[Verse 1]
G/C        G/B          A7sus   G
     Well, I can't stop staring at myself;

G/C  G/B       A7sus           G
     My face reflected in this empty plate.

G/C G/B        A7sus            G
     I can't decide if it's the devil

G/C  G/B        A7sus    G
     Or if it's just something I ate.

G/C   G/B             A7sus          G
     'Cause he's been down there all morning.

G/C       G/B       A7sus   G
     He's patiently waiting at my gate.

G/C  G/B           A7sus       G
     He's throwing rocks at my window.

G/C  G/B           A7sus         G     G/C
     Hey won't you come on out and play with me?

[Verse 2]
G/C     G/B  A7sus    G
    But everyday when I get up

G/C G/B         A7sus   G
    I see folks trading in their crowns

G/C G/B           A7sus    G
    for all these paper or plastic lives;

G/C    G/B    A7sus   G
    An opiate for the masses hounds.

G/C     G/B           A7sus    G
    And pride, like a vestige of lives lost.

G/C          G/B            A7sus    G
    It's the stench of the old folks coming 'round.

G/C G/B          A7sus  G
    Now with the news I heard today,

G/C   G/B           A7sus         G       C2
    I can't tell if this world is lost or found.
[Chorus 1]
C2      D2                  C2
    You go; I'll be waiting here.

             D2             C2
    And I'm awake, I cannot sleep.

            D2                    Am7
    So I'll sit upon this rock is you.
I ain't standing up for nothing.

[Verse 3]
G/C       G/B        A7sus   G
    Well, I've never seen my congressman,

G/C     G/B       A7sus   G
    But I can't deny that he exists.

G/C        G/B           A7sus G
    'Cause I've seen his legislation pass;

G/C G/B           A7sus       G
    I've seen his name on the ballot list.

G/C       G/B       A7sus   G
    Same, I can't deny this fallen world.

G/C G/B           A7sus     G
    Though not my home it's where I live.

G/C     G/B      A7sus     G
    How can I preserve and light the way

G/C       G/B          A7sus   G       C2
    for a world that I can't admit I'm in?
[Chorus 2]
C2           D2                  C2
    'Cause I know who I say You are,

              D2                       C2
    But these crows can't be made to stop.

            D2                   Am7
    So I'll sit denying by this fire
I ain't standing up for nothing

    Lack of interest leads to,

D2/F#
    Lack of knowledge leads to,

G
    Lack of perspective leads to,

E7
    Lack of communication leads to,

Am7
    Lack of understanding leads to,

A#m7
    Lack of concern leads to,

B
    This complacency denotes,

C2
    This approval denies

    D2
    Truth
[Verse 4]
G/C     G/B          A7sus   G
    But I can't stop staring at myself;

G/C      G/B       A7sus           G
    It's my face reflected in this empty plate.

G/C G/B       A7sus              G
        And I know that it's the devil.
G/C G/B A7sus G [Chorus 3]
C2         D2                        C2
    So You lead; and I'll be close behind.

           D2                           C2
    So You speak and I'll hang on Your words.

                       D2                    Am7
    You've got to lift me from this hardened tree,
'Cause I ain't standing up for nothing.
