(Intro)

E minorEm


(Verse)

     E minorEm            A minorAm
Bring me birds with broken wings, Men with all the answers,
BB               E minorEm
People who have killed,Give me incurable cancers.
     E minorEm               A minorAm
Bring me creatures baked in oil, Give me disregard for doubt,
BB                     E minorEm
Street lights shine on broken Roads where no one is about.
       E minorEm            A minorAm
I want that hopeless dream depression, Punishments without a cause,
     BB           E minorEm
Give me impotent obsession, And disregard for laws.
      E minorEm                A minorAm
I want the trees in single file, Bring the corpse of something rare,
    BB                 E minorEm
Show me children who are sinners, Show me mounds of human hair.

(Chorus)

A minorAm                E minorEm
I climbed up the mountain just to kill my son,
A minorAm              E minorEm
An angel tried to stop me with a ram,
       A minorAm                 E minorEm
Well he said ?your mind?s infected?, But I said ?you lack perspective?,
BB
You gotta walk the bottom if you wanna see the top,


E minorEm         A minorAm      BB       E minorEm
La da da da, La da da da, La da da da da da da da da da
E minorEm         A minorAm      BB       E minorEm
La da da da, La da da da, La da da da da da da da da da

(Verse)

    E minorEm          A minorAm
Give me poison I can swim in, Water I can?t drink,
 BB                    E minorEm
Wheels that won?t stop spinning, Teach my children not to think.
      E minorEm                   A minorAm
I want the fruit that tastes like nothing, And two thumbs for every crook,
     BB                E minorEm
Give me lessons without questions, Mild the days the books.
    E minorEm          A minorAm
Give me metaphors unraveled, Poetry defined,
      BB               E minorEm
Bring me the head of Dionysius, But please don?t spill out the wine.
     E minorEm                A minorAm
Trade the future for the present, Trade me ashes for my history,
    BB               E minorEm
I don?t need to look inside,I know the answer to the mystery.

(Bridge)

C majorC           E minorEm
Oh I know they call me crazy,
C majorC           E minorEm
But there will be no turning back,
A minorAm           E minorEm
I don?t care if things get ugly.
BB
Once the word of god is spoken,
BB
There?s no way to take it back,
