G  G      D   Dsus4  D   G
   And to love       a   god

G  G      D   Dsus4  D   Em
   And to fear       a   flame
          Bm    C
   And to burn  A crowd that has a name

[repeat above riff and chords]

      And to right or wrong
      and to meek or strong
      it is known, just scream it from a wall

D            D            D          D
I've willed, I've walked, I've read, I've talked
D       D       D
I know, I know, I've been here before.

Em       A  Asus2 A
Hey, now we won't be raped
Em       A  Asus2 A
Hey, now we won't be scarred like that
Em       A  Asus2 A
Hey, now we won't be raped
Em       A  Asus2 A  Csus2
Hey, now we won't be scarred like that


[follow top riff and chords]

It's the song that burns
It's the wheel that turns
It's the way we sing that makes em dream
And to Christ, a cross
And to me, a chair
I will sit and earn the ransome from up here

I've willed.....



...scarred like that

just a couple things that sounded right to me:

I thought this sounded more like:

and I'm pretty sure they insert a Dsus4 in the verse

	G	D Dsus4 D G	D Dsus4 D Em	Bm
	C	C
