^CEverywhere you ^Glooked there was ^Amconfusion, violence, ^Emdrama and ^Fdru^Ggs ^CSo many rigtheous ^Grevolutionaries ^Amspouting [Em]utopian [F]love ^EEveryone shouted in purple^Amhaze Then one ^Eday they woke up from their dream ^Amstate They found ^G#themselves no more at peace then ^D#before Older, meek and con^Gformed

Chorus 1: [C]Em[G]pty [Am]causes[Em]

A ^Fbluster for the soul, a ^Gfix for the mind [C]Em[G]pty [Am]causes[Em] ^FCling to every^Gthing you ^Cfind^G

2nd verse:

^CWell, the shots rang out like ^Gpopcorn and the ^Amchief was hit and ^Emrushed out of ^Fsi^Gte ^CThe mohawk-chained, ^Gleather brigade re^Amjoiced malicious^Emly on that ^Fnight ^ESomeone cried out "Fuck the govern^Amment" ^EHis mates couldn't define what he ^Ammeant So no ^G#one gave him the time of ^D#day And the scene died a^Gway

Chorus 2: [C]Em[G]pty [Am]causes[Em]

A ^Fwar for the body, an ^Garmy in the mind [C]Em[G]pty [Am]causes[Em] ^FLosing steam as ^Gtime goes by^C
