Lesson Zero

Bb             Dm                
 Things can change in the pouring
   Gm7
 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       
You follow it, you follow it, 
Ebmaj7 F
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
Continues after the ad
        Ebmaj7                
That to feel is to be weak, to 
 Eb
suppress emotion
So no one sees you had a heart till 
      F
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
To keep the visionaries glued to 
      F
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
Feed you things to fight about 
                      F
instead of things to fight for
           Bb
Teach you everything you want but 
nothing you need
          F             A7        
That everything's got a price and 
           F7
nothing is free
             Gm
They'll turn everything to nothing 
then make you believe
          Eb                       
That everything is under control 
          F
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   
Will only bring me to my knees and
         Bb
 back to zero
