[A][E][A][F][E][A]

[Verse 1]
Our [A]idols
lay in [E]ruins[F][A][E][Am][F][E][A]
We'd have saved them if we could,
[E]but[F] we[A] st[F]ill[Am] cho[E]ose [A]to worship[E][F][A][Am][E]
[A]The places whe[Am]re our idols stood
Still believ[E]ing[Em][E]
they can [F]save [E]us

[Verse 2]
I've [Am]lived this way [E]to long [Em]to turn back
[F]now[E][A][E][Am][F][A]
Presuppositions set [E]in stone[A][F][Am]
[A]This coffin sealed by my
own [Am]pride[F][E]
[A]And though it seems
the sun will [Am]shine[F][E]

[Verse 3]
[A]I'll draw the shades and sta[Am]y insid[A]e

It's that the ghosts of
[Am]idols will do just as [F]well

[Am]You know w[F]hat's [A]at stake,
[F]some things are better left [G]un said
[Am]As long as we keep it in[E] textbooks,
then we'll [Dm]be unto[F]uchable
[Am]We hate to lie to children
[E]But after all, it's all for[Dm] thei[F]r own

[Outro 1]
