Lesson Zero

Bb             Dm                   Gm7
 Things can change in the pouring rain
         Ebmaj7   F      Bb
From the shadows, see it towering
         D Dm               Gm7
Half the light can fade away
           Ebmaj7 F        Bb
Face your shadow then you follow it
     Dm             Gm7       Ebmaj7 F
You follow it, you follow it, ooh, oh
Bb            Dm7           Gm7
 Half the light can fade away
           Ebmaj7  F
Face your shadow then you follow it

[Verse]
                  Gm7
They teach you to heed the word of a God who has never spoken
   F
To fear breaking the law when it's already broken
        Ebmaj7                 Eb
That to feel is to be weak, to suppress emotion
                                          F
So no one sees you had a heart till your chest is open
              Gm
They got you hating who you are, to sell you pills and fiction
F
Reachin' for the stars when you were born up there with 'em
Eb
Addicted to the news, views, superstitions
                                       F
To keep the visionaries glued to their televisions

[Pre-Chorus]
               Gm
They want you busy stepping to the right side of history
                      F
To keep you from the inside of history
                Eb
Give everyone a voice but leash 'em with the mic cord
                                                     F
Feed you things to fight about instead of things to fight for
           Bb
Teach you everything you want but nothing you need
          F             A7                   F7
That everything's got a price and nothing is free
             Gm
They'll turn everything to nothing then make you believe
          Eb                                 F
That everything is under control and there's nothing to see

[Chorus]
        Bb
No more lessons, please, take me back to zero
        F
No more teachers, no more prophets, no more heroes
        Gm
No more lessons, please, now I see the question to all answers
     Eb                       F            Bb
Will only bring me to my knees and back to zero
