Dmadd2
[Verse 1]
N.C. Dmadd2
they’ve come to take my voice away
C
but they won’t listen anyway
Bb
they can think what they heard
A
without hearing a word
Dmadd2
they’ve come to take my voice away
Dmadd2
they come to tell me where to turn
C
they’ve come show me what to learn
Bb
I’ve only seen so much
A
but I’m not so out of touch
Dmadd2
they’ve come to tell me where to turn
[Chorus]
Bb F C
so many pages left to turn
A Bb
we’ve got so much left to learn
F C
all the seasons they’ll come around
A Bb
before another leaf touches the ground
F C
every night turns in to day
A
we’ll all find a reason
A Dmadd2
we’ve all got a reason to stay
[Verse 2]
N.C. Dmadd2
they’ve come to tell me how to pray
C
but their gods don’t listen anyway
Bb
it’s all made up of things
A
those things won’t give you wings

they’ve come to tell me how to pray
Dmadd2
they’ve come to take my soul away
C
they take a little every day
Bb
they take it piece by piece
A
no matter what I believe
Dmadd2
they’ve come to take my soul away
[Chorus]

we’ve all got a reason to stay

N.C. Dmadd2
they’ve come to take my breath away

I used to have so much to say

I can feel it in my chest

it feels like I should rest

they’ve come to tell me how to pray

they come to take my soul away
