[A] [D]
[Bm] You open [E] your eyes, [A] look around, you [D] feel the earth, it wanders [Bm] out from under [E] your feet.
[A] The ground is [D] not firm, it's soft and [Bm] weak, like [E]
skin.
Under the [A] touch, cannot stop the falter.
[Bm] Now the damage [E] is done, the [A] certainty's gone, [D] the spirit's [F#m] altered.
Now the angry morning gives the [D] early signs of warning.
You [F#m] face alone the plans you make, [E] decisions they will try to [B] break.
[Bm] And pretend [A] the table may [B] be
[A] your bed.

[A]
[Bm] all of your life [E] you've lived in a world [A] as pure [D] as Eden's [A] sixth [Bm] day.
Now all you've been [E] allowed is taken [A] away, they will [D]
be so [Bm] proud.
You [E] have felt the fear growing [A] inside.
[D]
Protest follows far and [Bm] wide, they'll see [E] how long it will take till [A] you fall.
[D] From so much denied [F#m] your soul, it aches relentless for the [D] fear that they will never guess.
[F#m] So unfair that they can make you feel [E] so small.
And the fear you know is [B] real.
[Bm] If all hands and turn [A] the table,
[B] [Bm] maybe you can try.
[A] But all
[B] [Bm]
[A]
of us [Em] are
[D] trying.
