[N] [D]
I [Bm] know that time has numbered my days and I go along [G] with everything [D] you say
[Bm] But I ride home laughing, look at me now, but the walls of my town, they [G] come crumbling [D] down
And my [Bm] ears hear the call of my unborn sons and I know that choice [G] is color all [D]
I've
But [Bm] I'll explain it all to the watchman's son, I never lived a year [G] better spent [D] in love
I know my weakness, know my voice, [G] and I'll [A] believe [Bm] in grace and [A] joy
[G] And I know perhaps my [D] heart is [G] farse, but I'll [A] be born [D] without a
[A] [D] mask
Like the [Bm] city that nurtured my greed and my pride, I stretch my [G] arms into [D] the sky
I
[Bm] cry, Babel, Babel, look at me now, that the walls of my town, they [G] come crumbling [D]
down
You ask where [Bm] will we stand in the winds, then we'll howl, it's all we see, [G] we'll slip into [D] the clouds
So come [Bm] down from your mountain and stand where we've been, you know our breath [G] is weak and our [D] bodies thin
Press [G] my nose up [D] to the glass around your heart, I should've [G] known [D] I was weaker from the start
You'll [G] build your walls and I will [A] play my bloody [G] part to tear, tear [D] them
Well I'm gonna [Bm] tear, [G] tear [D] them down
[G] Cause I know my [Bm] weakness, know [D] my [G] voice, and [D] I'll believe in grace and [A] joy
[G] And I know perhaps [Bm] my heart is [G] farse, but [A] I'll be born [Bm] without a [A] mask
[D]
I [Bm] know that time has numbered my days and I go along [G] with everything [D] you say
[Bm] But I ride home laughing, look at me now, but the walls of my town, they [G] come crumbling [D] down

But [Bm] I'll explain it all to the watchman's son, I never lived a year [G] better spent [D] in love

[G] And I know perhaps my [D] heart is [G] farse, but I'll [A] be born [D] without a
[A] [D] mask
