[Intro]

Em Am G

[Verse]

Em Am G

The hopeless immortal's beginning to fade

Em Am G

Wrestled down with anchors, impervious chains

Em Am G

The ocean's electric reduced to a buzz

Em Am G

The pills turn the popper, he probably would

Em Am G

[Verse]

Em Am G

The standoff mechanic of cognisance, sighs

Em Am G

Mulls brooding through the alleyway, a harbinger's night

Am D G C

He pulled the remains, and teeth from the tree

Em Am G

When he sat down in memphis, he bound it on a hill

Em Am G

[bridge]

G G F F Am

G G F F Am G G F F Am

How to take it all in stride, win your soul and mind the light

G G F F Am G G F F Am G G F F Am

How to live around the storm, wind and pressures to befall

Am D G C

Here's a question you might need to ask

Em Am G

What's self destruction and how can we last?

end

Em Am G
