[Bm] .
[G] [D] .
[Bm] I know that time has numbered my days and I'll go [G] along with everything [D] you say.
But [Bm] I ride home laughing, look at me now, the walls of my town [G] they come crumbling [D] down.
And [Bm] my ears hear the call of my unborn sons and I know that choice [G] is color [D] all I've done .
But I'll [Bm] explain it all to the watchman's son, I ain't ever lived [G] a year better [D] spent in love .
[G] Cause I [D] know my [Bm] weakness, know my [G] voice and I'll [A] believe [Bm] in grace and [A] choice.
[G] And I [A] know [Bm] perhaps my [D] heart is [G] sparse [A] but I'll be born [Bm] without [A] a mind.
[D] .
[Bm] Like the city that nurtured my greed and my pride, I stretch [G] my arms [D] into the sky.
I [Bm] cry babel, babel, look at me now, the walls of my [G] town they come [D] crumbling down.
[Bm] You ask where will we stand in the winds that will howl, as all we [G] see will slip [D] into the ground.
So [Bm] come down from your mountain and stand where we've been, you know [G] our breath is weak and our [D] body bent.
Press [G] my nose up [D] to the glass around your heart, I should've [G] known [D] I was weaker from the start .
[G] You'll build your walls [Bm] and I will [A] play my bloody [G] part to tear, [D] tear my heart apart.
[Bm] Well I'm gonna tear, [D] tear them down.
Cause I know my weakness, know my voice and I'll [Bm] believe in [D] grace and [A] .
choice.
[G] And I [D] know [Bm] perhaps my [D] heart is [G] sparse but [D] I'll be [Bm] born [D] without a [A] mind.
