Oh you feel and you taste it and you want to go higher
So what do you do
     A(no5)                          C#5  E  
And so you peek into the mountain where your desire goes
 A(no5)                        C#5  E  
Spilt blood on this place it only echoes
True all through the days
     A(no5)                          C#5  E  
And so you peek into the mountain where your desire goes
   A(no5)              C#5  E  
O-oh having the space to know
                     A (no5)
The way it is coming down
C#5Take it on down the Eline
Oh yeaah having the space to know
The way it is coming down
Take it on down the line
           A(no5)                    C#5  
Well it's hard to get ahead when the center is bleeding
They Etear out the middle and they send it all away
 A(no5)        C#5  
Tasteless lead sitting on our tongues
And Ethen we have to worry more about the ones we love
 A(no5)              C#5  
When you see there's smoke there's fire.
EWhen you see there's smoke there's fire.
 A(no5)              C#5  
When you see there's smoke there's fire.
EWhen you see there's smoke there's fire.
Having the space to know
The way it is coming down
Take it on down the line
Oh yea-e-eh having the space to know
The way it is coming down
Take it on down the line
Oh you feel and you taste it and you want to go higher
So what do you do
And so you peek into the mountain where your desire goes
Spilt blood on this place it only echoes true all through the day
And so you peek into the mountain where your desire goes
Oh having the space to know
The way it is coming down
Take it on down the line
Oh yea-e-eh having the space to know
The way it is coming down
Take it on down the line
