Intro: Em
Em Am
Bring me birds with broken wings, Men with all the answers,
B Em
People who have killed,Give me incurable cancers.
Em Am
Bring me creatures baked in oil, Give me disregard for doubt,
B Em
Street lights shine on broken Roads where no one is about.
Em Am
I want that hopeless dream depression, Punishments without a cause,
B Em
Give me impotent obsession, And disregard for laws.
Em Am
I want the trees in single file, Bring the corpse of something rare,
B Em
Show me children who are sinners, Show me mounds of human hair.
Am Em
I climbed up the mountain just to kill my son,
Am Em
An angel tried to stop me with a ram,
Am Em
Well he said ? your mind?s infected?, But I said ?you lack perspective?,
B
You gotta walk the bottom if you wanna see the top,
Em Am B Em
La da da da, La da da da, La da da da da da da da da da
Em Am B Em
La da da da, La da da da, La da da da da da da da da da
Em Am
Give me poison I can swim in, Water I can't drink,
B Em
Wheels that won?t stop spinning, Teach my children not to think.
Em Am
I want the fruit that tastes like nothing, And two thumbs for every crook,
B Em
Give me lessons without questions, Mild the days the books.
Em Am
Give me metaphors unraveled, Poetry defined,
B Em
Bring me the head of Dionysius, But please don't spill out the wine.
Em Am
Trade the future for the present, Trade me ashes for my history,
B Em
I don't need to look inside,I know the answer to the mystery.
Am Em
I climbed up the mountain just to kill my son,
Am Em
An angel tried to stop me with a ram,
Am Em
Well he said ?your mind?s infected?, But I said ?you lack perspective?,
B
You gotta walk the bottom if you wanna see the top,
Em Am B Em
La da da da, La da da da, La da da da da da da da da da
Em Am B Em
La da da da, La da da da, La da da da da da da da da da
C Em
Oh I know they call me crazy,
C Em
But there will be no turning back,
Am Em
I don't care if things get ugly.
B
Once the word of god is spoken,
B
There?s no way to take it back,
