Dm C#
So I arrived, naked and cold
Dm
A welcomed change from the abeyance
C#
of a ghost town catacomb
Dm
No need for counsel
C#
I appreciate the time
Dm
I'm not alone
C#
(Why don't you get
my lawyer on the phone)
Dm
There were days
C#
these child eyes
Dm
Would overlook
C#
the ugliness and fantasize
Dm
I found my heart
C#
for the first time and I awakened in me
Dm C#
I left myself to navigate
A A..-A# A#-A A..-A# A#-A
And oh I felt control
[CHORUS]
Dm
Who is the crowd
D#
that peers through the cage
Cm A
As we perform here.. upon the stage

Dm C# Dm C#
Dm C#
As the boy.. became a man
Dm
In came a calm sophistication
C#
I can hardly understand
Dm
So lost in ego
C#
Didn't notice when the time
Dm
had a slipped away
C#
(yeah, everybody's got a sob story)
Dm C#
Jesus Christ.. was born to die
Dm
Leave it to man to levitate
C#
his own to idolize
Dm
We're simply sociopaths
C#
with no communication baby
Dm
I see your angle
C#
but we differ from our points
A..-A# A#-A A..-A# A#-A
of view
[CHORUS]
Dm
Who is the crowd
D#
that peers through the cage
Cm A
As we perform here.. upon the stage
Dm D#
Tell me a lie.. in a beautiful way
Cm A
I believe in answers.. just not today

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