D
Well you lie on your back
G D
And mill through the scars
G D
So careful you are to
A
Surrender a thing
----
D
But Jesus ain't coming
G D
So don't waste your time
G D
Not yours and not mine
A
You're only dreaming
---
D
And while you were scheming
G D
With silver machines
G D
Far above the leaves
G A
I snuck into your scene
---

D
Don't lie there, lurking
G D
Behind your troubled walls
G D
Wicked as they are
A
You're not deceiving
---
D D G F#m Em Em D D G
A
And if I could find your heart
D G
I would pull it from your chest
D G
And smash you with my fist
A
Til' it was beating
---
G A
And if there's a hole inside
D G
Heaven in your bed
D G
'Cause the angel that you kissed
A
Just left you bleeding
---
D
I know it ain't easy
G D
To keep roundin' on
G D
When the voices in your skull
A
Are always screaming
---
D
Broke into your prison
G D
And dropped the sleeping guards
G D
Painted flowers on the bars
A
And snuck you out the yard
---
D
Paralysed and gleaming
G D
With visions of new states
G D
We're wrapped in our embrace
A
While we were dreaming
