[verse 1]

A                 Asus4
Broken people get recycled
A                      A                           
and I hope that I will sometimes

what I thought was my way home
Dm(maj7)   Dm6
wasn't the place I (know)

[verse 2]

A                     Asus4
No, I'm not afraid of changing,
A         
Certain, nothing's certain
A                       Asus4
what we own becomes our prison
A                      Dm(maj7)  Dm6
my possessions will be gone
Dm(maj7)     Dm6

A                          Asus4
See the rock that you hold onto
A
is it gonna save you
A                         Asus4
when the earth begins to crumble?
A                         Dm(maj7)    Dm6
