[Em]
[A] [Em] [C#m] [C#] Darkness at the [E] break of noon, shadows even the [Em] silver spoon
A hand made blade, the [A#m] child's balloon, [C#] eclipses both the sun and [C] moon
Do you understand, you know too soon, there is no [E] sense in trying
[A]
[E] Point [Em] [E]
[C#m] of [Em] threat, say bluff was scorned, suicide remarks are torn
[G] From the fool's gold mouthpiece, a hollow [C#] horn, plays wasted words
Proved to [C] warn, that he not [Em] busy being born, is busy dying
[E] Temptation [Em]
[A] [Em] [C#] page flies out the door, [E] you follow, find [G] yourself at war
Watch water falls, [C#] pit it raw, you feel to moan, [C] but unlike before
You discover that you [E] just be one more [Em] person crying
So [E]
don't fear, [B] when you hear, [E] a foreign [A] sound to your ear
It's [F#m] alright ma, [B] [E] I'm only saying
[Em]
[C#] A question in your [E] nerves is lit, yet you know there is no [G] answer fit
To satisfy, ensure you're [Em] not to quit, you keep [C#] it in your mind and [C] not forget
That it is not he or she [Em] or them or it, but you belong to
[Em]
[E] Although the masters [B] make the rules
[E] For the wise men [A] and the fools
[F#m] I've got nothing [B] more [E] to live up to
[Em]
[C#] For them that must obey [Em] authority, that they do not respect [G] in any degree
Who despise their jobs, [C#m] their destiny, speak jealously of them that are free
[C] Do what they do, just to be nothing [E] more than something they invest in
