[Ebm] I [Db] travel through [Ab] the atmosphere [Eb] as the wall [Ebm] of feet that I [Ab] climb.
The pigs will go, the band will [Abm] go, [Bb] they play [Ab] in [Ebm]
halftime.
Now [Ab] [Eb]
every [Ab] dream gets whittled [Ebm] down just like every fool gets wild.
Cause you [Ab] never read [Eb] of [Bbm] any seed [Bb] that's dried [Ab] of [Ebm] sunlight.

[Ebm] [Ab]
[B] So I've [Ebm] become the middle man, [B] the grey area [Ebm] of the mind.
[Gb] [B] In between [Bb] the [Ebm] absentee [Bb] is a beautiful [Ebm]
sky.
[Gb] So [Ab] [Eb]
[Gb] [F] [Eb] I keep [Db] my [Ab] footlights shining bright just [Eb] like I keep [Db] my exits wide.
[Ebm] Cause I [Fm] never know [Ebm] when it's [Ab] time to go, it's [Eb] too [Fm] crowded now [Eb] inside.
[Ebm] [Bbm]
[Ab] [Eb] [Bbm]
[Ab] [Ebm] And death [Ab] can hide beneath the ground and the birds [Bbm] can always [Ab]
fly.
[Eb] [Abm] But the [Ab] rest will [Ebm] just open [Bbm] up your mouth [Bb] and turn out [Ab] a stink all [Ebm] for lies.

I've become [Ebm] the middle man, [B]
the grey [Ebm] area of the mind.

I [B] don't know [Bb] the name [Ebm] of this song, [Bb] but it's only real, [Eb] it's only true, [Bb] it's [Eb] only real, it's life.
