[Verse 2]
AmTen sounds at once reverberate
CCoin-operations selGf-sustain in a cloud
AmCompulsion caught will penetrate
C"Come on son, do your counGtry proud!"
[Pre-Chorus 1]
AmLead us down to the oceaEmn
And Cwash our hands of campaigns for the self-assFured AmnowG  
AmFading white in surEmrender
And wCeary from the beating sun that Fblinds youG  
[Chorus 1] 
AmTake a hit for catharsis
CTake a hit for them all

I wanna die for a reason
CI wanna kill for a cause
AmBefore they fall

[Verse 3]
AmThe fall won't kill but it's gonna hurt
CAnd for a moment clear the haze Gfrom your eyes
AmTo redefine the lines of flesh and dirt
CA sudden tenderness, viscGera surprise
AmDressed in red to mourn the dead
C6 o'clock, do you watch just to Gwince at this?
AmEyes are wide; we have been misled
CAnd now you face the modern syntGhesis
[Pre-Chorus 2]
AmStraighten out your fictEmion
As Cmeans to ends and ends to meaning guide youF  G  
[Chorus 2]
AmTake a hit for catharsis
CTake a hit for them all
GAfter the flags they're selling off the wallAm  
I wanna die for a reason
CI wanna kill for a cause
GAfter the flags I'm nobody at allEm

If I can't reach you with reason
CYou set us up for a fall

[Intro]

Am C G

[Verse 1]

"But still it moves" I heard you cry

C G

Matters of fact attract, with time to bide

Thread sisters stay on my side

C G

Heavy headed when we collide

[Link]

Am C G

[Verse 2]

Ten sounds at once reverberate

C G

Coin-operations self-sustain in a cloud

Compulsion caught will penetrate

"Come on son, do your country proud!"

[Pre-Chorus 1]

Am Em

Lead us down to the ocean

C F Am G

And wash our hands of campaigns for the self-assured now

And weary from the beating sun that blinds you

After the flags they're selling off the wall

I wanna die for a reason

I wanna kill for a cause

Before they fall

[Link]

Am C G

[Verse 3]

The fall won't kill but it's gonna hurt

C G

And for a moment clear the haze from your eyes

To redefine the lines of flesh and dirt

C G

A sudden tenderness, viscera surprise

Dressed in red to mourn the dead

C G

6 o'clock, do you watch just to wince at this?

Eyes are wide; we have been misled

C G

And now you face the modern synthesis

[Pre-Chorus 2]

Am Em

Straighten out your fiction

C F G

As means to ends and ends to meaning guide you

[Chorus 2]

Take a hit for catharsis

Take a hit for them all

G Am

After the flags they're selling off the wall

I wanna die for a reason

I wanna kill for a cause

G Em

After the flags I'm nobody at all

[Link]

Am C G

[Chorus 3]

Take a hit for catharsis

Take a hit for them all

G Am

After the flags they're selling off the wall

N.C.

(After the flags they're selling off the wall)

If I can't reach you with reason

You set us up for a fall

G Em

After the flags you're nobody at all

[Outro]

Am C G
