Intro: Am Am G My reaction, my response Am I'm a function in need of x G Ask me questions and I reply F I'm never first but I'm always next Am And we stare in our eyes F Never blinking and going dry Am Do you care more than I F Who will get the last word? Am And if we trace back the time F Who began with the first line? E7 In any case it's not mine Am Because these days I can only react Chorus: Am F C I'll never speak without your lead G Am And I'm your shadow; I react F C I'll be the gear between your teeth G Am When you're spinning, I react F C You are the neutron at lightspeed G Am Spring me open, I react F C But can I find the zero point I need? G Am Can I change it all and then take it back? It's so easy to shrink an inch Or is this room growing even more? And it's so easy to light a match When you've been burned once or twice before And when I swing blind in rage I'm in search of the first page And when I sing from the stage Who will get the last word? You're the one who creates All to which I retaliate But can I ever navigate Another path than to react? Chorus Am F C I'll find where aggression hides away G Am Where my own two hands hold sway F C It's a bright and beautiful new day G Am I will act, I will act F Your reaction, your relapse C Out of love will grow collapse G Something somewhere finally snaps Am And I will act, I will act Chorus
