[Intro]
Dsus2 Em (x4)
Dsus2
[Verse]
Em Dsus2
All hail, the jester has landed
Em C
Defile the country he sings
Asus2 Dsus2
Charmed like a snake in a basket
Em Dsus2
Should be curled up and ready to spring
Em Dsus2
We're raising our cross just to burn it
Em C
The clergy are selling their souls
Asus2 Dsus2
Clearing a path, ignoring the facts
Em Dsus2 Asus2 (one strum)
Intoxicated by the throne
[Pre-Chorus]
C G Dsus2 Asus2
We'll be standing here holding our ground, come what may
C G Dsus2
Like a ghost haunts from beyond the grave
[Chorus]
Em G Dsus2 Asus2
Welcome to the breakdown
Asus2 Em G Dsus2 Asus2
Welcome to the end of the road
Asus2 Em G Dsus2 Asus2
This is the breakdown
Asus2 C Dsus2
We've got nowhere else to go
[Verse]
Em Dsus2
When we all go deaf in the chamber of echoes
Em C
Cheering the missile parade
Asus2 Dsus2
Agreeing to let all the banks rob the people
Em Dsus2 Asus2 (one strum)
Together we circle the drain
[Pre-Chorus]
C G Dsus2 Asus2
We'll be standing here holding our ground, come what may
C G Dsus2
Like a ghost haunts from beyond the grave
[Chorus]
Em G Dsus2 Asus2
Welcome to the breakdown
Asus2 Em G Dsus2 Asus2
Welcome to the end of the road
Asus2 Em G Dsus2 Asus2
Welcome to the breakdown
Asus2 C Dsus2
We've got nowhere else to go
Em G Dsus2 Asus2
Welcome to the breakdown
Asus2 Em G Dsus2 Asus2
Welcome to the end of the road
Asus2 Em G Dsus2 Asus2
This is the breakdown
Asus2 C Dsus2
We've got nowhere else to go
[Bridge]
Em
Em
It’s a game, you’ve been played
G
It’s a flock, you’re the sheep
Asus2 C
It’s a pied-piper song that has lulled you to sleep
Em G
It’s a lie and you fell for it - hook, line, and sinker
Asus2 C C
A hand that you shook that then gave you the finger
Em G
A fraud and a fake, a cowardly king
Asus2 C
A lie to your face, but you still kiss the ring
Em G
This is the breakdown, this is the breakdown
Asus2 C Dsus2
This is the breakdown!
[Pre-Chorus]
C G Dsus2 Asus2
Standing here holding our ground, come what may
C G Dsus2
Like a ghost haunts from beyond the grave
[Chorus/Outro]
Em G Dsus2 Asus2
Welcome to the breakdown
Asus2 Em G Dsus2 Asus2
Welcome to the end of the road
Asus2 Em G Dsus2 Asus2
This is the breakdown
Asus2 C Dsus2
We've got nowhere else to go
Em G Dsus2 Asus2
Welcome to the breakdown
Asus2 Em G Dsus2 Asus2
Welcome to the end of the road
Asus2 Em G Dsus2 Asus2
This is the breakdown
Asus2 C Dsus2
We've got nowhere else to go
C Dsus2
It's not much, but this is home
C Dsus2 Em
And there's nowhere else to go
Dsus2 Em
