Intro: A5

A5                  G5
My reaction, my response
                            A5
I'm a function in need of x
                         G5
Ask me questions and I reply
                                F5
I'm never first but I'm always next
                     A5
And we stare in our eyes
                          F5
Never blinking and going dry
                      A5
Do you care more than I 
                            F5
Who will get the last word?
                           A5
And if we trace back the time
                               F5
Who began with the first line?
                          E5
In any case it's not mine
                                A5
Because these days I can only react

Chorus:

A5           F5                 C5
I'll never speak without your lead
               G5         A5
And I'm your shadow; I react
             F5                 C5
I'll be the gear between your teeth
             G5              A5
When you're spinning, I react
              F5               C5
You are the neutron at lightspeed
            G5          A5
Spring me open, I react
                    F5            C5
But can I find the zero point I need?
                 G5                     A5
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


      A5           F5               C5
I'll find where aggression hides away
          G5                  A5
Where my own two hands hold sway
                    F5             C5
It's a bright and beautiful new day
        G5           A5
I will act, I will act
                        F5
Your reaction, your relapse
                           C5
Out of love will grow collapse
                              G5
Something somewhere finally snaps
                        A5
And I will act, I will act
