Verse 1
Well (D major) the multitude as (F sharp minor) sembled
And tried (G major) to make the noise (D major)
Them black blind poet gen (F sharp minor) erals
And rest (G major) less loud white (A major) boys
Times (B minor) grew thin
And the (F sharp minor) axis grew (G major) somehow
incomplete (D major)
Where instead (G major) of child lions
We had (A major) aging junkie sheep (D major)

Verse 2
Well how (D major) many wasted
Have I seen signed (G major) "Holly

ghostly Arizona (G major) (A major) gusts
Cheer (B minor) leader tramps

Do you (A major) feel your muscles play

To every (B minor) gypsy mys (F sharp minor) tic hero

On their weekends (A major) out in space (D major)

Well sons (D major) they search for fathers
But the (G major) fathers are all (D major) gone
The lost souls search for saviors
(F sharp minor) But sa (G major) viors don't last (A major) long
Those (B minor) nameless (F sharp minor) quest
less renegade brats
Who (G major) live their lives (D major) in song
They (G major) run the length of a candle
With a goodnight whis (Asus4) per,
then they're gone (D major)

Now don't you (D major) grow on
empty legends
Or lonely (G major) cradle (B minor) (D major) songs
