_ _ _ _ And the world's their seat is waiting, and I think my head is [Bm] burning
And anyway I'm yearning to [D] be done with all this measuring [Dm] up
But I've got iron [F] as a brick, and anyway I'll go [C] through
And I'm not [Em] afraid to die
I've got the signs and catalog, I've got the tube, the skull, the fog
The walls are bad, black bottom of time, they are the secret of my mind
They are the secret of my _ _ _ _ mind
I've got _ _ _ _ this [E] _ _ _ _ _ _
story [Em] sprung from the tomb of Christ, born in a [E] cruel name
Just like some ragged stranger [D] died upon the cross
I've escaped defeat, no pity, [F] you can't wait
You must come to the [C] battery, or at least that's [Em] what I've been told
I feel my good hand tethered, even while I'm crossing brothers' fists
That's where they'll find, they did nothing to challenge their exist
And heaven is born, it's made of gold, it's all the dirt
[E] It's the road from which [D] I'm told, our history [Bm] doesn't hold
I'm [Dm] here, I'm made of wood and wire, [F] and my body is [F] on fire
[C] _
And God is never [E] far away
I came to the mercy, you gotta climb my head and shave my [Bm] head, it's wild
Like the moth that tries [D] to enter the bright eye
So I go [B] shuffling out of line, [F] just to hide in death a while
[C] _ Anyway, I [Em] need my good hand, it's got evil
And man, [E] that's good, since I lost something in Shetland
So I'm coming around like a rebel
And the mercy seed is a-burning, and I think my head is growing
Anyway, I'm hoping [D] to be done with all this wind off [Dm] the tree
And I've run out of [F] tooth for teeth, and I've got nothing [C] left to do
And I'm not [Em] afraid to die
The mercy seed is a [E]-growing, and I think my head is a-melting
Anyway, I'm hoping to [D] be done with all this twisting [Dm] of the tree
And I've run out [F] of tooth for tooth, and anyway, I saw [C] no fruit
And I don't know [E] why
The mercy seed is melting, and I think my blood is boiling
[Bm] And I'm ready to destroy all the [Dm] fun by all those tough sluts
And [F] I've run out of [C] tooth for tooth, and I've got nothing left to [C] do
And I'm not [E] afraid to die
And the mercy seed is a-waiting, and I think [E] my head is burning
Anyway, I'm yearning [D] to be done with [Dm] all this manger in the coop
And I've run out of [F] tooth for teeth, and anyway, that was [C] so cute And adorable [E] Why
The mercy seed is a-waiting, and I think my head is [Bm] burning
Anyway, I'm yearning to be done with all this manger in the coop
And I've run out [F] of tooth for tooth, and anyway, I've told [C] the truth
And I'm not [B] afraid to die
And the mercy seed is a-waiting, and I think my head is [Bm] burning
Anyway, I'm yearning [D] to be done with all this manger [Dm] in the coop
And I've run out of tooth [F] for tooth, and anyway, that [C] was so cool
And I'm not [E] afraid to die
And the mercy seed is a-waiting, and I think my head is [E] smoking
And anyway, I'm hoping [D] to be done with all these lumps of this [F] belief
And I've run out of tooth for tooth, and anyway, I've [C] told the truth
And I'm not afraid [Em] to die
And the mercy seed is a-waiting, and I think my head is burning
Anyway, I'm yearning to [D] be done with all this manger [Dm] in the coop
