Empire In My Mind Chords by The Wallflowers

_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ [Em] _ _
[C] _ _ [Em] There is trouble [C] in my mind.
_ [G] There is dark, there is dark and [C] there is light.
_ _ [Em] _ Lay your hands over [C] my eyes.
As [G] I look deep, through valleys [C] deep and wide.
[G] Across the [Am] borderline, [D] for the empire [E] in my mind.
_ _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _
You are the reason I [C] don't sleep.
You [G] are the light that's breaking through [C] the leaves.
_ _ [Em] _
You know how hard [C] I try to [G] believe I have something [C] good inside.
[G] Over barricades [Am] I climb, [D] for the empire in [Em] my mind.
I _ _ _ _ _ have known love somewhere [C] in time.
I've been [G] lifted up, I've looked honor in [C] the eyes.
_ _ [Em] I have no reason, I [C] have no right.
I cannot [G] deny, there's a darkness [C] that's inside.
[G] I am guilty by [D] design.
And now I [C] realize, [G] the temptations [Am] make me blind.
[D] To the empire in [Em] my mind.
There is no order, there [A] is chaos and there is crime.
[C] There is no word, home [B] tonight.
When you are higher [Em] in my mind. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ There is no distance [C] that I see.
_ I do [G] have a will, no limit to [C] my reach.
_ _ [Em] I wish I would, I [C] wish I might.
But see a [G] line tonight, separating wrong [C] from right.
[G] Some of the boys [D] should try, maybe that's the [C] reason why.
[G] I'm afraid someday [Am] I'll find, there [D] is no empire [Em] in my _ mind. _ _
