Introduction: D D D/F# G G Bm A A D/F# G G
D
There's no more rails to lay
Bm
No more games to play
G D
You've found your all-time low
A
No more
D
Gold will galvanize your dream
Bm
Or heighten your esteem
G D A
You're back to where you started off long ago
G A
Just waiting here for the unknown to show
D D/F# G
When the bird of prey took hold of your heart
G Bm A
And it ate the centrepiece part by part
D/F# G
Every vein froze in icy silence
D D/F# G
And when the bird of prey was done picking holes
G Bm A
In the body that still hosted your soul
D/F# G
There's only you and your false pretence
D
Your days of youth have gone
Bm
You lived the dream for so long
G D A
And never cared for lives beyond your own
D
No tears were ever shed
Bm
When the world around you bled
G D A
You just watered the devastating seeds you'd sown
D D/F# G
When the bird of prey took hold of your heart
G Bm A
And it ate the centrepiece part by part
D/F# G
Every vein froze in icy silence
D D/F# G
And when the bird of prey was done picking holes
G Bm A
In the body that still hosted your soul
D/F# G
There's only you and your false pretence
A G
Suddenly perspectives had changed
G A
Your mind evolved from set to deranged
A G
The bitter taste of your own medicine
G
What a sin
D
