VERSE
|     Cm        G#|     Cm         D|x4
The roots of the matter run miles deep. This is the era of eternal sleep&#8232;
Please everybody now but please be advised. Nothing's going away just cuz' you're 
closing your eyes
PRE-CHORUS
|     Cm|      G|      F|      G|x2
This is a harvest of some rotten seeds. This surely isn't any mystery&#8232;
This is the fruit of-a the poison trees. You better ask yourself what you believe&#8232;&#8232;
CHORUS 1
|     Cm|     G#|     D#|     Bb|x2
I see a stormin' is coming down, and I can feel my bones creak&#8232;
I know you can feel it too. But, you are just to scared. Are you just to scared to speak?&#8232;
|     Cm        G#|     Cm         D|x2
VERSE
The wire is taped now and crackling hot. Words from a burning screen will make your 
stomach knot&#8232;
Fear the hopeless and lock the door. Sweet safety, praise the lord&#8232;&#8232;
The loud voices got the signals locked. All the past heroes now outlined in chalk &#8232;
Well that'll teach the world to not walk the walk, and show your face out in the light 
and hear the pistols pop&#8232;&#8232;
PRE-CHORUS
CHORUS 2
I see a stormin' is coming down, and I can feel it in my bones&#8232;
I know you can feel it too. But you think that you're, you think that you're all alone&#8232;&#8232;
BREAKx5 (VERS)
VERSE
Old tactics leaves you face down on the bricks. This new dog knows some terrible tricks&#8232;
Turn the cameras off and it doesn't exist. That’s a lesson well learned back in 1966 &#8232;&#8232;
