[Verse 1]
Fm  E  Fm  E
 
      Fm                E
So I arrived, naked and cold
           Fm                            E
A welcomed change from the abeyance of a ghost town catacomb
Fm                        E                          Fm
  No need for counsel I appreciate the time I'm not alone
               E
(Why don't you get my lawyer on the phone)
           Fm               E
There were days these child eyes
          Fm                        E
Would overlook the ugliness and fantasize
Fm                               E
  I found my heart for the first time and I awakened in me
Fm                     E
  I left myself to navigate
                 C   C   C#   C   C   C#
And oh I felt control
 
(It appears these sheep have quite an appetite)
 
 
 
[Chorus 1]
Fm                    F#
Who is the crowd that peers through the cage
   Ebm              C
As we perform here upon the stage
 
 
 
[Verse 2]
Fm  E  Fm  E
 
       Fm           E
As the boy became a man
          Fm                        E
In came a calm sophistication I can hardly understand
Fm
  So lost in ego
       E                                   Fm
Didn't notice when the time had a slipped away
            E
(yeah, everybody's got a sob story)
      Fm                  E
Jesus Christ, was born to die
            Fm                         E
Leave it to man to levitate his own to idolize
Fm                             E
  We're simply sociopaths with no communication baby
Fm                        E                         C   C   C#   C   C   C#
  I see your angle but we differ from our points of view
 
(So tell me, what's your cross to bear)
 
 
 
[Chorus 2]
Fm                    F#
Who is the crowd that peers through the cage
   Ebm              C
As we perform here upon the stage
Fm                 F#
Tell me a lie in a beautiful way
    Ebm                   C
I believe in answers just not today

Abm                               E/Ab
  Hope my wheels don't abandon me now
                         F#/Bb
Seein' that I'm out here alone
                   Eb7/G
I'm runnin' out of fight
Abm                                E/Ab
  And the wind speaks a comforting voice
                  Bb/F#
Guiding me to her arms
              Eb7/G
Mother, I'm alright
            Abm
It took the birth of sin to snake-rattle the mind
         E/Ab
Before a blow to the head
                        F#/Bb
By the gavel of time to wake up
       Eb7/G
Won't you wake up
             Abm
When did the walking apes decide that nuclear war
        E/Ab
Was the only solution for them keeping the score
       F#/Bb
Just wake up
       Eb7/G
Can't you wake up
(You do know this is just a simulation, don’t you)
