Verse:
A5         D5
        An address to the golden door
A5            D5
        I was strumming on a stone again
A5              D5                           E5               
        pulling teeth from the pimps of gore when hatched
(run*)
D | -----------------
A | --7--5-----------
E | --------8--7-----
a tragic opera in my mind...

A5             D5
        and it told of a new design
A5               D5 
        in which every soul is duty bound
A5           D5                               E5
        to uphold all the statues of boredom therein lies
(run*)                C      
the fatal flaw of the red age

Chorus:
               F5                      C5          
Because it was nothing like we'd ever dreamt
             F5                           C5             
our lust for life had gone away with the rent we hated
               D5               F5                   G5          
and because it made no money nobody saved no one's life this time

verse:
So we burned all our uniforms 
and let nature take its course again 
and the big ones just eat all the little ones 
that send us back to the drawing board.

       C5  
In our darkest hours 
            G5
we have all asked for some  
         F5                                
angel to come                             
             C5         G5 
sprinkle his dust all around                                 
    C5                                G5                             
but all our crying voices they can't turn it around                
                F5                           A5  D5  A5  E5           
you've had some crazy conversations of your own.
