[G]
[D] I
[Bm] know that time has numbered my days and I go [G] along with [D] everything you say
[Bm] But I write home laughing, look at me now, that the [G] walls of my town, they come crumbling [D] down
And [Bm] my ears hear the call of my unborn sons, and I know that choice [G] is color all out
[D] 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
I know my [Bm] weakness, know my voice, and I'll believe in grace and [A] joy
[G] And I know perhaps my heart is [G] fars, but I'll be born [F#m] without a [A]
[D] mind
[Bm] Like the city that nurtured my greed and my pride, I stretch [G] my arms [D] into the sky
[Bm] I cry, Babel, Babel, look at me now, that the walls of my [G] town, they come [D] crumbling down
[Bm] You ask where will we stand in the winds that will howl, it's all we [G] see, we'll slip [D] into the ground
So [Bm] come down from your mountain and stand where we've been, you know our breath [G] is weak and our [D] body's thin
Press my nose up to the glass around your heart, I should've [G] known I [D] was weaker from the start
You'll build your [G] walls and I will [A] play my bloody [G] part to tear, [D] tear them
[Bm] Well I'm gonna tear, [G] tear [D] them down
Cause I know my weakness, know my voice, and I'll believe in [D] grace and [A] joy
And I [D] know perhaps my heart is fars, but I'll be [Bm] born without a [A] mind
[D]
[D] I
[Bm] know that time has numbered my days and I go [G] along with [D] everything you say
[Bm] But I write home laughing, look at me now, that the [G] walls of my town, they come crumbling [D] down

I know my [Bm] weakness, know my voice, and I'll believe in grace and [A] joy
[G] And I know perhaps my heart is [G] fars, but I'll be born [F#m] without a [A]
[D] mind
[Bm] Like the city that nurtured my greed and my pride, I stretch [G] my arms [D] into the sky
[Bm] I cry, Babel, Babel, look at me now, that the walls of my [G] town, they come [D] crumbling down
