Verse 1
Am
Dm
I sit on overcast days,
Em
with my eyes glazed
Am
Amazed at the way
the sun rays
affect the maze
Dm
Em
Only God can take away my seed
Am
And only God can give
me back what I need
Dm
It doesn't matter
Em
cause we're anxiously awaiting
Am
Watching all the doctors
has my heart racing
Dm
What's that they're saying?
Em
I don't understand
Am
How can I describe
the feelings of the man
Dm
Who lost his children
Em
and since I've been building
Am
I'll see how she's feeling
since her memory is gone
Dm
Despite the killing
Em
I'll keep on fulfilling
Am
Cause I'm pushed to the city
but now it's a song
Dm
I'm on the streets,
Em
arms filled with grief
Am
Lost all my peace
when I found that God's a thief
Dm
Where's all the heat?
Em
My heart's become cold
Am
I'd rather choose death
than watch these problems unfold
Dm
I stroll through the heavens
Am
holding hands with my twins
Faith of God's forgiveness
and declared all my sins
Dm
Who's next to kin?
Am
His spirit all be gins
To die a fast death
is the only way I'll win
Dm
I'll spread the wings of my soul,
Em
catch the wind's breath
Am
Suggest a new life
since I'm consumed by death
Dm
Em
Walk in the flesh, you'd understand,
Am
I felt the fingertips slip
right down my hands
Dm
I don't even know if you
can hear me at all,
Am
I'm sitting in this bed
Em
with my hands upon the floor
Dm
Seems to me you
a million miles away,
Am
but it doesn't seem to matter
Em
what words I say
Dm
You're sitting in heaven up there,
Am
I don't even know if you care
Dm
You're sitting in heaven up there,
Am
I don't even know if you care
Em
Dm
I don't even know
who can hear me at all
Am
Two knees bent, hands on the floor
Dm
Seems to me you a million miles away
Am
It doesn't seem to matter
Em
what the words I say
Dm
You sitting in the heaven I fell
Am
Dm
Am
I don't even know if I care
Dm
God's eyes are closed,
he must have turned his back
Am
Now it's time for me to pick up the slack
Dm
But who am I to blame?
I'll probably do the same
Am
Change the rules of the game,
so I guess I can't complain
Dm
I try to tame the shame,
but the flames from my dame
Am
Never feel the same
since the saints that I became
Dm
That would've had my name,
but took my will to live
Am
Did more to this kid
than what a gunshot could give
Dm
No self -expression,
Em
my soul's in recession
Am
I'll take this mythic lesson
and finish my aggression
Dm
Shoot all the people,
Em
make them feel equal
Am
I'm overcome,
my evil can't stand what's at the steeple
Dm
The problem seems to be
Em
that my anger's what you make it
Am
I might as well be living
in the freezing winter naked
Dm
I'll take it, cause the anger
Em
makes you strong
Am
Let's all sing along till
we feel we belong
Dm
It doesn't matter if
your soul wants to listen
Am
It doesn't matter if
you lost all your vision
Dm
It doesn't matter if
Em
you're stuck inside a prison
Am
It doesn't matter if you got
the world wishing
Dm
It's your decision,
Em
we seem to make it clear
Am
How can we follow
when the boat's not being steered?
Dm
Captain, Captain,
Em
the ship's going down
Am
Captain, Captain,
she wears the Lord's crown
Captain, Captain, she blames it on me
Captain, Captain, the ship ain't out to sea
Dm
I don't even know if you can
feel me at all
Am
You've been handsome on the floor
Dm
She's a million,
you a million miles away
Am
Doesn't seem to matter
what words I say
Dm
You're sittin' in heaven up there
Am
I don't even know if you care
Dm
You're sittin' in heaven up there
Am
I don't even know if you care
Em
Dm
I don't even know if you
can feel me at all
Am
You've been handsome on the floor
Dm
She's me, you a million miles away
Am
It doesn't seem to matter
what words I say
Dm
She's sitting in the heaven I fell
Am
I don't even know if you care
Dm
I'm too close and too broke,
my heart chokes
Am
I soak in the sorrow
that is soaked in my soul
Dm
I fought on the road,
and fought what you stole
Am
I thought that they'd grow,
but it's not what you know
Dm
And it's not what you told,
so this life ain't to hold
Am
And all the silver and gold
can't fill up this hole
Dm
Long is the road, long is the road,
Am
long is the
Dm
Depression sets in, where's it going,
Am
how could this happen
If you're all knowing,
Dm
what do I pursue
when there's nothing left to do
Am
Hell became real, and where were you,
Dm
I knew I had it easy
I knew I'd touch the sky,
Am
I knew life would feed me
but I couldn't say bye
Dm
There's nothing worse
than missing the birth
Am
and I'll never stop searching
Since my life is cursed
Dm
and I might as well die
Cause I've lost lives high,
Am
and I'll never cry if I turn to suicide
Dm
I saw the footsteps,
taken with such care
Am
Why'd I lose the pair
that ripped my soul bare?
Dm
God's got your back,
but God must be frontin'
Am
Cause right before my eyes,
God told everything to nothin'
Dm
I lived my life through them,
so I could see
Am
When things fell apart,
still don't have to live through me
Dm
Every parent's a parent,
when it comes to peace
Am
I never was a parent,
cause my kids had to leave
Dm
It always seems to be
that you made your choice vital
Am
My spirit's been formed
like the sun hitting vinyl
Dm
My spinal cord stretched from
one God's edge
Am
Reaction so intense
I became a poor wretch
Dm
Far from a stretch,
my feelings so empty
Am
Considered pure joy
since it's what God sent me
Dm
I don't even know if you
can hear me at all
Am
You see me as a friend,
Em
hands on the floor
Dm
Seems to me you
a million miles away
Am
Doesn't seem to matter
what words I say
Dm
You sitting in heaven up there
Am
I don't even know if you care
Dm
But you sittin' in heaven up there,
Am
I don't even know if you care
Em
Dm
But you don't even know
if you can hear me at all
Am
Soon he's bent, hands up on the floor
Dm
Seems to me you a million miles away
Am
But it doesn't seem to matter
what words you say
Dm
But you sittin' in heaven up there,
Am
I don't even know if you care
Dm
Am
Dm
Am
Dm
I'm have a time
Am
Dm
I'm gonna have a good time
I'm gonna have a good time
Am
