Intro:  Ebm,  F#,  Db  
        Ebm,  B, Db  
    BHave you ever heard that voice of reason whisper Ebmin your ear?
Oh did it say the things you never want to Bhear?
Tell me, where'd that angel perched upon your Dbshoulder go?
Did you pick her up and F#swallow her Bwhole?
And do you ever miss the balance of the Ebmback and forth...
Or is it peaceful now without the extra Bnoise?
Tell me, where'd that devil perched upon on your Dbshoulder go?
(  Db)
Did it make your head its home?
Wouldn't you Ebmlove to be inspired?
Let the F#thought erode your Dbfears.
Is it Ebmenough to be admired?
Does it Bget you through the Dbyears?
 BStay calm. You've got to Ebmcarry on, oh, even with the weight of all you've Bdone.
How does it feel to know they look up to you cause they're Dball so young?
And that's why the F#charges come...
BI wanna know, how many mBbemories do you Dbpray to Ebmforget?
BbTell me, were they Bworth it?
Wouldn't you Ebmlove to be inspired?
Let the F#thought erode your Dbfears.
Is it Ebmenough to be admired?
Does it Bget you through the Dbyears?
Well, I can’t wait to Ebmwatch your empire crumble.
Can’t wait to F#watch the walls cave Dbin.
For only when Ball you have is F#rubble, can you Dbtruly build again.
    BIf you spend all of your time feeling you’re empty inside,
Dbthen you should question everyF#thing you know about.
    BIf you spend all of your time ignoring every sign
Dbthen you should question how you’ll F#ever make it out.
     BHey, give me a reason not to cause some unrest.
DbTell the press, stop your checks F#till you're homeless.
    BHey, give me a reason you're entitled to this.
DbI'll bet you question how you'll Bbmever...
    DbAnd the levy's 'bout to break!
EbmYeah, you let the Dbdiscord build 'til you're sick from the static and the devil in your head will yell!
EbCareful, better be Abmcareful what you Dbwish for.
EbCareful, better be Abmcareful what you Dbwish...
Wouldn't you Ebmlove to be inspired?
Let the F#thought erode your Dbfears.
