I’m choking I’m choking

A             G         E       A
On the smoke from this burning house

I claw and I scrape

    A               Bm
But I can’t seem to get out oh

     A       E
But who the who is this

A
That’s scratching from the ground?

It’s my world too

But who’s gold is this I’m digging out

When we’re dead

Is the verdict still out

To line up with those long dead now

With muffled tears of sorrow

For bones underground

Must be the dreams of our fathers

Em         E
I wanna go I wanna run

We turn and so sure someone’s looking down

It’s haunting me haunting me

Leaves us here to get out

Though I don’t believe I don’t believe

This flavor in my mouth

            Dm      D
Is from my tongue alone

          G               F#
So bitter I wanna spit it out
[verse 4]

I repeat these words

      D
They come out

A          G                 F#
Under the blue light in this sky

My empty pages are filling up

            Bm     F#
With these wicked lies

                    Em
But I hear deep in myself

An echo and echo

We followed a drunken man

Got us spinning round
