[This song is best played bouncing the route E to D over the verse chords]
[Verse 1]
Em
Naked but for tears- While the sky falls down
C/E Em
Panting for the rush- Hissing thru the crowd
Em
Waving at the wheels But I can't slow down
C/E Em
I'm riding- Riding thru your town-
[Chorus]
C Em
So say what you got to say
C Em
Play, but you got to pay-
[Instrumental]
Em C/E
[Verse 2]
Em
Heavy is the head- But you wear no crown
C/E Em
Hang it In the sky And step inside your dream
Em
I know what I know And with the lights down low
C/E Em
I'm riding- Riding down your street
[Chorus]
C Em
So say what you got to say
C Em
Say what you got to say
Em
A
E
She went to California
Painted in light
A
Til all the colors ran-
Wild
E
You came to mesmerize her-
A
She came with consequences in her eyes-
In her eyes-
Deep in her eyes
[Outro]
C#m B A E
Listen in the distance- As the sky begins to fall
C#m B A E
Raining down like crystalline Apocalypse in thrall
C#m
Rolling under-
B
Torn asunder-
A
Blinded by it all
C#m B
Once there was a way-
A E
Then you were gone
