Verse:
Gmaj7sus4
Here in the wreckage
Gmaj7sus4
The winter is hard
Gmaj7sus4
I sleep in the same clothes
Gmaj7sus4
That I dragged through the mud
Chorus 1:
C majorC
And if you ask me
Gmaj7sus4
Nothing's changed
C majorC
There's nowhere else I can go
Gmaj7sus4
So I stay
Verse:
Gmaj7sus4
We're writhing rats
Gmaj7sus4
We make beds in the straw
Gmaj7sus4
And then we build houses
Gmaj7sus4
Paint our names on the door
Chorus 1:
C majorC
And if you ask me again
Gmaj7sus4
Is this life?
C majorC
I don't see I have a choice
Gmaj7sus4
But I still smile
Gmaj7sus4
And bide my time
Verse:
Gmaj7sus4
I who have no roots
Gmaj7sus4
And nowhere to go
Gmaj7sus4
And as for the future
Gmaj7sus4
Well, I really don't know
Chorus 1:
C majorC
But if you ask me
Gmaj7sus4
I will nod
C majorC
But if you ask me...
Gmaj7sus4 C majorC
Here I am
Gmaj7sus4 C majorC
Here I am
Chorus 2:
Gmaj7sus4
My dear wife
Gmaj7sus4
And my children of God
Gmaj7sus4
The borders were already drawn for us
Gmaj7sus4
Hold on to life
Gmaj7sus4
In this refuge of dirt
Gmaj7sus4
And search for a place you can breathe again
Gmaj7sus4
It's not a crime
