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


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

Woo!

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


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

       Am      G         F       C
'Cuz I know my weakness know my voice
    Am   G          F        C          G
So now believe in grace and choice
      Am      G         F       C
And I know perhaps my heart is farce
    Am   G          F        C          G
But I'll be born without a mask
