[ verse 1 ]
G
we took a vow in summertime
C
now we find ourselves in late december
G
i believe that new year’s eve will be the perfect time
C
for their great surrender , but they don’t remember

[ pre – chorus 1 ]
D G C Cmaj7
anger wants a voice , voices wanna sing
D G C Cmaj7
singers harmonize , till they can’t hear anything
D G C Cmaj7
i thought that i was free , from all that questioning
D G C
but every time a problem ends , another one begins

[ chorus 1 ]
D G C
and the stone walls of harmony hall bear witness
D G C
anybody with a worried mind could never forgive the sight
D G C
of wicked snakes inside a place you thought was dignified
D G C
i don’t wanna live like this , but i don’t wanna die

D G C
ooh – ooh oooh , ooh – ooh , ooh ooh – ooh
D G C
ooooh , ooh – ooh , ooh – oooh
D G C
oooh , ooh – ooh , ooh ooh – ooh
D G C
i don’t wanna live like this , but i don’t wanna die

[ verse 2 ]
G
within the halls of power lies
C
a nervous heart that beats like a young pretender’s
G
beneath these velvet gloves i hide
C
the shameful crooked ends of a moneylender , ’cause i still remember

[ pre – chorus 2 ]
D G C Cmaj7
anger wants a voice , voices wanna sing
D G C Cmaj7
singers harmonize , till they can’t hear anything
D G C Cmaj7
thought that i was free , from all that questioning
D G C
but every time a problem ends , another one begins

[ chorus 2 ]
D G C
and the stone walls of harmony hall bear witness
D G C
anybody with a worried mind could never forgive the sight

of wicked snakes inside a place you thought was dignified

i don’t wanna live like this , but i don’t wanna die
