[Verse 1]
Em D G
You were shot down for banging on sidewalks, waking up sovereign states
Em D G
Raking up graves and wasting your common grace
G D Em D
Creatures outside were posting your face up, dreaming of shadowplay
Em D G
If you could straighten that spine you got a way to decide your fate
[Chorus]
G D A
Instead of breaking your silence, you could be the same way
G
And keep your favors to yourself, but
D A
They could see in your eyes there's not a thing they could say so
[Verse 2]
Em D G
Holding on tight to places you remember, keeping your story straight
Em D G
Taking your time with friends you invite to your wake
G D Em E
You were so tired of waking up, shaking, facing your passing days
Em D G
Rolling in circles, hoping the fever would break
[Chorus]
G D A G
Instead of breaking your word you can pay to make sure they never back the train up, but
G D A
They can read in your mind, you've got a reason to stay so
G D A
Instead of breaking your silence you could be the same way
G
And keep your favors to yourself, but
D A
They could see in your eye there's not a thing they could say so
[Interlude]

[Chorus]
G D A G
Instead of breaking your word you can pay to make sure they never back the train up, but
G D A
They can read in your mind, you've got a reason to stay so
G D A
Instead of breaking your silence you could be the same way
G
And keep your favors to yourself, but
D A
They could see in your eye there's not a thing they could say so
G D A G
Instead of breaking your word you can pay to make sure they never back the train up, but
G D A
They can read in your mind, you've got a reason to stay so
