Intro (x6): F5(I) D5 (D5*)
Verse 1:
Do you hear those distant voices
And sounds through the flames
RE5 RE5
The deafening drone
Of these clanking machines
In the lights
It's the same
RE5
We're trying to free
D5 (D5 palm mute)
The sculpture from the stone
We'll take the rhythm from the throne
If the radio is dying
Listen to me won't you listen to me
Chorus
SIb5
I don't want to lie in a bed of ashes
F5(II)
I don't want to burn in a midnight sun
DO5
I don't want to know if the system crashes
SOL5 LA5
I don't want to go if it's just begun
SIb5
I don't want to lie in a bed of ashes
F5(II) Intro (x4)
I don't want to burn in the midnight sun
In the midnight sun
Verse 2:
I scream like a madman in the morning
No one heard a thing
RE5 RE5
I had hoped for a more effective warning
No one felt the sting
D5 D5 (D5 palm mute)
Someone's savior never saved
Take it away 'till there's nothing left to say
The radio is dying
Listen to me
Won't you listen to me
Chorus
Bridge:
A#5 (palm mute)
Dancing like a child
Will we feel at all
Or just smile in another pretty prison
G5 (palm mute)
The wires frayed and broken free
(pick scrape down)
It's loud as hell but I don't want to listen
A#5 (palm mute)
Is existentialism so desperate?
(pick scrape up)
Condition may seem painful but it won't last
G5 (palm mute)
I just march, march
Sometimes I get the last laugh
SIb5 RE5
Machines and dreams
FA5 SOL5
To make the choices for you
SIb5 RE5
Machines and dreams
FA5 SOL5
I won't go out like that
SIb5 RE5
Machines and dreams
FA5 SOL5
To make the choices for you
SIb5 RE5
Machines and dreams--
RE5
I won't go out
Chorus (x2)
Ending (Intro x4)
