Chords with lyrics

Intro:
Bb majorBb - C majorC - Bb majorBb - C majorC - Bb majorBb
C majorC - Bb majorBb - C majorC - Bb majorBb (3x)

D/C          C majorC
Up in the sterilized room
      Am7Am7
Where they let you be lazy
F7F7               C majorC
Know-ing your attitudes are wrong
       Am7Am7
And you gotta change, and it's not easy

F7F7                G+G
Drag-ons shining with all values known
F7F7                G+G  FF G+G C majorC
Daz-zling you, keeping you from your own
F7F7               C majorC
Where is the lion in you to de-fy him
         Am7Am7
When you're this weak and this spacey?

  D/C
So what are you gonna do about it
C majorC       Am7Am7
You can't live life and you can't leave it
  F7F7              C majorC
Ad-vice and religion you can't take it
     Am7Am7
You can't seem to believe it

  F7F7            G+G
The pea-cock is afraid to pa-rade
    F7F7           G+G FF G+G C majorC
You're un-der the thumb of a maid
  F7F7                 C majorC
You real-ly can't give love in this con-di-tion
     Am7Am7
Still you know how you need it

       C majorC   G7/B
Then open and close  you
               Am7Am7
Then they talk like they know  you
        G+G
They don't know you
              C majorC   G7/B
They're friends and they're foes too, trouble child,
G/DG/D         Dsus4Dsus4     G+G
 Brea-king like the waves at Malibu

Bb majorBb - C majorC - Bb majorBb - C majorC - Bb majorBb
C majorC - Bb majorBb - C majorC - Bb majorBb (3x)

  D/C
So why does it come as such a shock
C majorC          Am7Am7
 To know you really have no one?
F7F7            C majorC
On-ly a river of changing fa-ces
Am7Am7
  Looking for an ocean

   F7F7             G+G
They tric-kle through your leaky plans
    F7F7        G+G FF G+G
Another dream over the dam
C majorC     F7F7
And you're ly-ing in some room
         C majorC      Am7Am7
Feeling like your right to be hu-man
       G+G
Is going over too

         C majorC  G7/B
But some are gonna knock  you
          Am7Am7
And some'll try and  clock you
G+G
 You know it's really hard
 C majorC         G7/B
To talk sense to you,  trouble child
G/DG/D         Dsus4Dsus4     G+G
  Breaking like the waves at Malibu

Bb majorBb - C majorC - Bb majorBb - C majorC - Bb majorBb
C majorC - Bb majorBb - C majorC - Bb majorBb (2x)
