[Em]
[E] [Em] How many times have I [C] noticed that our eyes hardly ever [Em]
meet?
From your judgment seat, I [G] can feel [C] the anger for my very [Em] being.
Fill me in on [G] when you [C] became such a big part of my [Em] life
that I should bother with [G] all your [C] lies designed to bring [E] me down.
Wrong again, don't depend on any reaction again.
[G] I remember the icy walls that shattered from [E] nowhere
and [G] I can see every [C] lie you've ever told [G] yourself.
[E] You plead [G] me dry and I don't ask why, but I'm left with the dust.
[Em] Judas kiss, [G] I dismiss, thank you all for this.
I am untouched, I am unweighted.
[A] [E] I'm [Em] not through [D] with [C] the screaming [D] of [G]
[A] death.
[E] But you've got [D] nothing [C] better to do [Em] than trade [D] my life [G] for barrels of gold
and find someone else before I get too old.
If I live my life [C] for [G] a set gain, will you repay [D] me with all [G] your shame?
[E] [G] I can see every light inside your brain.
[Em] Go on, [G] every time that I walk by or nod and whisper,
your [E] [Em] comfort [G] in my suffering is [D] no longer disturbing.
[Em] I'm lost [G] beyond your petty stopwatch.
Life's real time, life's real.
Wait [D] [A] again, [E] I'm not through [D] with [C] the screaming [G] of [A] death.
[E] But you've got [D] nothing [C] better [G] to do than trade my life for barrels of gold
and find [D] someone else [C] before I get [G] too old.
If I live my life for a set gain, will you repay me with all your shame?
Don't get up, [D]
[G] [Bm]
I was only leaving the [G] room.
[D]
[Cm] And [G] when the door of your [D] judgment swings back around [G] again,
[Bm]
maybe I'll stop to watch [G] you rack.
[D] I'll [C] [G] go on my way.
[D] I've seen [Bm] quite enough of too many childish [C] games.
And I'm [G] ashamed of every [D] moment that [Bm] I ever give in the time [C] of day.
Although [G] what a
[D] waste, I somehow [Bm] always regret that you [C] stupid.
[G]
