  Cm                             Bb 
I shake through the wreckage for signs of life 
                       Fm          Ab 
Scrolling through the paragraphs 
                     Cm           G 
Clicking through the photographs 
  Cm                         Bb 
I wish I could make sense of what we do 
                 Fm        Ab 
Burning down the capitals 
                  Cm        Bb 
The wisest of the animals 

PRE-Chorus 
Ab 
Who are you? 
             Bb       Ab 
What are you living for?

Tooth for tooth

Maybe we'll go one more

This life  
                   Bb 
is lived in perfect sbymmetry

That will be done to me 
  
VERSE: 
     Cm                 Bb 
Read page after page of analysis 
                Fm          Ab 
Looking for the final score 
                        Cm            Bb 
We're no closer than we were before 

PRE-Chorus: 
Ab 
Who are you? 
             Bb        Ab 
What are you fighting for?

Brother I choose this mortal....

                 Ab            Eb 
And maybe you'll find life is unkind

And over so soon 
            Ab 
There is no golden gate 
        Eb               Bb 
There's no heaven waiting for you 


                   Ab  
Oh boy, you oughta leave this town 
Bb 
Get out while you can 
             Eb                 Cm 
The meter's running down 
                   Abm 
The voices in the streets you love 
 Bb                            Eb 
Everything is better when you hear that shout 
 Cm       Fm 
Woah! 
 Eb      Cm 
Woah! 
  Bb
