the pre chorus, but other than that i think its pretty close.

(Palm muted)

Paint it black and white if you like,

The story's still the same.

A generation built on a lie, that
E5 G5
Everyone of us is safe.
B5 G5
Paint it black and white if you like,
E5 G5
If it keeps you sane.

You know the world just ain't right.

So tell me, who's to blame?
Pre chorus:
And I will catch you, but who might
Break the fall?
[Chorus]

Goddamn, I might be the son of Sam.

(same as verse 1)
Burning buildings from above.
Send the best, and send their love.
Turn away. Goodbye, goodnight.
Go to sleep, now don't you cry.
Are you afraid your life means less?
Are you concerned you might be next?
It's much too soon for me to tell,
If you're in heaven or in hell.

And I will catch you, but you might
Break the fall.

Bridge:
B5 G5
Your ceiling falling piece by pieces,
E5
Raining down like concrete.
G5 A5
Just surrender, and remember what
A5
You've done to me.
B5 G5
Look now, over your shoulder.
E5
No, it's not over. it's just beginning.
G5 A5 B5
And I will write the final ending
[Chorus]
Goddamn, I might be the son of Sam.
The only child of a holy man.
I stand alone for all to see,
'Cause they‘ve never seen no one like me.
Goddamn, I might be the son of Sam.
The only child of a holy man.
I stand alone for all to see,
'Cause they‘ve never seen no one like me.
