                                           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

                                           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

  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
