[Verse 1] AmDm If you had looked FAm You might've just seen them FAAmE EaddC Strut in the background CAm You'd see the oceans CAmFC Swell and the mountains shook AmFAE EaddC You'd see a million colors if you really looked
[Chorus] FGCF Now, quick, the night draws near FGFC Her curtain spreads clear FGAmFEA The safety's off, but the gun has no trigger
If you had looked, you'd be no one's coward Distance, justice, power You'd glimpse the password You wouldn't need the book You'd own both slave and master if you just had looked
But now the banks all close And nothing gets bigger The crowd will yell, but the gun has no trigger
If you had looked, you might reconsider Or, just maybe, you already have They want you sleeping You watch their garbage cook You'd weep a bowl of tears if you had looked
But now the gate comes down The pangs are growing dimmer You hold a gun to your head, but the gun has no trigger
