Am Hey! Am You're living in a dream Am You're burning all the oxygen here in your little room Am Waiting for sleep to come Am Maybe Am You're more than what it seems Am Somewhere among the piles of ashes and broken glass Am There is a sweet thing

Dm So welcome to the party dreamer, it's nice to meet you F G You've got the world on your shoulders Am What did they do to you to make Am You hide your beautiful self with ... Am Barricades Am Snakes crawling through ancient stones Am Nobody's holding your hand, no one's making it easy Am But I believe Dm You've got more power in the twist of one finger F G Than all the tyrants and predators Am The hypocrites will not rest at ease C A darker truth will bow down to you E Am C F I can only see you in silhouette D7 G7 C Turn yourself to the light so I can see your face E Am C F Only broken moments are sacrosanct A D7 G E Turn yourself to the light so I can see your face E7 Your beautiful face, your beautiful face, your beautiful face Am Behind those barricades
*Back to the Am on the 3rd beat. This is a sick instrumental for the brass*
Am If you walk with barricades Am You need a gimlet stare Am You need a reptile handshake, the revolution Am Singing kumbaya Dm 'cause one day they gonna throw their secrets back on your shoulders F G Am You turn the old television off G Am C The lion opens it's mouth to roar, but someone's shaking your shoulders E A C F I can only see you in silhouette Am D7 G7 C Turn yourself to the light so I can see your face E Am C7 F Only broken moments are sacrosanct A Am D7 G E Turn yourself to the light so I can see your face E7 Your beautiful face, your beautiful face, your beautiful face Am Behind those barricades
