[Bridge]
A C# F#m D E
If you want to believe everything you say
A D
It keeps you high and in control
A C# F#m D

In the end you’ll lack a stance on important subjects that you’ve lost

It’s like you’re out of control

A D
When you turn round, my head cracks
A D
Like it’s for the millionth time again
D
(Liberate the illiterate)
A D
You wanted to jump half a canyon
A D
I’m at least a companion to it all
D
(Liberate the illiterate)
A E
Liberate the illiterate
D
Liberate the illiterate
A E
Liberate the illiterate
D
Liberate the illiterate
