In the morning air, how he used to hustle all the people

Walking through the fairgrounds, he's been around so long
A augmentedA
He's changed his meaning of a chair now
E MajorE
Because a chair now,
A augmentedA
Is like a tiny island in the sea of all the people

Who glide across the very surface that made his bones feeble

The end can't come soon enough but is it too soon?

Either way he can't deny he is a pantaloon

Intro:
G/BG/B 
B minorBm 
E minorEm C majorC
Chorus:
G/BG/B B minorBm
Hello, we haven't talked in quite some time
E minorEm C majorC G/BG/B
I know I haven't been the best of sons
G/BG/B B minorBm
Hello, I've been traveling in the deserts of my mind
E minorEm C majorC G/BG/B B minorBm
And I haven't found a drop of life
E minorEm C majorC
I haven't found a drop of you
G/BG/B B minorBm
I haven't found a dr - op

I haven't found a dr - op

C majorC G/BG/B B minorBm E minorEm C majorC G/BG/B B minorBm E minorEm C majorC
Wa - ter. Oh, woaah.
Verse:
G/BG/B
I tried desperately to run through the sand
B minorBm
As I hold the water in the palm of my hand
E minorEm
Cause it's all that I have and it's all that I need and
C majorC
The waves of the water mean nothing to me
G/BG/B
But I try my best and all that I can to
B minorBm
Hold tightly onto what's left in my hand
E minorEm
But no matter how, how tightly I will strain
C majorC
The sand will slow me down and the water will drain
G/BG/B
I'm just being dramatic, in fact, I'm only at it again
B minorBm
As an addict with a pen who's addicted to the wind
E minorEm
As it blows me back and forth, mindless, spineless, and pretend
C majorC
Of course I'll be here again; see you tomorrow
G/BG/B
But it's the end of today, end of my ways as a walking denial
B minorBm
My trial was filed as a crazy suicidal head case
E minorEm
But you specialize in dying; You hear me screaming: "Father"
C majorC
And I'm lying here just crying; so wash me with your water
Interlude:
G/BG/B B minorBm E minorEm C majorC G/BG/B B minorBm E minorEm C majorC
Wa - ter, Oh, oh

I know I haven't been the best of sons
G/BG/B B minorBm
Hello, I've been traveling in the deserts of my mind
E minorEm C majorC G/BG/B B minorBm
And I haven't found a drop of life
E minorEm
I haven't found a drop
C majorC
Of you
G/BG/B B minorBm
I haven't found a dr - op
E minorEm C majorC
I haven't found a dr - op
G/BG/B B minorBm E minorEm C majorC
Of water

6. MARCH TO THE SEA
Verse 1:
G+G C majorC
There's miles of land in front of us.
E minorEm
And we're dying with every step we take.
D MajorD
We're dying with every breath we make.
G+G
And I'll fall in line.
C majorC
The stranger's back is all I see.
E minorEm
He's only a few feet in front of me.
D MajorD
And I'll look left and right sometimes,
G+G
But I'll fall in line.
C majorC
No one looks up anymore,
E minorEm
Cause you might get a rain drop in your eye.
D MajorD
And heaven forbid they see you cry,
G+G
As we fall in line.
C majorC
And about this time of every year,
E minorEm
The line will go to the ocean pier
D MajorD
And walk right off into the sea.
G+G
And then we fall asleep.
Instrumental:
G+G C majorC E minorEm D MajorD
G+G C majorC E minorEm D MajorD
G+G C majorC E minorEm D MajorD
Verse 2:
G+G C majorC
And as we near the end of land,
E minorEm
And our ocean graves are just beyond the sand.
D MajorD G+G
I ask myself the question, "Why... I fall in line?"
C majorC
Then out of the corner of my eye,
E minorEm
I see a spaceship in the sky
D MajorD
and hear a voice inside my head.
C majorC G+G D MajorD
"Follow me instead."
C majorC G+G D MajorD
"Follow me instead."
C majorC G+G D MajorD
"Follow me."
C majorC G+G D MajorD
"Follow me."
Instrumental:
G+G C majorC E minorEm D MajorD
Verse 3:
G+G C majorC
Then the wages of war will start
E minorEm
Inside my head with my counterpart.
D MajorD
And the emotionless marchers will chant the phrase,
G+G
"This line's the only way."
C majorC
And then I start down the sand.
E minorEm
My eyes are focused on the end of land.
D MajorD
But again the voice inside my head says,
C majorC G+G D MajorD
"Follow me instead."
C majorC G+G D MajorD
"Follow me instead."
C majorC G+G D MajorD
"Follow me."
C majorC G+G D MajorD
"Follow me instead."
C majorC G+G D MajorD
"Follow me instead."
C majorC G+G D MajorD
"Follow me instead."
C majorC G+G D MajorD
"Follow me instead."
C majorC G+G D MajorD
"Follow me instead."
Verse 4:
G+G C majorC
Take me up, seal the door.
E minorEm
I don't wanna march here anymore.
D MajorD
I realize that this line is dead.
G+G
So I'll follow you instead.
C majorC
So then you put me back in my place,
E minorEm
So I might start another day.
D MajorD
And once again I will be,
G+G
In a march to the sea.

They blame it on the time.

He laid it out, what he had planned
DmDm
And then I said, I'll take the grave
C majorC
Please, just send them all my way
A#A#
And then I felt chills in my bones
FF
The breath I saw was not my own
DmDm
I knew my skin that wrapped my frame
C majorC
Wasn't made to play this game
A#A#
And then I saw Him, torch in hand
FF
He laid it out, what he had planned
DmDm
And then I said, I'll take the grave
C majorC
Please, just send them all my way
Interlude:

Chorus:
A#A# FF DmDm
I began to understand
C majorC
Why God died
Interlude:
A#A# FF DmDm C majorC
Outro:
A#A# FF
The air begins to feel a little thin
DmDm C majorC
As we're waiting for the morning to begin
A#A# FF
But for now you told me to hold this jar
DmDm
And when I looked inside, I saw
C majorC
It held your heart
A#A# FF DmDm C majorC
For me to walk away with
A#A# FF DmDm
I began to understand
C majorC A#A# FF
Why God died

So the hearse ran out of gas

And checked his watch and grabbed a cab

A augmentedA little light revealed the spot Where my fingernails had fought
A augmentedA
Then I pushed it open more
F# minorF#m
Pushing up against the door
C# minorC#m
Then I sat up off the floor And found the breath I was searching for
A augmentedA
Then there were three men up front
C# minorC#m
All I saw were backs of heads
F# minorF#m
And then I asked, "Am I alive and well or am I dreaming dead?"

And then one turned around to say,
C# minorC#m
"We're driving toward the morning sun

Where all your blood is washed away And all you did will be undone."

E minorEm A minorAm G+G B7B7
E minorEm A minorAm G+G B7B7
E minorEm A minorAm G+G B7B7
E minorEm A minorAm G+G B7B7
Verse 1:
E minorEm A minorAm G+G B7B7
Now is the climax to the story
E minorEm A minorAm G+G B7B7
That gives the demons and angels purpose
E minorEm A minorAm G+G B7B7
They fly around while we are walking
E minorEm A minorAm G+G B7B7 C majorC
And mold our emotions just to please them
Chorus:
D MajorD E minorEm
I am cold, can you hear
G+G B7B7 C majorC
I will fly, with no hope, no fear
D MajorD E minorEm
And the ground, taunts my wings
G+G D MajorD
Plummet as I sing, plummet as I sing
Interlude:
E minorEm A minorAm G+G B7B7
E minorEm A minorAm G+G
Verse 2:
B7B7 E minorEm
All we are is an isle of flightless birds
A minorAm G+G
We find our worth in giving birth and stuff
B7B7
We're lining our homes against winding roads
And we think the going is tough
E minorEm A minorAm
We pick songs to sing, remind us of things that no body cares about
G+G B7B7
And honestly we're probably more suicidal than ever now
E minorEm A minorAm G+G
If you decide to live by, what you think's wrong and what's right
B7B7
Believe me you'll begin to wish you were sleeping
E minorEm
Your weeping will creep in head and you'll cry
A minorAm G+G
But if we wake up every morning and decide what we believe
B7B7 E minorEm A minorAm G+G B7B7
We can take a part our very heart and the light will set us free
Chorus:
C majorC D MajorD E minorEm
I am cold, can you hear
G+G BB C majorC
I will fly, with no hope, no fear
D MajorD E minorEm
And the ground, taunts my wings
G+G D MajorD C majorC
Plummet as I sing, plummet as I
D MajorD E minorEm
I am cold, can you hear
G+G D MajorD C majorC
I will fly, with no hope, no fear
D MajorD E minorEm
And the ground, taunts my wings
G+G D MajorD
Plummet as I sing, plummet as I
Verse 3:
C majorC
How frustrating, and so degrading
D MajorD
His time, we're wasting
E minorEm
And time will fly by and the sky will cry as light is fading
And he is waiting, oh so patiently
G+G D MajorD
While we repeat the same routine as we will please comfortability
C majorC
Please think about why you can't sleep in the evening
D MajorD
And please don't be afraid of what your soul is really thinking
E minorEm
Your soul knows good and evil, your soul knows both sides
G+G D MajorD
And it's time you pick your battle, and I promise you this is mine
Outro:
