[Verse]
Em
When will I have time to mourn what I've become
G
A new corporate shellac with a stapler gun
Am
And I'll write out my letters at demigod speed
Em
And I'll worship upon my own altar of greed
G
'Til all families break up and all buildings come down
Am
And all letters I write come back address unfound
C
And the Earth's smile will open 'neath my office chair
G Em
Find myself swallowed, Jonah and the whale
[Chorus]
G Em
And I was born a man, so that's who I became
G E7
Trading death for money, fearing only change
G Em
Altruistic visions behind a concrete wall
G Em
Borders in my body as I wait for them to fall
[Interlude]
G G G G
[Verse]
Em
The tragedy of the dreamer ten times scorned
G
For their name was drawn out to be young warrior
Am
And so love became casual, tears became dry
Em
As they took up their birthright and saw their dreams die
G
And you must understand that my life, it is cursed
Em
I have lived all my dreams, I grew gold from the dirt
Am
And yet still there's an emptiness inside my chest
C
So why not just give in, let the fat whale digest
[Chorus]
G Em
And I was born a man, so that's who I became
G E7
Trading death for money, fearing only change
G Em
Altruistic visions behind a concrete wall
G E7
Borders in my body as I wait for them to fall
[Outro]
E7 G
Oh, to fall, to fall, to fall
G Em
Oh-ooh
Em E
Fall, fall, fall
G Am
