G D C Em
There’s a darkness upon me that’s flooded in light
G D C Em
In the fine print they tell me what’s wrong and what’s right
G D C Em
And it comes in black and it comes in white
Em D C
And I’m frightened by those who don’t see it
G D C Em
When nothing is owed or deserved or expected
G D C Em
And your life doesn’t change by the man that’s elected
G D C Em
If you’re loved by someone, you’re never rejected
Em D C
Decide what to be and go be it
*Build up on C to go into the Chorus*
[Chorus]
C G C G
There was a dream and one day I could see it
C G D C D G
Like a bird in a cage I broke in and demanded that somebody free it
C G C G
And there was a kid with a head full of doubt
C G D C D
So I’ll scream ’til I die and the last of those bad thoughts are finally out
[Interlude] (x2)
