Key: A
Introduction: A F#m D A E
A F#m
Your help is on the way
D A E
just sing yourself a song and wait
A F#m
nothing was promised in the first place
D A E
but we?ll suffer for as long as we can take
Bm F#m E
then the suffering, one way or the other
A
it will go away
A F#m D A E
A F#m
it's quiet and you wake
D A E
you make the bed for two you always make
A F#m
though half empty from some days before he lay down on the kitchen floor
D A E
you struggled but you could not afford the weight
Bm F#m E
and in a senseless moment everything you're working toward
A E
was taken away
A
so you sold everything you didn't want
F#m
you sold everything you didn't want
Bm F#m E
oh you sold everything you didn't want saved
A
and you sold everything you didn't want
F#m
And you sold everything you didn't want
Bm F#m E
and what you couldn't sell you gave away
D A E
now you've a few years left give or take
A
and I think I should say
A F#m
as long as you're waiting
Bm F#m E
as long as you're waiting
A F#m
since you have nothing to do with your hands
Bm F#m E
you might as well pray
Bm F#m E
I am no god-fearing man but I am afraid
A
of something that I cannot quite explain
A F#m D A E
Oh hi-ho hi-ho hi-ho hi-ho (etc.)
A
so you sold everything you didn't want
F#m
you sold everything you didn't want
Bm F#m E F#m E
oh you sold everything you didn't want saved
Bm F#m
this marks a vulnerable part of me
F#m
I guess it runs in my family
Bm F#m E
I guess it runs in my family
Bm F#m
passing the fire down to me
F#m
I only fear for my family
Bm F#m E
I've got it in me
F#m E
I wanna live but I don't wanna live (x3)
C#m E
this thing is out there I don't know where it is
F#m E
I wanna live but I don't wanna live (x3)
C#m E
this thing is out there I don't know where it is
Bm F#m E
I'm waving the white flag, the fire's ceased
Bm
I don't want any enemies
Bm A E
so why they still digging their claws in me
