(Palm muted)
B5Paint G5it black and white if you like,
The storE5y's still the sG5ame.
B5A generation G5built on a lie, that
E5Everyone of us G5is safe.
B5Paint G5it black and white if you like,
If it kE5eeps G5you sane.
B5You knG5ow the world just ain't right.
So teE5ll mG5e, who's to blame?
Pre chorus:
And I will catch you, but who might
Break the fall?
[Chorus]
B5GoddD5amn, E5I might be the son of Sam.

(same as verse 1)
Burning buildings from above.
Send the best, and send their love.
Turn away. Goodbye, goodnight.
Go to sleep, now don't you cry.
Are you afraid your life means less?
Are you concerned you might be next?
It's much too soon for me to tell,
If you're in heaven or in hell.
Pre Chorus:
And I will catch you, but you might
Break the fall.
[Chorus]
B5GoddD5amn, E5I might be the son of Sam.

A5You've done to me.

No, E5it's not over. it's just beginning.
G5And I wiA5ll wB5rite the final ending
[Chorus]

The only child of a holy man.
I stand alone for all to see,
'Cause they‘ve never seen no one like me.

I stand alone for all to see,
'Cause they‘ve never seen no one like me.
