[Verse 1]
Am                     C/E
Schoolyard freaks are freezing

     F               Am
Down getting teased again

                              C/E            F   Am
I'm looking back and down and watching it go by

                                C/E
Down at the stockyards, cattle screaming

    F                 Am
The trains squeak by again

                      C/E              F               C     C  F
I can see my breath and I'm so thankful I'm not one of them
[Instrumental] Am C/E F Am C/E F [Verse 2]
    Am                   C/E        F              Am
The sound of the ground freezing is pounding once again

                            C/E                F      Am
It comes with the wind that once wiped off our smiles

                       C/E                  F         Am
Alarm clock bells are screaming out the same routine again

                       C/E             F          C    C  F
Scrape open your eyes, rise and fucking shine, 7 AM
C C F [Chorus]
C                C           F       C
  Sit down, dead weight, and wonder

          C        F         C
Unsure, unslept, uncovered

                         F          F
The new light of dawn discovered by ungrateful eyes

            Am
Through 5-3 eyes
C/E F Am C/E F [Verse 3]
Am                     C/E
Schoolyard freaks are freezing

       F              Am
Pushed to the ground again

                            C/E               F    Am
I'm looking up and west for black to fill the sky

                      C/E           F              Am
The sound of bottles breaking still breaking in my ears

                            C/E           F              C      C  F
They opened just in time to empty out and gouge away the years
C C F [Chorus]
C                C           F       C
  Sit down, dead weight, and wonder

          C        F         C
Unsure, unslept, uncovered

                         F          F
The new light of dawn discovered by ungrateful eyes

            Am
Through 5-3 eyes
C/E F Am C/E F [Verse 4]
Am
Schoolyard freaks are bleeding
Down getting kicked again
                                             Asus2
I can taste the earth and feel it in my eyes
The sound of cattle screaming, still screaming in my ears
                                                                C
They came in metal coffins, chained me up and hacked me off my years
[Chorus]
               C           F       C
Sit down, dead weight, and wonder

          C        F        C
Unsure, unslept, uncovered

                         F          F
The new light of dawn discovered by ungrateful eyes

            Am
Through 5-3 eyes
