INTRO
Am E G D
VERSE
C#m/G#We touch the walls of a city streets, and
GDidn't explain
Sadly showed us our Dways
Of never asking Gwhy
C#m/G#Cast down, It was heaven sent, and
CTo the church no intent to repent
On my Emknees, just to Dcry
CHORUS
AmUntil you Etravel to that Gplace you can't come back D
AmWhere the last Epain is gone and Gall that's left is black D
VERSE
Bright nights cease coming to me, and
Some day
They'll punish my deeds, and they'll find
All the crimes
But then they ask when they going to see them
Then they're going to
Ask to feel the ghosts, the walls, the dreams
Oh, I've got mine
CHORUS
At last those coming came and they never looked back
With blinding stars in their eyes but all they saw was black
VERSE
Fooled them, hoping to seem
Like the sweat of evil,
But the product of greed, and
It's not a mask, so be honest with me
They can't afford to ignore that I'm the disease
Practical, since we had to be, and
When they were old they came back to me
And they tried, oh they tried
CHORUS
And when you follow through and wind up on your back
Looking at up no stars in the sky those white clouds have turned it black
