Cause I know that time
has numbered my days

say
C#m
But I'll ride home laughing, look at me now
That the walls of my town,
A
they come crumbling
E
E
A
E

down
C#m
And my ears hear the call of my unborn sons
A
And I know their choices colour all I've
E
E
A
E
E
done
C#m
But I'll explain it all to the watchman's son
A
I ain't ever lived a year better spent in

Like the city that nurtured my greed

sky
C#m
I cry Babel! Babel! Look at me now
Then the walls of my town,
A
they come crumbling
E

down
C#m
You ask where will we stand
in the winds that will howl
A
As all we see will slip into the
E
E
A
E
E
cloud
C#m
So come down from your mountain
and stand where we've been
A
You know our breath is weak and our body
E

thin
