_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [E] Why did you steal the matches from the one-room motel?
_ Once they gave you answers
Now they give you hell
They will never understand they wonder where did they go wrong?
_ How could you be so selfish?
Why can't you get along and as you [F#] pray?
_ _ [A] in your darkness
_ [E] for
Wings to set [A] you free
You [F#] are bound
Through [A] your silent
_ [E] legacy _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
_ _ _ You've [E] seen it in the movies and heard it on the [E] street
Craving the affection [B] your blood is full of heat.
They don't listen to your reasons as original as sin
Deny all that you feel and they will bring you home again and as you [F#m] pray
in your darkness [E] _ for
[E] Wings to set [A] you free
[F#m] You are bound
your silent
_ [E] _ Legacy
_ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
No one told me what you feel [B] the empty aching hours
_ Trying to conceive
[E] The natural progression is the coming of your age
[B] But they cover it with shame [A] and turn it into rage and as [F#m] you pray
in your darkness
_ [E] _
Wings to set you free
[F#m] You are bound
your silent
[E] _ legacy
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ _ [B] _ [E] You are begging for the answers until your fingers bleed
[B] To satisfy the hunger
To satiate the need and they [E] feed you on the guilt to keep you humble keep you low
[B] Some man in me they made up a thousand years ago [A] as [F#m] you pray
[F#] In [A] your darkness
[E] for _ wings to [A] set you free
You [F#m] are bound
to your silent
_ [E] legacy _
_ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [E] Let's tell your children
be quick you must be strong
[A] Life is full of wonder
Love is never wrong
[E] Remember how they taught you
How much of it was fear
[A] Refuse to hand it down The legacy
of the past
[E] Stops here _
