[Bm] [D]
[Bm] [Bb]
[Bm] No one knows where [Bb] the ladder goes
[Bm] You're gonna lose what [D] you love the most
[Em] You're not alone [G] in anything
[Em] You're not unique [G] in dying
[Bm] I feel estranged [Gb] every now and [Bm] then
Fall asleep [Bb] reading science fiction
[Em] I wanna fly in [G] your silver ship
[Em] Let Jesus hang [G] and [A] Buddha sit
[D] It's on now
The days are [A] long now
The [G] ups and the sundowns
And a [A] twist in mind
If [D] I gotta go first
I'll do it [A] on my terms
I'm tired of [G] traitors
Always [A] changing sides
[Bm] They were [A] friends [G] of mine
[Bm]
[Bb] [Bm]
[Bb] [Bm] Don't hang around, [Gb] the promise breaks
[Bm] You'll be [Bb] there when the next one's [Em] made
Kiss the feet of [G] a charlatan
[Em] Some imagined [G] freedom
[Bm] All the rest [Gb] is predictable
[Bm] You can say you're [Gb] the first to know
[Em] Bought a mantra [G] to concentrate
[Em] Call [G] on more hissing [A] [D] snake
I know now
How it's gonna [A]
turn out
Gotta [G]
calm down
Or I'll lose [A] my place
Gotta get to [D] the center
Gotta get [A] to the concert
Run off with [G] a dancer Gonna [E] celebrate
[Em] Welcome [A] to a new [D] age
[G] Covered in [Bm] warrior [Em] pain
Lights from [A] the jungle to [D] the sky
[Gbm] [D]
[Em] See now [A] a star is [D] born
Looks just like [G] a blood [D]
[Em] orange
Don't it [A] just make you wanna [D] cry
Precious
[Bm] [A] friend [G] of mine
[Bm]
[Bb] [Bm]
[Bb] [Bm] Well I know [Bb] when it's finally done
[Bm] This whole life's [E] a [Gb] hallucination
[Em] You're not alone [G] in anything
[Em] You're not alone [G] in trying to [D] be
