       A5
'Cuz I know that time has numbered my days
                         F~ F5          C5    Riff 1    C5    Riff 1
And I'll go along with everything you say
          A5
But I'll ride home laughing, look at me now
                          F~ F5             C5    Riff 1    C5    Riff 1
The walls of my town, they come crumbling down
       A5
And my ears hear the call of my unborn sons
                          F~ F5             C5    Riff 1    C5    Riff 1
And I know their choices color all I've done
         A5     
But I'll explain it all to the watchman's son
                            F~ F5             C5    Riff 1    C5    Riff 1
I never lived a year better spent in love


       A5      G5         F5       C5
'Cuz I know my weakness know my voice
    A5   G5          F5        C5          G~
So now believe in grace and choice
      A5      G5         F5       C5
And I know perhaps my heart is farce
    A5   G5          F5        C5          G~
But I'll be born without a mask

Woo!

         A5
Like the city that nurtured my greed and my pride
                    F~ F5          C5    Riff 1    C5    Riff 1
I stretch my arms into the sky
     A5
I cry Babel! Babel! Look at me now
                               F~ F5          C5    Riff 1    C5    Riff 1
Then the walls of my town, they come crumbling down
       A5
You ask where will we stand in the winds that will howl
                         F~ F5          C5    Riff 1    C5    Riff 1
As all we see will slip into the cloud
         A5
So come down from your mountain and stand where we've been
                         F~ F5          C5    Riff 1    C5    Riff 1
You know our breath is weak and our body thin


A5          F5              C5
  Press my nose up to the glass around your heart
A5             F5           C5
  I should've known I was weaker from the start
A5             F5                      C5       G5      F5
  You'll build your walls and I will play my bloody part
         C5     G5     C5
To tear, tear them down
                     A5  F5      C5
Well I'm gonna tear, tear them down

       A5      G5         F5       C5
'Cuz I know my weakness know my voice
    A5   G5          F5        C5          G5
So now believe in grace and choice
      A5      G5         F5       C5
And I know perhaps my heart is farce
    A5   G5          F5        C5          G5
But I'll be born without a mask
