                                   A
Well they come and pull me from my house
                                  D
And they drag my body through the streets
                                  E              D
And the sun’s so hot I think I’ll catch fire and burn up
                               A
in the summer air so moist and sweet
                               A
And the people all come out to cheer
                              D
Rocks in the pathway break my skin
                               E            D
And there’s honeysuckle on the faint breeze today
                              A
With every breath I’m drawing in
          F#m                 D
I want to cry out but I don’t scream and I don’t shout
           A              D
And I feel so proud to be alive
           A  E                 D
And I feel so proud to when the reckoning arrives
A   D X2
                          A
Crowds grow denser by the second
                             D
As we near the center of the town
                                   E                 D
And they dig a trench right in the main square right there
                                 A
And they pick me up and throw me down
                            A
And I start laughing like a child
                              D
And I mark their faces one by one
                       E              D
Transfigurations gonna come for me at last
                                A
And I will burn hotter than the sun
         F#m                     D
I waited so long and now I taste jasmine on my tongue
           A              D
And I feel so proud to be alive
           A  E              D
And I feel so proud when the reckoning arrives
A   D
