[Intro]
E A# A E A# A E
[Verse 1]
EA bed of nails, cold dark deep refrigeration
EI hear it calling me
EA broken rail as he drools over the congregation
EI hear it calling me
ENow I won't tell you how to live your life
EI never saw the point in thinking twice
EI turn the wheel by day, by night
ERaise your flag
EHere's to the liberation
[Pre-Chorus]
F#Day by day I move in timeA  
F#Turn the wheel, pay for my crimeDs
[Chorus]
The Emmiller's horse is wearBing down
BmHe Abangs his heart on BHalloween ground
The EmMiller hears a Bsingle sound
The Asound of the grinding Bwheel goes round and D#rounD#mdF  E  
[Verse 2]
EThe ship has sailed to dark sea destinations
EI feel it holding me
EThe gods are hailed for their absentee observations
EI feel it holding me
ENow I can't tell you where integrity hides
EIt showed it's face, you struck it down and it died
EI turn my wheel with a seamless pride
ERaise your flag
EHere's to the revolution
[Pre-Chorus]
F#Day by day I move in timeA  
F#Turn the wheel, pay for my crimeDs
[Verse 3]
EThe pain is all you ever feel
EA concrete will, and a back of steel
I give my soul unto the F#wheel
[Pre-Chorus]
F#Day by day I move in timeA  
F#Turn the wheel, pay for my crimeAsG  F#

Eye off of the Bmneedle, in the heart of the sun
Stuck in the middle, Whit the blazBing F#moneF#
