Verse 1:

                      E5 C5 G5 A5 E5 C5 G5 A5
To the sound of a heartbeat pounding away
                      E5 C5 G5 A5 E5 C5 G5 A5
To the rhythm of the awful rusted machines
A5
We toss and turn but don't sleep
A5
Each breath we take makes us thieves
C5
Like causes without rebels
D5
Just talk but promise nothing else


Chorus 1:

E5     G5        D5     A5
 We crawl on our knees for you under a sky no longer blue
E5     D5        A5     C5
 We sweat all day long for you
E5      G5       D5           A5
 But we sow seeds to see us through cause sometimes dreams just don't come true
E5      D5        A5     C5
 We wait to reap what we are due

E5 C5 G5 A5 x5


Verse 2:

                      E5 C5 G5 A5 E5 C5 G5 A5
To the rhythm of a time bomb ticking away
                         E5 C5 G5 A5 E5 C5 G5 A5
And the blare of the sirens combing the streets
A5
Chased down like dogs we run from
A5          B5 C5
Your grasp until the sun comes up


Chorus 2:

E5     G5        D5     A5
 We crawl on our knees for you under a sky no longer blue
E5     D5        A5     C5
 We sweat all day long for you
E5      G5       D5           A5
 But we sow seeds to see us through cause sometimes dreams just don't come true
E5      D5          A5     C5
 Look now at what they've done to you


Verse 3:

B5             D5
White needles buried in the red
               C5
The engine roars and then it gives
     D5
But never dies
        E5
Cause we don't live
      B5
We just survive
    C5       D5   E5 G5 D5 A5 E5 D5 A5 C5
On the scraps that you throw away


Verse 4:

E5       G5       D5           A5
 I won't crawl on my knees for you I won't believe the lies that hide the truth
E5       D5        A5     C5
 I won't sweat one more drop for you
E5        G5       D5
 Cause we are the rust upon your gears
      A5       E5
We are the insect in your ears
    D5    A5    C5
We crawl, We crawl, We crawl, All over you


Outro 2:

E5      G5       D5          A5
 We sow the seeds to see us through our days are precious and so few
E5    D5        A5     C5
 We all reap what we are due
E5      G5      D5         A5
 Under this sky no longer blue we bring the dawn long overdue
E5    D5    A5    C5     E5
 We crawl, We crawl, We crawl, All over you
