A
Well they come and pull me from my house
D
And they drag my body through the streets
E D
And the sun?s so hot I think I?ll catch fire and burn up
A
in the summer air so moist and sweet
A
And the people all come out to cheer
D
Rocks in the pathway break my skin
E D
And there?s honeysuckle on the faint breeze today
A
With every breath I?m drawing in
F#m D
I want to cry out but I don?t scream and I don?t shout
A D
And I feel so proud to be alive
A E D
And I feel so proud to when the reckoning arrives

Crowds grow denser by the second
D
As we near the center of the town
E D
And they dig a trench right in the main square right there
A
And they pick me up and throw me down
A
And I start laughing like a child
D
And I mark their faces one by one
E D
Transfigurations gonna come for me at last
A
And I will burn hotter than the sun
F#m D
I waited so long and now I taste jasmine on my tongue
A D
And I feel so proud to be alive
A E D
And I feel so proud when the reckoning arrives
Riff 4x
