F D#
We all have got a role to play
F D#
the lioness she stalks her prey
G# Bb F D#
he?s bleeding in the tall grass, unaware his thrashing makes him easier to follow
F D#
But when she gets him in her claws
F D#
she?ll invite him in because
G# Bb F D#
her cave is not a home without him, just a hole that is lonely and hollow
G# Bb F
And can?t you see the writing on the wall is drawing us together?
G# Bb D# F
It?s written there in soot and ash and blood and that?s furever.
G# Bb F
And so if you are terrified, of what you hide, remember
G# D# F D# F D#
That I?m still on your side, and that?s furever?furever?
F D#
We all have got a role to play
F D#
You?ll be filling yours someday
G# Bb F D#
and I?ll be filling mine until then we?re killing time, hunting monsters in our minds
F D#
and when I see you standing strong
F D#
Pretending you don?t want to play along
G# Bb F D#
I?ll never make you blue (or make you pay) I?ll tackle you into a pile to unwind
G# Bb F
And can?t you see the writing on the wall is drawing us together?
G# Bb D# F
It?s written there in soot and ash and blood and that?s furever.
G# Bb F
And so if you have been denied, choke up your pride, remember
G# D# F D# F D# F D#
That I am on your side, and that?s furever?furever?furever.
G# D# Cm
I don?t have to argue, everybody knows you have issues, you lay your colors bare (in a manner of speaking)
G# Bb Cm
I?ll be there when you finally decide to bare your heart, it?s the part I want to share
G# D# Cm
And I don?t have to argue, everybody knows you have issues, you wear them on your sleeves (so to speak)
G# D# Cm
I?m not a thief, the only jewels that I need are your diamonds, and I find them following
G# Bb
The bows and arrows, in your words
F
The words behind your broken teeth
G#
The broken glass that?s under foot, and paw and hoof
D# F
the high and low, whatever nonsense you believe
G# Bb
The vast unknown laid out ahead,
F
The tears and anger, good and bad
G#
The big adventure still at hand, and paw and whiskers.
Bb F
Grey, blue, red, whatever, I will understand!
G# Bb F
And can?t you see the writing on the wall is drawing us together?
G# Bb D# F
We?re written there in soot and ash and blood and that?s furever
G# Bb F
And so if I?ve been too discrete, let me repeat, remember
G# D# D# F D# F
