D                D      
  You and me of the 10,000 wars 
D                  D                       G 
  Dividing life into factions of pleasures and chores 
         G         D          D     
A bed to be made and a bed to lie in 
           G          Asus9     A             D      D    
A hand in the darker side, and our sights set on Zion 
 
The heart of a skeptic and the mind of a child 

Put my life in a box, and let my imagination run wild 

Pour the cement for my feet 

The heart and the mind on a parallel course, never the two shall meet 
 

     G  G        C       G          D          D     
And oh,  the dissatisfied with the satisfied 
     G            G     C   G          D      D/E   D/F#  D/A 
Everybody loves a melodrama, and the scandal of a lie 
                G      Asus4      A          D        D     
Still you held your arms open for the prodigal daughter 
                   G               A   Asus4   D       D    
I see my eyes in your eyes through my eyes, still waters 
 
Try making one and one make one 

Twist the shapes until everything comes undone 

Watch the wizard behind the curtain 

The larger than life and the power of seeming certain 
 
The evil ego and the vice of pride 

Is there ever anything else that makes us take our different sides? 

I wanted everything to feed me 

About as full as I got was of myself, and the upper echelons of mediocrity 
 
And oh,  the dissatisfied with the satisfied 

Everybody loves a melodrama, and the scandal of a lie 

Still you held your arms open for the prodigal daughter 
                   G               A   Asus4   D        D     
I see my eyes in your eyes through my eyes, still waters 
       D        D     
Still waters 
 
After the battles and we're still around 

Everything once up in the air has settled down 

Sweep the ashes, let the silence find us 

A moment of peace is worth every war behind us 
D                D           D         D    D4 
  You and me of the 10,000 wars
