Em
I've been misplaced in so many ways
A#m                                   Em
Broken battlegrounds, hiding veils of delicate deceit
    Am
Yet here I breathe
Em
Teeth still gleam from holy water
      C
While millions of lambs migrate to the slaughter
   B                    Em                    Am
My head in a bag and my hands are bound to my feet
D
And voices sing:
B
"Were we erased like common thieves?
Em
Tossed in a cell to feast with the fleas
B                                  C
All because we never had written a word."
            G
What will I see, tonight in these eyes
    D                         C             
And what will i know when the morning comes?
Em  D           G
    What will I see, tonight in these eyes
    D                         C             Em  D
And what will I know when the morning comes?
B                                       Em
Must we remind of exchanges existing so long ago?
B
Would we arrive at agreeable musings
Em             D
Sentimental or just confusing
   B
We lost what we had but we took it back
Am                     G          Em
Friends in the gutter, enjoy one another
     B                                                C
Just give yourself to the dust and the dirt where you stand
            G
What will I see, tonight in these eyes
    D                         C             
And what will i know when the morning comes?
Em  D           G
    What will I see, tonight in these eyes
    D                         C             
And what will I know when the morning comes?
    Em  D       Am
I'm not who you think I am
              C                   B
And even if I thought you'd known
                   Am
I never would have told you so
    G
And more alarming
             C        A    D
I would have done the very same
           C          A         D
Would have stole more than your name
           C          A          D             Am
Would have cursed and bought the world on your shoulders
             B
I was in the wrong place
At the right time
    Em         D         G
And what's the worst I'd see
                                C
By giving myself to the earth below me
    Em          D       G                             C
Not knowing how far I'd fall, by casting away the ordinary
     G        D     G                                    C
Just how long can I stay in illusions formed here long before me?
    G        D     G                                   C
And how long can I breathe this stolen breath here underneath?
Em                                      C
  There's that subtle smile that did me in
D   Em
She moves...
           C
An agony reminds where I've been
D   Em
She breathes
                    C
"I'd never let this happen again."
Am                 Em
Where's your heart?
C             G
Mimicking the patriarch
Am            C
She's naive...
