Intro riff x4
Em C G
And so now, now that you realize
C G
That planets are spheres with oil on the inside
C G
And your god is only a catapult
C G
Waiting for the right time to let you go
C G G/C
Into the unknown just to watch you hold your breath
Am G
Yeah and surrender your fortress
Em C G
And your thoughts will tumble like rocks do
C G
Over the valleys of factory oceans
C
The Turkish carpets are flapping
G Am G
As the wind drops you down to the surface
Am G
Yeah when you're looking for your sweet heart
Em C G C G
And you're, you're the kind to hide your eyes from the sun
C G
And in your world the strong survive
Am Em G
But I won't lay my body down
Intro riff x4
Em C G
Let me tell you, your arms are like boulders
C G
And your shoulders are cliffs, but your head keeps rolling off
C G
And your spine it is weak from the weight on your shoulders
Am G
And from difference of opinion
Em C G
There is a song you hear on the radio
C G
It's a funeral march so you change the channel
C G
But it's all you hear as you're driving up the 101
C G
From Mexico to California
Am G Am G
Yeah there's no snow when you're looking for your sweet heart
Am G Am G
There's no snow when you're looking for your answers
Em C G C G
Yeah you're, you're the kind to hide your eyes from the sun
C G
And in your world the strong survive
Am Em G
But I won't lay my body down
Intro riff x8
Em C G C
Yeah by the time they get your letter of explanation
G
You'll be dead and gone
C G
Barking up a new tree and eyeing up some new friends
C G
And scaring off the families while tidying up your loose ends
C G
Chasing squirrels around your property
C G
Making sure that they know that this is your kingdom
Am G Am G
And nothing will stop it, yeah nothing will stop it
Am G Am G
If nothing can stop it, yeah nothing will stop it
Em C G C G
And you're, you're the kind to hide your eyes from the sun
C G
And in your world the strong survive
Am Em G
But won't you lay your body down
Em C G C
Yes and now, now's the time to wrap your ears
G C G
Around the sounds of your train coming round
??? Am Em C G ???
But you don't have to lay everything down
