[Intro:]
      G                     G     
The position being taken is not to
                   G
 be mistaken for attempted
   D         G                     
education or righteous accusation. 
G                   G
Only a description, just
                       G     
an observation of the pitiful 
     G         G     G    G  G
condition of our degeneration.

[Verse:](played with ska upstrokes)
C                             
Walls made of opinions, through 
  F                  G
which we speak and never
           C                  
listen. Ceiling made of pride, 
    F                G
vicious and self-satisfied.
C                         F      
Door that's made of rage, hard 
          G      C
and slowly aged, always
                     F            
closing tighter with every war we 
G
wage.

[Chorus:]
        Bb                    F#  
In this room without a window 
      F    Bb
can't see out. Room without a
           F#             F
window, Can't see out! Can't see 
out!

[Verse:]
C                              F 
Floor is made of lives, we'll 
           G
gladly end to stay inside.
C                            F   
Corners made of borders, and 
             G
borders made of law and order.
C                       
Painted with the words of 
      F              G
politicians and religion,
C                                  
plastered with the wreckage of our 
F           G
cultural division.

[Chorus]

[Toast break:] (C - F repeated.)
Ha ha ha ha ha   Oh, we so stupid!  
Killing each other.
Don't we learn nothin'?
[Bridge:](2x) (continue C - F)
Got a room inside our minds, yeah we
 gotta, we can't see out because
we're blind, but I got to choke. 
Gotta make ourselves drink (all 
right)
from a room without a window to a 
different way to think.

[Intro]

Then play the verse chords, with the
 words from the chorus.
End on a C.
