♫ Intro:

E minorEm D MajorD
G+G BB


♫ Verse 1:
 E minorEm
I guess sometimes I want to follow the air
  D MajorD       G+G
And be nowhere at all
  BB       E minorEm
And float over the storm
E minorEm
Sometimes I want to let my voice
    D MajorD      G+G
Find a body made of stone
  A augmentedA      C majorC
As solid as a wall

♫ Pre-Chorus:
C majorC              E minorEm
I want nothing and I want it all
 D MajorD
I want the silence
       E minorEm
And to let it roar
C majorC            G+G
Can’t figure, figure it all
 D MajorD
I try to sing, I come undone
  C majorC
But I’m still standing

♫ Chorus:
    E minorEm
Lai lai lai, lai la-lai
    C majorC      G+G
Lai lai lai, lai la-lai
  C majorC      E minorEm
Lai Lai, Lai la-lai
    D MajorD      C majorC
Lai lai lai, lai la-lai

♫ Verse 2:
E minorEm
Who’s out there with a set of big brass balls
  D MajorD       G+G
To face up to it all
  BB
And laugh in sadness?
E minorEm
All those fakers want to speak in drawl
    D MajorD         G+G
But it takes some rock’n’roll
    BB       C majorC
To meet Ivan the terrible

♫ Pre-Chorus:
C majorC              E minorEm
I want nothing and I want it all
 D MajorD
I want the silence
       E minorEm
And to let it roar
C majorC            G+G
Can’t figure, figure it all
 D MajorD
I try to sing, I come undone
  C majorC
But I’m still standing

♫ Bridge:
C majorC                  E minorEm
You came into my life like a cannon ball
  D MajorD
You broke my pride you cut my claws
  E minorEm
You called my lies you smashed my walls
   C majorC                 G+G
And I loved you why’d you put me to the sword?
 D MajorD
I try to sing, I come undone
  C majorC
But I’m still standing
