Ebm                              C# 
I'm putting your patience to the test. 
Ebm                          C#        Ab 
I'm putting your body on the line, for less. 
Ebm                             C# 
And didn't you know there was a choice? 
Ebm                          C#     Ab 
It's never yours but someone else's voice. 

Ebm                            C# 
Slippin' your body through the street. 
Ebm                                 C#         Ab 
I'm sending your girlfriends to the night, for cheap. 
Ebm                      C# 
Wearing a jacket made of meat. 
Ebm                         C#       Ab 
Sending a letter waved with walls so sweet. 
Ab 
And now you've heard that... 


Ebm           Ab 
Waves turn to grey. 
Ebm         Ab 
Life in the shade. 
  Ebm     Ab 
A violent cloud. 
    Ebm       Ab 
And that's on USA. 
Ebm             Ab 
Running for the rights, 
Ebm            Ab 
Sleep into the sky. 
Ebm                 Ab 
I'm just trying' to find... 
  Ebm            Ab 
A mountain I can climb. 

Ebm C# Ebm C# Ab

And didn't you know there was a choice? 
Ebm                          C#     Ab 
It's never yours but someone else's voice. 
Ab 
And now you've seen that... 



Ebm          Ab 
Waltz on the grey. 
Ebm         Ab 
Life in the shade. 
  Ebm     Ab 
A violent cloud, 
    Ebm       Ab 
And that's on USA. 
Ebm         Ab 
Born on the rise. 
Ebm            Ab 
Circles in the skies. 
Ebm                Ab 
I'm just tryin' to find... 
  Ebm            Ab 
A mountain I can climb.

Ab                     Ebm 
Tell us, are you gonna tell us? 
                  Ab 
Why do we feel so jealous? 
                  Ebm 
Why do we feel so silent? 
                 Ab 
Why is it always silent? 
                                   Ebm 
                (I didn't want to ask you baby, 
Ab                   Ebm                              Ab 
I didn't want you to suffer , and everybody is singing .... ) 
Ebm-Ab-Ebm 
Ebm-C# 
Ebm         C#              Ab 
Why are you waiting? By the door... 
 

Ebm           Ab 
Life turns to dust, 
         Ebm         Ab 
And when it turns to rust. 
Ebm         Ab 
Gossip is a truth. 
         Ebm         Ab 
A little bit for the lie you took. 
    Ebm             Ab 
And why do you look surprised? 
     Ebm              Ab 
Ever since I'm in the skies. 
Ebm                Ab 
I'm just tryin' to find, 
  Ebm               Ab 
A place for you and I.
