Cease

Am G E...


 Am      G        F     C  C/B
Blacktop pavement cover me
       Am                    
Like a chemical reaction or a 
  Dm           F              G
steamroller, spreading randomly
           Am       G        
There's a distant buzz and low 
  F      C
frequency
    Am        G             F    
It tickles my ears, rumbles under
    C   C/G
 my feet
         Dm        Dm/F       
And it shakes the leaves off of 
    C      G
every tree
F    C   G
Vio-lent-ly
        Am        G           Dm
What pretention! everlasting peace
   F F/F#  G   G/G#   Am
  Eve-ry-thing must cease

Am      G       F     C   C/B
In-sti-tu-tion on the hill
Am                              
Like a beacon in the mind of an 
Dm            F                G
ancestor to ignite a people's will
          Am      G           F  
There's a shadow stain on the 
     C
west facade
        Am           G          F
It has spread like decay to 
         C   C/G
enshroud the fraud
         Dm   Dm/F          C     
and the descendents find it oh so 
G    F  C   G
odd, oh so odd
        Am        G           Dm
What pretention! everlasting peace
   F F/F#  G   G/G#   Am
  Eve-ry-thing must cease

Am       G       F          C   C/B
Grave memorial, hewn white stone
           Am                  
Like the comforting caress of a 
 Dm           F                
mother or a friend you've always 
   G
known
    Am          G          F   C
It evokes such pain and significance
Am                G      
What was once is reduced to 
   F      C    C/G
rememberence
        Dm          Dm/F         
And the generations pass without 
C    G
recompense
F   C    G
Oh- Oh - Ohh

      Am        G           Dm
What pretention everlasting peace

  Eve-ry-thing must...   cease.
