Tablature by Brandon Sackett

Notes Played over Chords:   G    F#  C    B           



          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 that 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       G--D--C--Em       
So I?ll scream til I die and the last of those bad thoughts are finally out


*Intro once more, just once*

       
          G        D               C          Em   
There?s a darkness upon you that?s flooded in light
           G               D               C                Em
And in the fine print they tell you what?s wrong and what?s right
       G        D          C        Em
And it flies by day and it flies by night
        Em            D                C 
And I?m frightened by those that don?t see it


-Chorus-
