Introduction:
E
You've got beet blood in your mouth and lies in your artichoked heart
A C D
you?re black eyes stalking through me
E
with a birdcage for ribs, that vultures trying to get out
A C D
it?s scratching your kidney wings
E
we?re no longer feeding ourselves, the raccoons are eating our dreams
C
there's a whole big world out there my son, be careful don't believe them.
D
there's a crazy old lady in the sun, she's angry can't you feel it?
C
if you don?t work hard you?re no son of mine, well I?ve earned these riverbeds
D
& I?ll drown you out until you?ve made me proud if you won?t learn you?re better off dead.
E
so, I?m digging in this farm yard trying to find the seeds
A C D
forgetting all I have left in this world of course that includes me
E
so I?m building and I?m learning and leaving nothing unsaid
A C D
all I am is all I have, I?ll take this garden for my bed
E
and these are not just words built like a city of dreams, we have no use for this kingdom
A C D
I?m proud of you my friends, may your lives be a symphony of freedom
C D
I don't want to live forever. I just want to live for now
E
but the angel on my doorstep keeps pointing me towards that plow
C D
so I?m digging in with both my hands, keeping one eye on the door
E
If I go looking I?ll probably find it, ...and get all I?ve been asking for
C D
I don't want to live forever. I just want to live for me
E
but your faces just keep haunting ...sometimes it?s all I see
C D
so I?m working hard at learning all I can I?m gonna give it all to you
E
I?ll keep making payments, until we?re all so straight and true
E
I want to paint seeds together, and follow you right up to the edge
A C D
filled up and spilling like carried cups, and watch the sun go red
E
but there?s poison right here in our water, and a shark somewhere in the well
A C D
I wanna show you my life, show me your life and tell me it?s not the devil
A
I guess I I feel the way I feel, you make me feel like I?m alive...
A
and I?m alive, am I alive, i am alive so you can live...
A
please come and live, why don?t you live, you can live inside of me...
A
there?s a home for you inside me, inside of me there is a fire
C D
inside my fire, there is more fire, and in that fire there is truth
