Key:
Intro: Am F C Em x4
Am See the daughter of Zion once
F precious princess
C Left her father's house to walk
Em streets that never rest
Am F Maybe they’ll hear me in the metropolis
C Em So I’m sending an SOS
Am Fighting with her “ta” she wants out
F of this mess
C And them big city lights might
Em brighten up the darkness
Am F You know that I’m tired and you know that I’m stressed
C Em You can’t stop me and you can’t stop this
Am You could call the police try to
F make an arrest
C Em Today is the day that I repossess
Am F Leaving on the first bus that I can get
C Now its rings around eyes sopping
Em wet from rain droplets
Am Window shopping for some solace no
F address and penniless
C That’s the price you pay for
Em running away from the stress
Am F Feeling the pain likes to dance by the DJ
C G Reminds me of a time when things were ok

Chorus:
Dm F Dm Frightened by her own shadow
F Dm G Now she wants to go home
C G Dm F G Many names for one G-d
Am G Dm F Trotting on, through the façade
C G You were all my children
Dm F G Got to dig for that feeling
Am G Dm Love will break down this
F concealment
Am F Strip away the serpent’s skin We came to win
C Em Dispatch the troops send out the captain
Am G My gem is held captive in the dungeon
C Em Don’t come back again till you end the mission
Am F If it takes a long time don’t lose the vision
C If you’re stuck check the
Em blueprint, look within
Am F Reflection, got to find the rhythm
C Em Won’t you please return child Where you been
Am She says I can’t come home because
F he won’t let me in
C Em And besides we don’t need no more friction
Am Used to look so nice, how’d you get so thin?
F And your heart's like ice, it’s a heart of sin
C Skin white like a ghost with a pale complexion
Em Pray to g-d for the dead we need resurrection
Am F Don’t you know wherever we go thick and thin
C Em You are still my children
Am F Since you’ve been gone my soul’s
C G been hurting Chorus Bridge: Am F C Em Chorus
Dm F Dm Wondering through this world
F Em G We are just boys and girls
C G Dm F G Many names for one G-d
Am G Dm F Trotting on, through the façade
C G You were all my children
Dm F G Got to dig for that feeling
Am G Dm Love will break down this
F concealment
