D5                D5      
  You and me of the 10,000 wars 
D5                  D5                       G5 
  Dividing life into factions of pleasures and chores 
         G5         D5          D5     
A bed to be made and a bed to lie in 
           G5          A5     A5             D5      D5    
A hand in the darker side, and our sights set on Zion 
 
The heart of a skeptic and the mind of a child 

Put my life in a box, and let my imagination run wild 

Pour the cement for my feet 

The heart and the mind on a parallel course, never the two shall meet 
 

     G5  G5        C5       G5          D5          D5     
And oh,  the dissatisfied with the satisfied 
     G5            G5     C5   G5          D5      D5   D5  D5 
Everybody loves a melodrama, and the scandal of a lie 
                G5      A5      A5          D5        D5     
Still you held your arms open for the prodigal daughter 
                   G5               A5   A5   D5       D5    
I see my eyes in your eyes through my eyes, still waters 
 
Try making one and one make one 

Twist the shapes until everything comes undone 

Watch the wizard behind the curtain 

The larger than life and the power of seeming certain 
 
The evil ego and the vice of pride 

Is there ever anything else that makes us take our different sides? 

I wanted everything to feed me 

About as full as I got was of myself, and the upper echelons of mediocrity 
 
And oh,  the dissatisfied with the satisfied 

Everybody loves a melodrama, and the scandal of a lie 

Still you held your arms open for the prodigal daughter 
                   G5               A5   A5   D5        D5     
I see my eyes in your eyes through my eyes, still waters 
       D5        D5     
Still waters 
 
After the battles and we're still around 

Everything once up in the air has settled down 

Sweep the ashes, let the silence find us 

A moment of peace is worth every war behind us 
D5                D5           D5         D5    D5 
  You and me of the 10,000 wars
