Intro riff x4
[Em]And so n[C]ow, now that you re[G]alize
That planets are sp[C]heres with oil on the ins[G]ide
And your g[C]od is only a cata[G]pult
Waiting for the ri[C]ght time to let you g[G]o
Into the unk[C]nown just to wa[G]tch you hold your bre[G/C]ath
Yeah and surr[Am]ender your fortr[G]ess
[Em]And your though[C]ts will tumble like rock[G]s do
Over the val[C]leys of factory oce[G]ans
The Tur[C]kish carpets are flapping
As the wi[G]nd drops you dow[Am]n to the sur[G]face
Yeah when you're l[Am]ooking for your sw[G]eet heart
[Em]And yo[C]u're, you're the k[G]ind to hide your ey[C]es from the s[G]un
And in your wo[C]rld the strong sur[G]vive
[Am]But I won't lay[Em] my body dow[G]n
Intro riff x4
[Em]Let me tell[C] you, your arms are like bou[G]lders
And your shoulders are cli[C]ffs, but your head keeps rolling[G] off
And your spine it is we[C]ak from the weight on your shou[G]lders
And from diffe[Am]rence of opi[G]nion
[Em]There is a so[C]ng you hear on the ra[G]dio
It's a funeral m[C]arch so you change the cha[G]nnel
But it's all you h[C]ear as you're driving up the 1[G]01
From M[C]exico to Cali[G]fornia
Yeah th[Am]ere's no sn[G]ow when you're loo[Am]king for your sweet he[G]art
T[Am]here's no sn[G]ow when you're look[Am]ing for your answ[G]ers
[Em]Yeah you[C]'re, you're the ki[G]nd to hide your e[C]yes from the s[G]un
And in your wo[C]rld the strong sur[G]vive
[Am]But I won't [Em]lay my body do[G]wn
Intro riff x8
[Em]Yeah by the t[C]ime they get your let[G]ter of expla[C]nation
You'll be de[G]ad and gone
Barking up a n[C]ew tree and eyeing up some n[G]ew friends
And scaring off the f[C]amilies while tidying up your loo[G]se ends
Chasing squir[C]rels around your pro[G]perty
Making sure that they k[C]now that this is your kin[G]gdom
And no[Am]thing will s[G]top it, yeah not[Am]hing will sto[G]p it
If not[Am]hing can s[G]top it, yeah [Am]nothing will st[G]op it
[Em]And you[C]'re, you're the ki[G]nd to hide your ey[C]es from the s[G]un
And in your wo[C]rld the strong sur[G]vive
Bu[Am]t won't yo[Em]u lay your body do[G]wn
[Em]Yes and n[C]ow, now's the ti[G]me to wrap your ea[C]rs
Around the sou[G]nds of your tra[C]in coming rou[G]nd
??? Am Em C G ???
But you don't have to lay everything down
