Well, here's the chords, I think they're pretty darn accurate - I even took the track
and slowed it down so I could hear the guitar chords better. There's a lot of distortion
and awesome dissonance between the bass/guitar in this track... THE LYRICS ARE SO
MUFFLED. There is NOT ONE official/good/correct standard on the web, so I will try my best.
[Intro]
G E C E
(x4)
[Verse 1]
G Em C
Well I'm building a highway back,
C D A
Back to the heart of things,
Am C Bm D
No love left to walk back,
Am G C
Back to the heart of things...
D
So...
G F C
Falling above and black,
C D A
All our city gone red,
Am C Bm D
When I get it all for you,
Am G C
I'm gonna get it all...
D
True... True...

[Verse 2]
G Em C
It's so cold an' I say good-bye,
C D A
With a hold and a meaning why,
Am C Bm D
But you never let the parted in,
Am G C
Holdin' on to sound don't swim,
D
...Didj'you wanna worry now...
G Em C
Said it would take me home,
C D A
All of the fitting it broke,
Am C Bm D
Say whatchu' want don't bring,
Am G C D
Anything back to... Me.... ....
G Em C
Yes a whole lotta day goes by,
C D A
Hopin' for a lover won't lie,
Am G C D
If I get a lie from you -ou
Am G C D
I'll make it all come true -ue
