G

G
somewhere back in the middle of town
the locals cracked and smacked me 'round
     C
they offered work well I turned it down
     G                                Am  C
the handcuffs hurt, who's laughing now?

             G   C             G
knock on my door, the way you once did
                 C       G
knock on my door, after sunset
         Am  C  D         G
we won't wait the way we once did
           C               G
and those fears he kept inside
           C            G
they were here to testify
          C               G
that the man just ain't alive to find
     Am                 D
the will that stayed behind

G

G
well somewhere off in the middle of space
    C
explosions fall and begin the chase
          G
for the spirit from a humble face
     C                              Am  C
who bid the call of the heavens haste

             G   C            G
knock on my door, the way you used to
                 C                G
knock on my door, if you should choose to
         Am  C  D         G
we won't wait unless you want to
         C                 G
and the battered bleeding ties
       C               G
won't bid us dear goodbyes
          C                  G
and the shackles we've been binded by
       Am         D
won't pay us any mind
             G  C  G  C  G
knock on my door
