[ riff ] ( root note )
( C ) ( D ) ( E ) ( E )
you’re building a ship with no sails ,
( C ) ( D ) ( E ) ( E )
and setting out to brave the open sea .
( C ) ( D )
you’re standing before your god ,
( G ) ( D )
but becoming something so far off .
( C ) ( D ) [ hold E ]
don’t you see the irony?
[ riff ]
( C ) ( D ) ( E ) ( E )
he gave me a train with no tracks .
( C ) ( D ) ( E ) ( E )
with no wood to build or burn for steam .
( C ) ( D )
despite all i lack ,
( G ) ( D )
the fighter will now turn his back ,
( C ) ( D ) [ hold E ]
don’t you see the irony?
C5
if the blind can see you ,
D5
and the lame can meet you ,
C5
would the dead embrace you ,
C5 D5
if you never gave them the means to
Em
believe?
C5 D5 Em
and that makes no sense to me . . .
C5
he gave me a voice that speaks out ,
D5
but paired it with a mind that’s filled
Em
with doubt .
C5 D5 G5
if i’m to find the sun , i need something more than
D5 C5 D5 Em
songs that pour , from this , cave of questioning .
C5 D5 Em
give me sand to build a home ,
C5 D5 Em
and watch all the walls fall on me .
C5 D5
i can’t change what i Am ,
G5 D5
the lions always kill the lambs ,
C5 D5 Em
but don’t you see the irony?
C5 D5 Em
don’t you see the irony?
C5 D5
if the blind can see you ,
C5 D5
and the lame can meet you ,
C5 D5
would the dead embrace you ,
C5 D5
if you never gave them the means to
Em
believe?
C5 D5 Em
and that makes no sense to me . . .
C5 D5
will i . . . embrace you? will you
C5 D5 Em
ever give me the means to believe?
C5 D5 . . .
answer me , please . . .
