 C#m                     E
Celluloid soldiers, come in from the rain
 B                           F#
Murder my smile, but please leave me my pain
C#m                          E
All those good people, they don't even try

Stealing the truth while they pay for your lie
C#m                                         E
I'm about to lose the things I never saw before

You wanted me to know the ups and downs

Away we go to get another hit, the it
      F#
The blood that she's about to spit
 C#m                    E
You go your way and I guess I'll go mine
 B            F#/A#       A         G#
We'll both arrive at the very same time

Please lift up your lamp, walk through this door

 C#m                          E
Kick down the doors that you don't understand

Please don't lose sight of this generous plan
  C#m                  E
Blinded by prisms, we wind up in court
B                             F#/A#          A
I'm folding chairs while you sold yourself short
  C#m
She's about to redefine the way
          E
Reminded me to say the other way was right
             B
She's in a place to pray for me
                       F#
And now she's got to flash the funky lighter
  C#m                       E
You've got your way and it seems I've got mine
 B          F#/A#      A             G#
Both gonna die at the very same time
