Intro:

C Am F G x2


Verse 1:

    C                                Am
    Took a gander at the stars above me,
    F                                    G
    closed my eyes and took a breath for free.
    C                              Am
    Never understood the nature of madness,
        F                             G
    the tragedy of the common so they say.

    F                        G            C
    Are we not the ones that manifest our destiny?
    F                      G                  Am
    Are we not the ones to spill blood in the street?
    F                         G
    Are we not the ones that eat our young,
    C           G        Am
    destroy the land and sea,
         F                                 G
    then cry for help when all is said and done?


Verse 2:

    C                                 Am
    I could never gague a world around me,
            F                                G
    I could barely scale the wall that we've built.
      C                         Am
    I shy away from hate, or at least I like to say.
        F                        G
    But Arn't all men capable of evil?

    F                        G            C
    Are we not the ones that manifest our destiny?
    F                      G                  Am
    Are we not the ones to spill blood in the street?
    F                         G
    Are we not the ones that eat our young,
    C           G        Am
    destroy the land and sea,
         F                                 G
    then cry for help when all is said and done?
         F                                 Am
    Yeah cry for help when all is said and done.

C Am F G x2


Verse 3:

    C                              Am
    "Well is there such a thing as revolutions?"
             F                           G
    Said the wax, collecting dust on the shelves.
          C                     Am
    Let's make a mockery of the tragedy we sell,
    F                                  G
    Camaraderie of the commons must be held.

    F                         G            C
    Shall we be the ones that manifest our destiny?
    F                         G                Am
    Shall we be the ones that clean up all our streets?
    F                         G
    Shall we be the ones that care for young,
        C       G        Am
    and nurture land and sea,
        F                       G
    and live and die for camaraderie?
         F            G         C
    Yeah live and die for camaraderie.
