[Verse 1]
C*x8
C*x4
Free as a driving wheel
                  Dm7  C*x2   
Circling around your iron will

Keeping time with everyone
[Verse 2]
C*x4
High as the light of day
                      Dm7  C*x2
Falling down across your lost highway
C*x4
Why does it hurt this way?
                            Dm7  C*x2
To come so far to find they've closed the gates
[Hook 2]
GYou've lost your tongue when you fall from the Dm7pendulumF  
Your heart is a Cdrum
