[Intro]
C G G7 F
E7 Am Dm G
[Verse]
C G G7 F
We crossed paths in the Walmart of my subconscious.
E7 Am Dm G
Your warpaint was a dark shade I hardly recollect.
C G G7 F
An ultraviolet Ulta-violence, green and black
G E7 Am
Your lashes were flapping like the wings
Dm G
Of some extinct insect.
[Pre-Chorus]
E7 Am
Sending shockwaves through my spine;
Dm G G7
Sending shockwaves through my mind.
[Chorus]
F G
We deserve somewhere better to explore,
C C/B Am G
Like an old forgotten thrift store,
F G
But my mind has no directory,
C E7 Am G F
And I haven't enough old memories.
Fm
[Interlude]
C G G7 F
G E7 Am Dm G
[Verse]
C G G7 F
You turned to me and screamed "What's next to steal?"
E7 Am
How do I know you're even real,
Dm G
Or just validating how I feel?
C G G7 F
And even here people think I'm a weirdo,
G E7 Am
Because I treat the people like they're people;
Dm G
Bearing witness to the unspoken evil
[Pre-Chorus]
E7 Am
Alienating eyes.
Dm G
I see through your disguise.
[Chorus]
F G
My other lover was there in spirit
C C/B Am G
Buying their poison medication,
F G
Because the allergens are getting worse,
C E7 Am G F
Like an anti-human chemical warfare of the Earth.
Fm
[Bridge]
C E7 Am G C E7 Am G
Show me how to break free. (Break free!)
C E7 Am G F G
How deep has the marketing gotten to me?
C E7 Am G C E7 Am
'Cause in this world I've discovered
G F Fm
Nobody seems to mind how much you suffer.
[Pre-Chorus]
E7 Am Dm G
And I'm fearful of the chance that you won't understand;
E7 Am Dm G
Oh, I'm fearful of the chance that nobody understands.
No!
[Interlude]
C E7 Am
Dm C G
[Chorus]
F G
The aisles stretched for miles.
C E7 Am G
I see the Devil in the details.
F G
Oh my friend, I think I see the end,
C E7 Am G
And it's far beyond the shelves.
F G
How do I break free from this waking dream
C E7 Am G F
To where no one can hear me scream again?
Fm
Well then.
[Verse]
C G G7 F E7
Love seems to be all that is free
Am Dm
From the grasp of those who've gone and
G
Privatized everything.
C G G7 F
Even the people, the words, the water, these chords.
G E7 Am
The show must go on; you've got to finish the song,
Dm G
'Cause this Spectacle ain't giving sway.
[Outro]
F G
They've stolen everything away,
C E7 Am G
Even my subconscious Walmart,
F G
And my subconscious you,
C E7 Am G
And my subconscious me,
F G
And it's revealed to be that
C E7 Am G F
Love is all that is free.
Fm Fm
And someday, you'll see.
