intro Em Bm Em Bm Em Bm G A

ID sit at my taGble aCnd wage war on mysDelf IDt seGems like it's alCl...it's all for noDthing ID know the baGrricades, Cand I know the morDtar in the walDl breaks I recGognize the weapons,C I used them well D
Em Bm
TEmhis is my mistake. LBmet me make it good IEm raised the wall, and IBm will be the one to knock it dGown A
I've a rich understanding of my finest defenses I proclaim that claims are left unstated, I demand a rematch I decree a stalemate I divine my deeper motives I recognize the weapons I've practiced them well. I fitted them myself It's amazing what devices you can sympathize...empathize This is my mistake. Let me make it good I raised the walls, and I will be the one to knock it down

I lose track of where the chords occur over the words. They just switch between Am and C until the last part of this section...

RAmeach out for mCe and hold Amme tight. Hold that meCmory Let Ammy machine taClk to me. LAmet my machine tAalk to me G
This is my world And I am the world leader pretend This is my life And this is my time I have been given the freedom To do as I see fit It's high time I've razed the walls That I've constructed It's amazing what devices you can sympathize...emapathize This is my mistake. Let me make it good I raised the walls, and I will be the one to knock it down You fill in the mortar. You fill in the harmony You fill in the mortar. I raised the walls And I'm the only one I will be the one to knock it down

BDivide your cultured Apearls and Dpaste I'm looking for to lay to waste Of all the things I cannot taste This is not the wasted race They spoke loud

This song repeats these 8 measures throughout the verses: G / / / G / / / A7 / / / A7 / / / C / / / C / / / G / / / G / / /

I am not the type of dog That could keep you waiting For no good reason Run a carbon-black test on my jaw And you will find it's all been said before
IG can A7swing my megaphCone and long arm the reAmst It's eaAmsier and better To just beat it from the cheCst C Of desire G

verse

I could walk into this room And the waves of conversation are enough To knock you down in the undertow So alone so alone in my life Feed me banks of light And hang your hairshirt on the lowest rung It's a beautiful life And I can hang my hairshirt Away up high in the attic of the wrong dog's life chest Or bury it at sea All my life I've searched for this
Here I am here I am in your life It's a beautiful life My life It's a beautiful life Your life I REMEMBER CALIFORNIA Main Riff from _Guitar for the Practicing Musician_ Riff #2 from Chris Bray (cbray@comp.uark.edu) Riff #3 from Driver 9 (gt3677a@prism.gatech.edu)
