Verse: (0:12 - 1:00)
Cause I [Bm]know that time has numbered my days, and Ill go along with e[G]verything you [D]say
But Ill [Bm]ride home laughing, look at me now, the walls of my town, they come [G]crumbling[D] down
And my ea[Bm]rs hear the call of my unborn sons, and I know their choices[G] color all Ive [D]done

Verse: (1:25 - 2:12)
Like the [Bm]city that nurtured my greed and my pride, I stretch my arms [G]into the [D]sky
I cry [Bm]Babel! Babel! Look at me now, then the walls of my town, they come c[G]rumbling [D]down
You ask w[Bm]here will we stand in the winds that will howl, as all we see will [G]slip into the[D] cloud
[Bm]
So come down from your mount[G]ain and stand where weve been, you know our breath is weak
and our[G] body[D] thin

[D/F#] Press my n[G]ose up to the g[D]lass around your heart
[D/F#] I shouldve [G]known I was we[D]aker from the start
[D/F#] Youll build your w[G]alls and I will p[Bm]lay my b[A]loody pa[G]rt
To te[G]ar, te[D/F#]ar th[D/E]em d[D]own, well Im gonna t[Bm]ear, t[G]ear them d[D]own

Cause I [Bm]know my w[A]eakness[D] know my [G]voice, and [Bm]Ill believ[A]e in gra[D]ce and c[G]hoice[A]
