[C#] I don't want to see what they've done to you.
[C] I don't want to live in my father's house [G] no more.
[Em] [G] Because the tide is [Em] high.
[G] As it rises [Em] still.
[C] And the door will see [G] it and my window will slip.

[Em] [G]
The door will see it [Em] and my window will slip.

The door will see it [Em] and my window will slip.

MTV would have saved my soul.
Set me free.
Set me free.
What have you done to me?
I can't breathe.
I can't see.
World War III.
When are you coming for me?
Been kicking out the Sparks.
Set the planes free.
The windows are locked now.
So what will it be?
A house on fire.
Or rising sea?
[Em] Why [G] is the night still?
[Em] [G] Why did I take the pill?
[Em] [C] Because I don't want to see [G] it and my window still.
[Em]
[G] I don't want to see it [Em] and my window still.
[C] [G] I don't want to see it and [Em] my window still.
