C There are dead end streets around every turn. Am C(strum once) And a road map too beaten up, torn, and burnt to read. e|---------------------------------------------| B|--8--5--6------------------------------------| G|--x--x--x------------------------------------| D|--x--x--x------------------------------------| A|--7--3--5------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------| C Dead weight carried on for miles and miles. Am And someone's telling jokes but you never smile, C Am As the rows of tombstone houses pass you by. C And I say, you say, we say change. Am But we all know just what they say. C Am The more things change the more they stay the same. C(strum once) They just stay the same. e|---------------------------------------------| B|--8--5--6------------------------------------| G|--x--x--x------------------------------------| D|--x--x--x------------------------------------| A|--7--3--5------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------| This time it's eating me alive.(strum between C and Am a couple times) start strumming the C and Am for this verse C It's a long cold winter in the dead of night. Am And the candidates are saying they can make it right. C Am And we'll buy almost anything that they sell. C Drop dead headlights coming down the road. Am And we're frozen blind Believing in a heart of gold that will C Am Swoop right in and save us from our sins. C(strum once) Save us from our sins. e|---------------------------------------------| B|--8--5--6------------------------------------| G|--x--x--x------------------------------------| D|--x--x--x------------------------------------| A|--7--3--5------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------| This time it's eating me alive. switch between C and Am a couple times F Em Am I'm a bug on it's back kicking legs in the air F Em On a sidewalk in a city somewhere Am F Em G Seconds from thundering steps and ten ton shoes.
