My voice never m[D]ade it in time
And they [Bm]hung me [A]out to [G]dry
[D]My words never bother to rhyme
And I [Bm]always [A]wonder [G]why
[Bm]So now I've taken to chewing [A]bottles
To see if I still [D]bleed
[A] [G]
D A G (x3)
[D]The king has to beg for his meals
The [Bm]times just [A]get me [G]down
[D]But I'm just a spoke in the wheel
I'll [Bm]always [A]be [G]around
[Bm]And now our plans are just like [A]trash in the breeze
[Bm]They never stay afloat for [A]long
[Bm]But I'll take my chances
And shake the [A]hands of those who think that
they're still [D]free[A][G]
That they're still [D]free[A][G]
That they're still [D]free[A][G]
That they're still [D]free[A][G]
Come on
D A G (x4)
(Listen for when to pause here, not difficult)
[D]Grab your torches[G]
It's time to burn this town[D]
Like men on porches[G]
No one will make a sound[D]
So find the pieces[G]
And build another one[D]
We always need it[G]
Because it's never [D]done
D G Bm A (x2)
[D]It's all [G]great
[Bm]I can't [A]breathe anymore
[D]Still [G]awake
[Bm]When my [A]face hits the floor
[D]Spent the [G]day
[Bm]Watching wav[A]es eat the shore
[D]I can't [G]stay
[Bm]No one [A]sings anymore [D] [G] (x9)
