[Intro 1]
[C][Dm][C][G][Dm][C][Dm]
[C]

[Verse 1]
[Dm]All hail,
the jester has [C]landed
[Dm]In flyover country he sings[Bb]
[C]Charmed [G]like a snake in a basket
[C]Should [Dm]be curled up and
ready to [C]spring
[Dm]We're raising our cross just
to burn [C]it
[Dm]The clergy are selling
their [Bb]souls
[C]Clear[G]ing a path,
ignoring [C]the facts
[Dm]Intoxicated by the throne
We'll be [Bb]standing

[Verse 2]
[F]here holding [C]our ground,
[F]come [G]what may
Like [Bb]a gho[Dm]st hau[Bb]nts fr[F]om
beyond the grave
[C]

[Verse 3]
Welcome to [Dm]the breakdown[F][C]
[G]Welcome to the [Dm]end o[F]f the [C]road
Welcome to [Dm]the breakdown[F][C]
[G]We've got [Bb]nowhere else to go
[C][Dm]

[Verse 4]
[C]When we [Dm]all go deaf in
the chamber of echoes
Cheering the missile [Bb]parade
[C]Agree[Gm]ing to let all the banks
rob [C]the people
[Dm]Together we circle the drain
We'll be [Bb]standing

[Verse 5]
[F]here holding [C]our ground,
[F]come [C]what [G]may
Like [Dm]a ghost hau[Bb]nts fr[F]om
beyond the grave
[C]

[Verse 6]
Welcome to the [Dm]breakdown[F][C]
[G]Welcome to the [Dm]end o[F]f the [C]road
Welcome to [Dm]the breakdown[F][C]
[G]We've [Gm]got [Bb]nowhere else to [C]go

[Verse 7]
Welcome to the [Dm]breakdown[F][C]
[G]Welcome [C]to the [Dm]end o[F]f the [C]road
This is [Dm]a breakdown
[F]And[C] we've [G]got no[Gm]wher[Bb]e else to go
[C]

[Interlude 1]
[Dm][Bb][Dm][Bb][Dm][C]
[F]
[C]It's [Dm]a game,

[Verse 8]
you've been played
It's [F]a flock, you're the sheep
It's a pied-piper [G]song [Gm]song
that [Bb]has lulled you to sleep
[C]It's a lie and[Dm] you fell for it - hook,
[C]line, and sinker
A hand [G]that you shook that then
[Bb]gave you the [C]finger
[Dm]A fraud and a fake, [F]a cowardly king
A lie [G]to your [Gm]face,
but [Bb]you still kiss the [C]ring
This [Dm]is the breakdown,
[F]this is the breakdown
[C]This [G]is the [Gm]break[Bb] down[C]!

[Verse 9]
[Bb]Standing here [F]holding our [C]ground,
[F]come [C]what may[Gm][G]
Like [Gm]a gho[Bb]st haunts from
[F]beyond the [C]grave

[Verse 10]
Welcome to the [Dm]breakdown[F][C]
[G]Welcome to the [Dm]end o[F]f the [C]road
This is a [Dm]breakdown[F][C]
And [G]we've [Gm]got [Bb]nowhere
else to [C]go

[Verse 11]
Welcome to the [Dm]breakdown[F][C]
Wel[G]come to the [Dm]end o[F]f the [C]road
This is [Dm]a breakdown[F][C]
And [G]we've [Gm]got [Bb]nowhere
else [C]to go
It's not [Bb]much, but this is [C]home
And there's [Bb]nowhere [C]else to [Dm]go
