Chords

[Verse 1]
   B
We took a vow in summertime

                                 E
Now we find ourselves in late December

B
I believe that New Year's Eve will be the perfect time

                   E
For their great surrender, but they don't remember
[Pre-Chorus 1]
F#            B      E                 Emaj
Anger wants a voice, voices wanna sing

F#           B               E                   Emaj
Singers harmonize, till they can't hear anything

  F#                 B          E                    Emaj
I thought that I was free, from all that questioning

    F#           B             E
But every time a problem ends, another one begins
[Chorus 1]
        F#             B                 E
And the stone walls of Harmony Hall bear witness

               F#                 B                 E
Anybody with a worried mind could never forgive the sight

    F#             B                E
Of wicked snakes inside a place you thought was dignified

              F#             B                   E
I don't wanna live like this,  but I don't wanna die

        F#        B        E
Ooh-ooh oooh, ooh-ooh, ooh ooh-ooh

F#         B        E
Ooooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-oooh

F#        B        E
Oooh, ooh-ooh, ooh ooh-ooh

              F#             B                   E
I don't wanna live like this,  but I don't wanna die
[Verse 2]
B
  Within the halls of power lies

                                           E
A nervous heart that beats like a Young Pretender's

  B
Beneath these velvet gloves I hide

                                     E
The shameful crooked ends of a moneylender, 'cause I still remember
[Pre-Chorus 2]
F#             B     E                 Emaj
Anger wants a voice, voices wanna sing

F#            B              E                   Emaj
Singers harmonize, till they can't hear anything

F#                  B         E                    Emaj
Thought that I was free, from all that questioning

    F#           B             E
But every time a problem ends, another one begins
[Chorus 2]
        F#             B                 E
And the stone walls of Harmony Hall bear witness

               F#                 B                 E
Anybody with a worried mind could never forgive the sight

   F#              B                E
Of wicked snakes inside a place you thought was dignified

              F#             B                   E
I don't wanna live like this,  but I don't wanna die

        F#        B        E
Ooh-ooh oooh, ooh-ooh, ooh ooh-ooh

F#         B        E
Ooooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-oooh

F#        B        E
Oooh, ooh-ooh, ooh ooh-ooh

              F#             B                   E
I don't wanna live like this,  but I don't wanna die
F# B E x4 [Chorus 3]
        F#             B                 E
And the stone walls of Harmony Hall bear witness

Anybody with a worried mind could never forgive the sight

   F#              B                E
Of wicked snakes inside a place you thought was dignified

              F#             B                   E
I don't wanna live like this,  but I don't wanna die
F# B E x4
[Outro]
        F#        B        E
Ooh-ooh oooh, ooh-ooh, ooh ooh-ooh

F#         B        E
Ooooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-oooh

F#        B        E
Oooh, ooh-ooh, ooh ooh-ooh

        F#                   B                   E
