D#m C#
i’m putting your patience to the test .
D#m C# G#
i’m putting your body on the line , for less .
D#m C#
and didn’t you know there was a choice?
D#m C# G#
it’s never yours but someone else’s voice .

D#m C#
slippin’ your body through the street .
D#m C# G#
i’m sending your girlfriends to the night , for cheap .
D#m C#
wearing a jacket made of meat .
D#m C# G#
sending a letter waved with walls so sweet .
G#
and now you’ve heard that . . .

chorus

D#m G#
waves turn to grey .
D#m G#
life in the shade .
D#m G#
a violent cloud .
D#m G#
and that’s on usa .
D#m G#
running for the rights ,
D#m G#
sleep into the sky .
D#m G#
i’m just trying’ to find . . .
D#m G#
a mountain i can climb .

D#m – C# – D#m – C# – G#

D#m C#
i’m putting your patience to the test .
D#m C# G#
i’m putting your body on the line , for less .
D#m C#
and didn’t you know there was a choice?
D#m C# G#
it’s never yours but someone else’s voice .
G#
and now you’ve seen that . . .

chorus

D#m G#
waltz on the grey .
D#m G#
life in the shade .
D#m G#
a violent cloud ,
D#m G#
and that’s on usa .
D#m G#
born on the rise .
D#m G#
circles in the skies .
D#m G#
i’m just tryin’ to find . . .
D#m G#
a mountain i can climb .

G# – D#m – G# – D#m

G# D#m
tell us , are you gonna tell us?
G#
why do we feel so jealous?
D#m
why do we feel so silent?
G#
why is it always silent?
D#m
( i didn’t want to ask you baby ,
G# D#m G#
i didn’t want you to suffer , and everybody is singing . . . . )
D#m – G# – D#m
D#m – C#
D#m C# G#
why are you waiting? by the door . . .

chorus

D#m G#
life turns to dust ,
D#m G#
and when it turns to rust .
D#m G#
gossip is a truth .
D#m G#
a little bit for the lie you took .
D#m G#
and why do you look surprised?
D#m G#
ever since i’m in the skies .
D#m G#
i’m just tryin’ to find ,
D#m G#
a place for you and i .

G# – D#m – G# – D#m

i apologize for any wrong lyrics .

if you prefer something a little easier with a capo , then put it on the 4th fret .
play the D#m as A Bm
the C# as an A
and the G# as an E , i believe .

that’s about it , i did this by ear so if you guys think something’s off , please comment ,
and enjoy!
