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

Verse 1:
G C
There's miles of land in front of us.
Em
And we're dying with every step we take.
D
We're dying with every breath we make.
G
And I'll fall in line.
C
The stranger's back is all I see.
Em
He's only a few feet in front of me.
D
And I'll look left and right sometimes,
G
But I'll fall in line.
C
No one looks up anymore,
Em
Cause you might get a rain drop in your eye.
D
And heaven forbid they see you cry,
G
As we fall in line.
C
And about this time of every year,
Em
The line will go to the ocean pier
D
And walk right off into the sea.
G
And then we fall asleep.
Instrumental:
G C Em D
G C Em D
G C Em D
Verse 2:
G C
And as we near the end of land,
Em
And our ocean graves are just beyond the sand.

I ask myself the question, "Why... I fall in line?"
C
Then out of the corner of my eye,
Em
I see a spaceship in the sky

and hear a voice inside my head.
C G D
"Follow me instead."
C G D
"Follow me instead."
C G D
"Follow me."
C G D
"Follow me."
Instrumental:
G C Em D
Verse 3:
G C
Then the wages of war will start
Em
Inside my head with my counterpart.

And the emotionless marchers will chant the phrase,
G
"This line's the only way."
C
And then I start down the sand.
Em
My eyes are focused on the end of land.
D
But again the voice inside my head says,
C G D
"Follow me instead."
C G D
"Follow me instead."
C G D
"Follow me."
C G D
"Follow me instead."
C G D
"Follow me instead."
C G D
"Follow me instead."

Verse 4:
G C
Take me up, seal the door.
Em
I don't wanna march here anymore.
D
I realize that this line is dead.
G
So I'll follow you instead.
C
So then you put me back in my place,
Em
So I might start another day.
D
And once again I will be,
G
In a march to the sea.

I know the stars will start to fade
C#m
When all the darkness fades away
F#m
We had to steal him from his fate So he could see another day."
A
Then I cracked open my box
F#m
Someone must have picked the lock
C#m
A little light revealed the spot Where my fingernails had fought
A
Then I pushed it open more
F#m
Pushing up against the door
C#m
Then I sat up off the floor And found the breath I was searching for
A
Then there were three men up front
C#m
All I saw were backs of heads
F#m
And then I asked, "Am I alive and well or am I dreaming dead?"
A
And then one turned around to say,
C#m
"We're driving toward the morning sun
F#m
Where all your blood is washed away And all you did will be undone."

Em Am G B7
That gives the demons and angels purpose
Em Am G B7
They fly around while we are walking
Em Am G B7 C
And mold our emotions just to please them
Chorus:
D Em
I am cold, can you hear
G B7 C
I will fly, with no hope, no fear
D Em
And the ground, taunts my wings
G D
Plummet as I sing, plummet as I sing
Interlude:
Em Am G B7
Em Am G
Verse 2:
B7 Em
All we are is an isle of flightless birds
Am G
We find our worth in giving birth and stuff
B7
We're lining our homes against winding roads
And we think the going is tough
Em Am
We pick songs to sing, remind us of things that no body cares about
G B7
And honestly we're probably more suicidal than ever now
Em Am G
If you decide to live by, what you think's wrong and what's right
B7
Believe me you'll begin to wish you were sleeping
Em
Your weeping will creep in head and you'll cry
Am G
But if we wake up every morning and decide what we believe
B7 Em Am G B7
We can take a part our very heart and the light will set us free
Chorus:
C D Em
I am cold, can you hear
G B C
I will fly, with no hope, no fear
D Em
And the ground, taunts my wings
G D C
Plummet as I sing, plummet as I
D Em
I am cold, can you hear
G D C
I will fly, with no hope, no fear
D Em
And the ground, taunts my wings
G D
Plummet as I sing, plummet as I
Verse 3:
C
How frustrating, and so degrading
D
His time, we're wasting
Em
And time will fly by and the sky will cry as light is fading
And he is waiting, oh so patiently
G D
While we repeat the same routine as we will please comfortability
C
Please think about why you can't sleep in the evening
D
And please don't be afraid of what your soul is really thinking
Em
Your soul knows good and evil, your soul knows both sides
G D
And it's time you pick your battle, and I promise you this is mine
