yea[D#]h, everybody's got a

[Verse 5]
sob story)
[Em]Jesus Christ, was born to die
[D#]Leave it to ma[Em]n to
levitate his own [D#]to id[B]olize
[Em]We're simply sociopaths with
[D#]no communication, baby
[Em]I see your angle but we
[D#]differ from our points [B]of view
(So tell [D]me, [C]wha[B]t's your
[D]cro[C]ss [G]to [Em]bear?)

[Verse 6]
Who is the crowd that
[F]peers through the cage
As [Dm]we perform here u[B]pon the stage?
[Em]Tell me a lie in
a [F]beautiful way
I [Dm]believe in answers just [B]not today

[Verse 7]
[Gm]Hope
my wheels don't abandon me now
[D#]Seeing that I'm out here alone
[F]I'm running out of fight
[D]And[Gm] the wind speaks
a comforting voice
[D#]Guiding me to he[F]r arms

[Verse 8]
Mother, I'm alright
[D]It took the bir[Gm]th of sin
to snake-rattle the the mind
Before [D#]a blow to the head
by the gavel of time
To [F]wake up
Won't [D]you wake up?
When did [Gm]the walking apes
decide that nuclear war
Was the [D#]only solution for
them keeping the score?
Just [F]wake up
[D]Can't you wake
