Intro riff x4
EmCG
And so now, now that you realize
CG
That planets are spheres with oil on the inside
CG
And your god is only a catapult
CG
Waiting for the right time to let you go
CGG/C
Into the unknown just to watch you hold your breath
AmG
Yeah and surrender your fortress
EmCG
And your thoughts will tumble like rocks do
CG
Over the valleys of factory oceans
C
The Turkish carpets are flapping
GAmG
As the wind drops you down to the surface
AmG
Yeah when you're looking for your sweet heart
EmCGCG
And you're, you're the kind to hide your eyes from the sun
CG
And in your world the strong survive
AmEmG
But I won't lay my body down
Intro riff x4
EmCG
Let me tell you, your arms are like boulders
CG
And your shoulders are cliffs, but your head keeps rolling off
CG
And your spine it is weak from the weight on your shoulders
AmG
And from difference of opinion
EmCG
There is a song you hear on the radio
CG
It's a funeral march so you change the channel
CG
But it's all you hear as you're driving up the 101
CG
From Mexico to California
AmGAmG
Yeah there's no snow when you're looking for your sweet heart
AmGAmG
There's no snow when you're looking for your answers
EmCGCG
Yeah you're, you're the kind to hide your eyes from the sun
CG
And in your world the strong survive
AmEmG
But I won't lay my body down
Intro riff x8
EmCGC
Yeah by the time they get your letter of explanation
G
You'll be dead and gone
CG
Barking up a new tree and eyeing up some new friends
CG
And scaring off the families while tidying up your loose ends
CG
Chasing squirrels around your property
CG
Making sure that they know that this is your kingdom
AmGAmG
And nothing will stop it, yeah nothing will stop it
AmGAmG
If nothing can stop it, yeah nothing will stop it
EmCGCG
And you're, you're the kind to hide your eyes from the sun
CG
And in your world the strong survive
AmEmG
But won't you lay your body down
EmCGC
Yes and now, now's the time to wrap your ears
GCG
Around the sounds of your train coming round
??? AmEmCG ???
But you don't have to lay everything down
