[Intro] Em A F#m Bm (x2) [Verse 1]
           Em                A
Up on his horse, up on his horse

            F#m             Bm
Not gonna wake up here anymore

             Em                A
Listen one time, it's not the truth

                 F#m           Bm
It's just the story I tell to you

         Em           A
Easy to say, easy to do

             F#m                   Bm
But it's not easy, well maybe for you

                Em                      A
Hope that you find it, hope that it's good

                F#m                      Bm
Hope that you read it, think that you should

                Em               A
Cuts you some slack as he sits back

           F#m              Bm
Sizes you up, plans his attack
[Spoken]
 Em
Da-da-da

 Em                    A
Drums please, Fab
[Pre-Chorus]
              F#m           Bm
And I got it all, I got it all

            Em                 A
Waitin' for me down on the street

                         F#m               Bm
But now you gotta do somethin' special for me

           Em                A
I'm gonna say what's on my mind

           F#m                      Bm
Then I'll walk out, then I'll feel fine
[Chorus]
                      Em                A
Yeah, I'm under his thumb, I'm on his back

             F#m               Bm
I will not show my teeth too quick

               Em                   A
I needed you there, I needed you there

               F#m            Bm
But I didn't know, I didn't know
[Break]
 Em   A
Go alone

     D  Bm
I'll go alone

      Em  A
We'll go alone

     D  Bm
I'll go alone
[Instrumental] Em A F#m Bm [Verse 2]
               Em                A
Back from his trip, he's at the door

              F#m                Bm
When he gets back, he's on the phone

          Em             A
Innocent eye, innocent heart

                F#m               Bm
No, it's not wrong, but it's not right

          Em               A
Innocent time, out on his own

              F#m                    Bm
Not gonna do that, fuck, I'm out of control

             Em                 A
I was just bored, playin' the guitar

                   F#m                Bm
Learned all your tricks, wasn't too hard
[Chorus]
                   Em                      A
It's the last one now, I can promise you that

                         F#m            Bm
I'm gonna find out the truth when I get back
[Instrumental]
Em     A
Aaah  Aaah

D     Bm
Aaah  Aaah

Em     A
Aaah  Aaah

D     Bm
Aaah  Aaah
[Outro]
  D
Gone now are the old times

  Em                               G
Forgotten, time to hold on the railing

                          A
The Rubik's Cube isn't solving for us

 D
Old friends, long forgotten

     Em
The old ways at the bottom of

      G
The ocean now has swallowed

      A                 D
The only thing that's left is us

                 Em
So pardon the silence that you're hearing

      G                         A                D
Is turnin' into a deafening, painful, shameful roar
[Solo] D Em G A D
