Stained Glass Ceilings chords by The Wonder Years

Chords with lyrics

[Verse 1]

               Chord diagramE MajorE
Like a burning monk
                                 Chord diagramC# minorC#m
You're my light flare out in the dark
                           Chord diagramG# minorG#m
You're my constant call to arms

Took the blindfold off
       Chord diagramA augmentedA                                            Chord diagramE MajorE
They'd left chalk outlines where the future was
                      Chord diagramC# minorC#m
It's a goddamn war of attrition
                           Chord diagramG# minorG#m
It's a death by a thousand cuts
                                      Chord diagramA augmentedA
And if these motherfuckers made it to heaven

They burned the bridge when they got across
[Chorus 1]

                  Chord diagramE MajorE
They're gathering anchors
                  Chord diagramBB
They're gathering rope
              Chord diagramA augmentedA
You push into heaven all alone
                      Chord diagramE MajorE
They're grabbing your ankles
                   Chord diagramBB
They won't let you go
                Chord diagramA augmentedA
The ebb and the distant flow
                     Chord diagramBB
They're cutting your wings off
                          Chord diagramA augmentedA
Built you ceilings out of stained glass


[Verse 2]

         Chord diagramE MajorE                     Chord diagramC# minorC#m
Well you cut like gravel in my skinned knee
                      Chord diagramG# minorG#m
The wound will close eventually
                   Chord diagramA augmentedA                                   Chord diagramE MajorE
You'll stay as a reminder of how fucked this world can be
                       Chord diagramC# minorC#m
Held your funeral on a Tuesday
                      Chord diagramG# minorG#m
Holy waters, November cold
                       Chord diagramA augmentedA
The kid who pulled the trigger

Knew tomorrow couldn't promise him hope
[Chorus 2]

          Chord diagramE MajorE                      Chord diagramBB
All these bastards are gathering rope
              Chord diagramA augmentedA
You push into heaven all alone
                      Chord diagramE MajorE
They're grabbing your ankles
                   Chord diagramBB
They won't let you go
                Chord diagramA augmentedA
The ebb and the distant flow
                     Chord diagramBB
They're cutting your wings off
                           Chord diagramA augmentedA
Built your ceilings out of stained glass
                       Chord diagramBB
They were cutting your wings off
      Chord diagramA augmentedA
I was staring at my idle hands
                      Chord diagramC# minorC#m
Maybe I could've done something
                        Chord diagramA augmentedA
Maybe I could've made a difference

[Bridge 1]

[Soupy]

Chord diagramC# minorC#m                      Chord diagramA augmentedA
John Wayne with a God complex Tells me to buy a gun
                        Chord diagramE MajorE
Like shooting a teenage kid is gonna solve any problems

Like it's an arms race
                               Chord diagramC# minorC#m
Like death don't mean nothing
                                  Chord diagramA augmentedA
To know the heavy price of living poor
                                      Chord diagramE MajorE
Walled in by red lines, backed into a corner

Not knowing growing up what it's like to belong here in America


[Bridge 2]

[Jason Aalon Butler]

              Chord diagramC# minorC#m                                        Chord diagramA augmentedA
If everyone's built the same then how come building's so fucking hard for you?
                     Chord diagramE MajorE
It's something we're all born into
               Chord diagramC# minorC#m
Nothing's left up to gray
                        Chord diagramA augmentedA
It's black or white and sometimes black and blue
                     Chord diagramE MajorE                   Chord diagramBB
It's something we're all born into, whoa-oh
Chord diagramC# minorC#m
Now I know what's in a name

Not just my father
      Chord diagramA augmentedA
Three-fifths a man makes half of me

Why should I bother?


[Soupy]

Chord diagramE MajorE                                Chord diagramBB
Merchants of misery stacking the deck

Fuck your John Waynes

Fuck your God complex


[Jason Aalon Butler]

       Chord diagramC# minorC#m
I have everything in front of me
                     Chord diagramA augmentedA
But can't reach far enough

To touch those fever dreams
               Chord diagramE MajorE
They call America

I am the ghetto's chosen one
                       Chord diagramBB
The privileged bastard son


[Outro]

                  Chord diagramC# minorC#m
They're gathering anchors
                  Chord diagramBB
They're gathering rope
              Chord diagramA augmentedA
You push into heaven all alone
                  Chord diagramE MajorE
They're gathering anchors
                  Chord diagramBB
They're gathering rope
              Chord diagramA augmentedA
You push into heaven all alone

No, all alone


[End]
