[INTRO]
Ab/Db Gb/Db Ab/Db Ab/Db
[VERSE I]
Ab/DbI can't control this Gb/Dbflesh and blood
Ab/DbThat's wrapped around my bGb/Dbones
It moves beneath me like a GbM7/Bbriver
Into the Ebm7great unAb7known
[VERSE II]
Ab/DbI stepped onto the Gb/Dbmoving stairs
Ab/DbBefore I could tie my sGb/Dbhoes
Pried a harp out the fingers of a GbM7/Bbrenegade
Who lived and Ebm7died the bAb7lues
[BRIDGE]
And his promise made was Bbmnever clear
GbIt just carved itself in Abme
All I saw was frost inBbmside my head
On the Gbnight he said to Abme
[CHORUS]
Someday we'll Dblive like Ab/Chorses
Free Bbmrein from your old iron Ab/Cfences
There's more ways than Gbone to regain your Db/Absenses
Break out the Gb/Bbstalls and we'll Ab7/Clive like Dbhorses
[INSTRUMENTAL]
Db Ab/C Bbm Gb Ab
[VERSE III]
Ab/DbWe're the victims of the Gb/Dbheartbreak
Ab/DbThat kept us short of Gb/Dbbreath
Trapped above these bloodless GbM7/Bbstreets
Without a Ebm7safety Ab7net
[VERSE IV]
Ab/DbI stood in line to Gb/Dbjoin the trial
Ab/DbOne more customer of faGb/Dbte
Claimed a spoke in the wheel of the GbM7/Bbwagon train
On the Ebm7road to the golden Ab7gate
[BRIDGE]
On the flat cracked desert BbmI jumped ship
GbIt just made sense to Abme
I've spent too long in the belly Bbmof the beast
And Gbnow I shall be Abfree
[CHORUS]
Someday we'll Dblive like Ab/Chorses
Free Bbmrein from your old iron Ab/Cfences
There's more ways than Gbone to regain your Db/Absenses
Break out the Gb/Bbstalls and we'll Ab7/Clive like Dbhorses
