[C#m] [E]
[C#m] [E]
[G#]
It's empty [C#m] in the valley of [E] your heart, the sun [C#m] it rises slowly as [E] you walk, away from
[C#m] all the fears and all [E] the faults you've left behind.
The harvest [C#m] left no food for you [E] to eat, you [C#m] cannibal, you meat eater, [E] you see, but I have
[C#m] seen the same, I know [E] the shame in your defeat.
But I will hold on hope and I won't let you choke on the noose [B] around your [C#m] neck, and [A] I'll
find strength in [E] pain, [C#m] and I [A] will change my [E] ways, [A] I'll know my name [B] as it's called again.
Cause [C#m]
I [E] [C#m]
[E] [C#m]
[E]
have [C#m] other things to fill [E] my time, you take [C#m] what is yours and I'll [E] take mine,
now let me [C#m] at the truth which will [B] refresh my broken [E] mind.
So tie me [C#m] to a post and block [E] my ears, I can see [C#m] widows and orphans through [E] my tears, and
know my [C#m] call despite my faults [E] and despite my growing fears.
But I will [A] hold on [E] hope and I won't let you choke on [E] the noose [B] around your [C#m] neck, and I'll
[A] find strength in pain, [C#m] and I [A] will change my ways, I'll know my name [B] as it's called again.
[E]
So come out [C#m] of your cave walking on [E] your hands, and see the [C#m] world hanging upside [E] down, you
can understand [C#m] dependence when [E] you know [B] the maker's hand.
So [A] make your sirens [E] call and sing all you want, I will not hear [B] what you have to say.
[C#m] Cause I [A] need freedom now [C#m] and I [A] need to [E] know how [A] to live [E] my life [B] as it's meant to be.
