^EmNow the pale morning ^Gsings of ^Dforgotten ^Emthings ^EmShe plays the tune fo^Gr those who wish to^Em overlook ^EmThe fact that ^Gthey've been ^Dblindly d^Emeceived ^EmBy those who p^Greach and^D pray and t^Emeach ^EmAnd she falls short and t^Ghe night explodes in ^Emlaughter

^EmDon't you come here and ^Gsay I d^Didn't warn ^Emyou ^EmAbout the way your ^Gworld can ^Emalter ^EmAnd oh how ^Gyou try to ^Dcommand it all ^Emstill ^EmEvery single time it all ^Gshifts one way or the ^Emother

^CAnd I'm a ^Ggoddamn ^Dcoward but then again so are ^Emyou ^CAnd the ^Glions ^Droar, the lions ^Emroar ^CHas me ^Gevading and ^Dhollering for ^Emyou C G D(strum once) Em And I never really knew what to do

^EmNow I ^Gguess some^Dtimes I wish y^Emou were ^Ema litt^Gle more ^Empredictable ^EmThat I could ^Gread you ^Djust like a ^Embook ^EmFor now I can ^Gonly guess w^Dhat's coming ^Emnext ^EmBy examining your ^Gtimid ^Emsmile ^EmAnd the ways of ^Gthe old^D old ^Emwind ^EmBlowing ^Gyou back ^Emround
