[Em] [C] [Am] [D#]
[Em] [D#] [Em] [D#]
So I ar[Em]rived, naked and [D#]cold
A welcomed [Em]change from the abeyance
of a [D#]ghost town catacomb
[Em] No need for counsel
I ap[D#]preciate the time
I’m not a[Em]lone
[D#]
(Why don’t you get my lawyer on the phone)
There were [Em]days
these child [D#]eyes
Would over[Em]look
the ugliness and fan[D#]tasize
[Em] I found my heart
for the first [D#]time and I awakened in me
[Em] I left myself to navi[D#]gate
And oh I felt con[B]trol [B] [C] [C]-[B] [B] [C] [C]-[B]
(Chorus)
[Em]Who is the crowd
that [F]peers through the cage
As [Dm]we perform here.. u[B]pon the stage
(Intro)
[Em] [D#] [Em] [D#]
As the [Em]boy.. became a [D#]man
In came a [Em]calm sophistication
I can [D#]hardly understand
[Em] So lost in ego
Didn’t [D#]notice when the time
had a slipped a[Em]way
[D#]
(yeah, everybody’s got a sob story)
Jesus [Em]Christ.. was born to [D#]die
Leave it to [Em]man to levitate
his own to [D#]idolize
[Em] We’re simply sociopaths
with [D#]no communication baby
[Em] I see your angle
but we [D#]differ from our points
of [B]view[C] [C]-[B] [B] [C] [C]-[B]
(Chorus)
[Em]Who is the crowd
that [F]peers through the cage
As [Dm]we perform here.. u[B]pon the stage
[Em]Tell me a lie.. in a [F]beautiful way
I be[Dm]lieve in answers.. just [B]not today

[Gm] [D#] [F] [D]
[Gm] [D#] [F] [D]
[Gm] Hope my wheels don’t abandon me [D#]now
Seein’ that I’m out here a[F]lone
I’m runnin’ out of [D]fight
[Gm] And the wind speaks a comforting [D#]voice
Guiding me to her [F]arms
Mother, I’m al[D]right
It took the [Gm]birth of sin to snake-rattle the mind
Before a [D#]blow to the head
By the gavel of time to [F]wake up
Won’t [D]you.. wake up..
When did the [Gm]walking apes decide that nuclear war
Was the [D#]only solution for them keeping the score
Just [F]wake up..
Can’t [D]you wake up..
