If you find yourself standing at the end of [F] your line,
looking for [E] a [D] piece of something, maybe a piece [G] of mine,
[Em] that I've lost and [C] run down, nowhere [G] to [F] hold on,
tired to take your [D] place at the end, son,
I'll give you [G] one by one, [Gm] no [Em] lie, [F] the birds shine,
shedding tears [C] that dry, maybe a waste [G] of words and time,
[C]
never a waste of life,
[F] every hour will [G] be spent,
[F] selling a quota, just [C] getting along,
[Am]
handcuffs hurt worse, when you've done [G] nothing wrong,
no thanks to [C] the treadmill, no [G] thanks to the [F] grindstone,
[D]
[F] there's plenty [D] of consent from [G] these rungs below,
[D]
clockwork and [C] destruction, hanging low over [F] our heads,
always [D] a small stack loud, or a slow [G] walk in depth,
no [Em] lie, the [F] birds shine, [C]
[F] shedding tears [C] that dry,
maybe a [G] waste of words and time, [F]
never [G] a waste [C] of life,
[Bm] [C]

[Am] [D]
[G] [D] no thanks to the [C] treadmill, no thanks to [F] the grindstone,
there's plenty of [D] consent from these [G] rungs below,
the [Em]
clockwork of [C] destruction, hanging [D] close over [F] our [N] heads.
