[Intro] Am [Verse 1]

Am
If you can heal the symptoms

But not affect the cause

 Am7
It’s quite a bit like trying to heal

A gunshot wound with gauze [Verse 2]

Am
If you instead attempt to wrest

The pistol from the hand

 Am7
Then I would not be able to

Equate my life with sand [Solo] Am [Verse 3]

Am
Flowing through the hourglass

Pushing through the funnel

 Am7
Turn once more while racing

All your siblings for the tunnel [Verse 4]

 Am
Slide and let the silicone

Embrace you as you fall

 Am7
Then bounce and land and let

Your brothers crush you to the wall [Solo] Am [Verse 5]

Am
I would choose my own religion

And worship my own spirit

  Am7
But if he ever preached to me

I wouldn’t want to hear it [Verse 6]

Am
I’d drop him, a forgotten god

Languishing in shame

Am7
And then if I hit stormy seas

I’d have myself to blame [Solo] Am [Outro 1]

Am
If you can heal the symptoms

But not affect the cause

 Am7
You can't heal the symptoms

Am
If you can heal the symptoms

But not affect the cause

 Am7
You can't heal the symptoms

Am
If you can heal the symptoms

But not affect the cause

 Am7
You can't heal the symptoms

[Outro 2] Am
