Intro:  Am  E  F  G

Am           E            F       G       
From rape to right in, too real to live 

        Am              E  
should I lie down or stand up  
    F            G 
And walk around again?  
Am                  E 
My eyes finally wide open up  
F                   G 
My eyes finally wide open shut  
Am              E 
I finally found the sound  
F               G                
That heals the touch of my tears  
Am              E 
Smells the taste of all we waste  
F               G        
Could feed the others  
Am                   
But we smother each other  
        E               F 
With the nectar and pucker the sour  
        G 
Of sugarsweet weather  
Am 
It blows through our trees 
E 
Swims through our seas  
F                       G 
Flies through the last gasp we left on this earth  
(Am E F G - 4x) 
It's a long lonely journey from death to birth  
Am 
Should I die again?  
E                       F               G                       Am 
Should I die around the pounds of matter wailing through space?  
    E              F               G            Am 
I know I'll never know until I come face to face  
        E    F          G 
With my own cold, dead face  

Am      E   F      G 
with my own wooden case 

(Am E F G) 

(Am E F G - 4x) 
It's a long lonely journey from death to birth
