C5
Living in fear because the world is cold
     A5
And hope might be coming but you never know.
          C5
There are dead end streets around every turn.
      A5                                         C(strum once)
And a road map too beaten up, torn, and burnt to read.

C5
Dead weight carried on for miles and miles.
    A5
And someone's telling jokes but you never smile,
       C5                                 A5
As the rows of tombstone houses pass you by.
    C5
And I say, you say, we say change.
    A5
But we all know just what they say.
    C5                                         A5
The more things change the more they stay the same.
                   C(strum once)
They just stay the same.

This time it's eating me alive.(strum between C and Am a couple times)


start strumming the C and Am for this verse
       C5
It's a long cold winter in the dead of night.
        A5
And the candidates are saying they can make it right.
    C5                                   A5
And we'll buy almost anything that they sell.
C5
Drop dead headlights coming down the road.
          A5
And we're frozen blind

Believing in a heart of gold that will
C5                                   A5
Swoop right in and save us from our sins.
                 C(strum once)
Save us from our sins.

     F5                     E5
On a sidewalk in a city somewhere
  A5          F5                  E5        G5
Seconds from thundering steps and ten ton shoes.
