Chords

[Verse 1]
Bm7
He tip toes from brick to brick

    E7
And skips the cracks or he gets sick

Em7             Em
Counting sheep, losing sleep

                          Bm
Now his lids are heavy set

Bm
Run for it, they're on the prowl

      B                        G
These demons never make a sound

                              E
Cries ignored, this cardboard box

Em  F#                Bm
Will keep him dry for now
[Chorus]
G      D      A
Why do I give in

A
When I know it's not the only answer

G           D       A
Run away to save my skin

A
When my angst is growing like a cancer

    G                    A
And oh, the things we'll say

           A#              Bm
When we're standing in our way

G                        F#
Maybe soon this all will be

                 Bm
A distant memory
[Verse 2]
      Bm               F#m                 G            Em
There might as well be bloodstains on this carpet floor

            Bm        F#m            G            E   F#  Bm
He's laying face down wondering what fighting back is for

Bm                                            G
Don't even give 'em a chance to knock you down

G                     E         F#            Bm
Don't even give 'em a chance to knock you down

Bm                   F#m                Bm     F#
And I'll be singing' when I turn around
[Chorus]
G      D      A
Why do I give in

A
When I know it's not the only answer

G           D       A
Run away to save my skin

A
When my angst is growing like a cancer

    G                    A
And oh, the things we'll say

           F#          Bm
When we're standing in our way

G                        F#
Maybe soon this all will be

                 G
A distant memory
[Bridge]
G             D
Wars waged on life

              F#m
We wave it in defeat

              Bm
Take down the white

A                G
Soldier, on your feet

        A    D
I march head strong

                      F#                Bm
To shout aloud that, "Now, now, now I'm free"
Bm A G#m G Bm A G# D B D Em B A G# G [Chorus]
              A
Why do I give in

A
When I know it's not the only answer

G           D       A
Run away to save my skin

A
When my angst is growing like a cancer

    G                    A
And oh, the things we'll say

           A#              Bm
When we're standing in our way

G                        F#
Maybe soon this all will be

          Bm
A distant memory
[Outro] N.C. A distant memory (hush, hush) N.C. A distant memory (hush, hush) N.C. A distant memory (hush, hush)
Bm
Don't even give 'em a chance to knock you down

Bm
Don't even give 'em a chance to knock you down

                                      F#     Bm
And I'll be singing when I turn around
