[Verse]
G                          D/F#
Hey, don't I know you from some other life
         Em                        D
You were wide-eyed and green and a little bit taller
        C                Bm               A    D/F#
And you didn't look away    when spoken to
       G
Do you still take two sugars
    D/F#
You seem a little tense
      Em                        D
And I can't help but notice how hard you appear
       C                   Bm           A   D/F#
When I look into your eyes    a violent blue
       D               Em
Was it sudden, was it clean
             C
Were there a lot of shades in between?

[Chorus]
          C G    C G
Step away
          C G    C G
Let off
             C G    C G
Throw it down
                  C G    C G
And lose yourself.

[Verse]
G                       D/F#
Hey, are you with me or don't you recall
         Em                    D
When the perfume of belief was all we needed
C                        Bm            A      D/F#
  It's was all we needed    to set our sights
   G                          D/F#
So when did you throw out the rest of the world
Continues after the ad
Em                        D
Deaf from the din of your self-righteous babble
C                             Bm
   I think you've been blinded
            A     D/F#
by your own light
       D               Em
Was it hatred?  Was it pride?
           C
Or did you just have a lot to hide?

[Chorus]
          C G    C G
Come away
          C G    C G
Throw down
             C G    C G
Let it burn
                  C G    C G
And lose yourself.

Am   Em

[Bridge]
Am                  Em
Passion to ashes to smoldering ruin
Am
Bathed in your violence
D
   Are you in there
B
    Are you in there

[Verse]
     G              D/F#
Am I boring you?  I could say more
        Em                       D
We were headed for somewhere but that was before
        C                          Bm      A  D/F#
You traded in your peace sign for a finger.
      G                        D/F#
And I don't believe it was the way you were raised
       Em                        D
Or the cards you were dealt or a poor self image.
            C                   Bm   A  D/F#
I think you love yourself too much.
          D                   Em
You wanna rule some sovereign state.
          C
You wanna smother with all that hate.

[Chorus]
          C G    C G
Get away
          C G    C G
Lay down
             C G    C G
Strip it off
                  C G    C G
And lose yourself.
