Em6-9/C A7sus4 Em A C Dadd9 G Conception to grave, from pharaoh to slave, we all take part in the game. G Em6-9/C G Em6-9/C G It's old, as it's sacred and lauded, by the fairest who champion its case. Em6-9/C A7sus4 Em A C Dadd9 G Can keep your feet grounded, leave others astounded, absolve when you fall from grace. Chorus Em6-9/C G Em6-9/C A7sus4 Every insult you cried, every time it's replied, every compliment you won't stand fine. Em6-9/C A7sus4 Em A C Dadd9 G We may think that we're free, in every degree, but we're just in a chain by design. Verse 2 G Em6-9/C G Em6-9/C G If the mind is able to reason, then surely I'm the one in control. Em6-9/C A7sus4 Em A C Dadd9 G But at em' oh at em' keep passing the baton, uncertainty taking its toll. G Em6-9/C G Em6-9/C G And I wish that I'd done something different, maybe I'm determined to rue. Em6-9/C A7sus4 Em A C Dadd9 G But this lit cigarette, means I still regret, I'm just predetermined to. Chorus Em6-9/C G Em6-9/C A7sus4 Every aspect of life, through elation and strife, this mortal coil's oddly divine. Em6-9/C A7sus4 Em A C Dadd9 G We may think that we're free, in every degree, but we're just in a chain by design. Em6-9/C G Em6-9/C A7sus4 Every footstep I place, every dream that I chase, can somewhere be chased down the line. Em6-9/C A7sus4 Em A C Dadd9 G You can influence me, but you'll always be, a product of things preassigned. Em6-9/C A7sus4 Em A C Dadd9 G We may think that we're free, in every degree, but we're just in a chain by design. C Dadd9 G We're just in a chain by design. ************************************ | h Hammer-on | p Pull-off | / Slide up | X Dead note | v Vibrato ************************************ CHORDS G 320022 Em6-9/C X32022 A7sus4 XX0233 Em X220XX A X0202X C X3201X Dadd9 X5403X
