Am                     C 
there's a car, driving by 
         F 
it's the fear, the fear, the fear 
              Am 
rolling in disguise 

Am 
look down 
          C 
it's over there now 
         F 
but it's here, it's here, it's here 
            Am 
it's in the eyes  

Am 
that dream is a lie 
Dm                   E7 
you wake up when you die 
                 Am 
wake up when you die 

Verse 

Dm                G         C        E7  Am 
these pigs should be in the backseat hogtied 
Dm        G           C      E7      Am 
but all i see is them freely driving by 
Dm                    G 
why should we let you in 
  C       E7       Am 
before we pull the pin 
        Dm              G 
how can anyone even fall 
                                     Am         
when they're pushed against the wall? 

Am                             C 
there's a point on the horizon line 
              F 
where you can see someone else's dream 
                  Am 
it's no dream of mine 

                    C 
the fear in an american town 
F 
he'll drown, he'll drown, he'll drown 
                       Am               
before you flush him down 

Am 
the dream is a lie 
Dm              E7 
wake up when he dies 
                Am 
wake up when he dies

        Dm                 G 
i'm not sure if i can ever understand 
    C 
the fear in 
Am             Dm 
america you're so unkind  
    G               C 
you break the body, chain the mind 
      F              E7              Am 
you'd fix it but you haven't got the time
