Intro 1

Verse 1
F 
Dm 
Rattle through the cages,
Am 
Dm 
G 
amazed with this long lost
sense of purpose
C 
F 
Speechless, these words ring
Dm 
deep within the countryside
Am 
Dm 
To  the man on the street, city life
G 
Married with r -r -roots
dug deep into your bloodline
Dm 
Am 
As the scallywag's golden teeth
shines
when he speaks the truth
Dm 
Whether you're the working class
C 
or blessed with a silver spoon
Dm 
The same rules apply to you
Am 
in this game of gratitude
Dm 
As life is perceived
C 
through your eyes
Dm 
Diluted with so much emotion
Am 
Filtered through your sensations
Dm 
Driven by your interactions
and intentions
C 
Caught in a net of compassion,
Dm 
this equation
Creates manifestations
Am 
Dm 
that are living and breathing
C 
Now, what is real to you?
They say that life is people
Dm 
And that people are angels
Am 
And that angels are there for you
Dm 
They say that life is people
C 
And that people are angels
Dm 
And that angels are devils
F 
Am 
And  that devils are me and you
Dm 
They say that life is people,
C 
and that people are angels,
Dm 
and the angels are devils,
F 
G 
and the devils are there for you
Dm 
Fear fills the depths that stress
Visions of failure, thoughts of death
Am 
F 
It's a twisted train wreck
The crash, the pattern,
Dm 
the sounds you express
Am 
Like the coward,
G 
Em 
G 
Am 
devoured by the towers of fear I'm afraid
F 
G 
And I escape and I create and I relate
Am 
I'd feel the weight and
now I wait
Northbound, dumbfound,
F 
floating through space
G 
Reaching for my antidepressant
Am 
But I feel just a late, accepted mistake
F 
But these lessons won't play
until suppression and hate
G 
Boy you'll jealous, wait,
Am 
burn once again
Chasing dreams in nightmare
F 
Will our demons just fight fair?
G 
Uncontrollable despair
Am 
Bad ideas and blank stare
Save impressions that retain
Dm 
Public you unscathed
G 
Am 
and prepared for their glares
G 
F 
They say that life is people
G 
and that people are angels
And that angels are devils
and that devils are me and you
