AmEm
Don't believe what you hear
AmEm
Don't believe what you see
AmEm
If you just close your eyes
AmEm
You can feel the enemy
AmG
When I first met you girl
FEm
You had fire in your soul
AmG
What happened your face
FEm
Of melting snow?
C
Now it looks like this
Am
And you can swallow, or you can spit
FG
You can throw it up, or choke on it
C
And you can dream
Am
So dream out loud
FGAm
You know that your time is coming 'round
FG
So don't let the bastards grind you down
Intro chords: AmEmAmEm
No, nothing makes sense
AmEm
Nothing seems to fit
AmEm
I know you'd hit out
AmEm
If you only knew who to hit
AmG
And I'd join the movement
FEm
If there was one I could believe in
AmG
Yeah I'd break bread and wine
FEm
If there was a church I could receive in
C
'cause I need it now
Am
To take a cup, to fill it up
FG
To drink it slow, I can't let you go
CAm
I must be an acrobat
FG
To talk like this, and act like that
CAm
And you can dream, so dream out loud
FG
And don't let the bastards grind you down
Intro Chords: AmEmEm
Oh, it hurts baby
(What are we going to do now it's all been said)
(No new ideas in the house and every book has been read)
CAm
I must be an acrobat
FG
To talk like this, and act like that
CAm
And you can dream, so dream out loud
FG
And you can find, your own way out
CAm
You can build, and I can will
FG
And you can call, I can't wait until
CAm
You can stash, and you can seize
FG
In dreams begin, responsibilities
CAm
And I can love, and I can love
FGAm
And I know that the tide is turning 'round
FGAm
So don't let the bastards grind you down
