***this song is pretty much just a walking song*** Intro: Dsus2 Asus4/C# G6/B A7sus G5 A7sus4 A7 A7sus4 Asus7 Dsus2 Asus4/C# G6/B A7sus G5 Dsus/F# A7 A7sus4 Asus7 [Verse 1]
Dsus2 Asus4/C#  G6/B  A7sus  G5  A7sus4  A7 A7sus4 Asus7
A shapeless piece of steel, that's all I claim to be

Dsus2 Asus4/C#  G6/B  A7sus  G5  A7sus4 D5 D/A
This hammer pounds to give me form, this flame, it melts my dreams

Dsus2 Asus4/C#  G6/B  A7sus  G5  A7sus4  A7 A7sus4 Asus7
I glow with fire and fury, as I'm twisted like a vine

Dsus2 Asus4/C#  G6/B  A7sus  G5  A7sus4 D5 D/A
My final shape, my final form I'm sure I'm bound to find
[Chorus]
Dsus2 Asus4/C#  G6/B  A7sus  G5  A7sus4 D5 D/A
So dream a little, dream for me in hopes that I'll remain

Dsus2 Asus4/C#  G6/B  A7sus  G5  Dsus/F# A7 A7sus4 Asus7     
And cry a little, cry for me so I can bear the flames

Dsus2 Asus4/C#  G6/B  A7sus  G5  A7sus4 D5 D/A
And hurt a little, hurt for me my future is untold

Dsus2 Asus4/C#  G6/B  A7sus  G5  A7sus4 D5 D/A
But my dreams are not the issue here, for they, the hammer holds
[Verse 2]
Dsus2 Asus4/C#  G6/B  A7sus  G5  A7sus4  A7 A7sus4 Asus7
And the water, it cools me gray, and the hurt's subdued somehow

Dsus2 Asus4/C#  G6/B  A7sus  G5  A7sus4 D5 D/A
I have my shape, this sharpened point, what is my purpose now?

Dsus2 Asus4/C#  G6/B  A7sus  G5  A7sus4  A7 A7sus4 Asus7
And the question still remains, what am I to be?

Dsus2 Asus4/C#  G6/B  A7sus  G5  A7sus4 D5 D/A
Perhaps some perfect piece of art displayed for all to see
[Chorus]
Dsus2 Asus4/C#  G6/B  A7sus  G5  A7sus4 D5 D/A
So dream a little, dream for me in hopes that I'll remain

Dsus2 Asus4/C#  G6/B  A7sus  G5  Dsus/F# A7 A7sus4 Asus7     
And cry a little, cry for me so I can bear the flames

Dsus2 Asus4/C#  G6/B  A7sus  G5  A7sus4 D5 D/A
And hurt a little, hurt for me my future is untold

Dsus2 Asus4/C#  G6/B  A7sus  G5  A7sus4 D5 D/A
But my dreams are not the issue here, for they, the hammer holds
[Verse 3]
Dsus2 Asus4/C#  G6/B  A7sus  G5  A7sus4  A7 A7sus4 Asus7
The hammer pounds again, but flames I do not feel

Dsus2 Asus4/C#  G6/B  A7sus  G5  A7sus4 D5 D/A
This force that drives me, helplessly, through flesh, and wood reveals

Dsus2 Asus4/C#  G6/B  A7sus  G5  A7sus4  A7 A7sus4 Asus7
A burn that burns much deeper, it's more than I can stand

Dsus2 Asus4/C#  G6/B  A7sus  G5  A7sus4 D5 D/A
The reason for my life was to take the life of a guiltless man
[Chorus]
Dsus2 Asus4/C#  G6/B  A7sus  G5  A7sus4 D5 D/A
So dream a little, dream for me in hopes that I'll remain

Dsus2 Asus4/C#  G6/B  A7sus  G5  Dsus/F# A7 A7sus4 Asus7     
And cry a little, cry for me so I can bear the pain

Dsus2 Asus4/C#  G6/B  A7sus  G5  A7sus4 D5 D/A
And hurt a little, hurt for me my future is untold

Dsus2 Asus4/C#  G6/B  A7sus  G5  A7sus4 D5 D/A
But my dreams are not the issue here, for they, the hammer holds
[Outro]
Dsus2 Asus4/C#  G6/B  A7sus  G5  A7sus4 D5 D/A
This task before me may seem unclear

Dsus2 Asus4/C#  G6/B  A7sus  G5  Dsus4/A Dsus2
But it, my maker holds
