[Intro]
C
[Verse 1]
C G Am F
Eagle in the dark, feathers in the pages
C G Am F
Monkeys in my heart are rattling their cages
C G Am F
Found a way to blue, another ghost to follow
C G Am F
Said: "it's only up to you, it's the hardest pill to swallow"
C G Am F
Hmmmmmmmmmmmm
C G Am F
You never get to choose, you live on what they sent you
C G Am F
And you know they're gonna use, the things you love against you
C G Am F
One foot in the grave, one foot in the shower
C G Am F
There's never time to save, you're paying by the hour
[Chorus]
C G Am F C
And that's just the way it goes, falling awake
G Am F
And that's just the way it goes
[Interlude]
C G Am F (x2)
[Verse 2]
C G Am F
Slipping through the bars, aware of the danger
C G Am F
Of riding in the cars, taking candy from strangers
C G Am F
And you're never out of hand, never out of pocket
C G Am F
I'm supersonic man, do you wanna buy a rocket?
[Chorus]
C G Am F C
Oh, that's just the way it goes, falling awake
G Am F
Falling awake
C G Am F C
And that's just the way it goes, falling awake
G Am F
Falling awake
[Verse 3]
C G Am F
Eagle in the dark, feathers in the pages
C G Am F
Monkeys in my heart are rattling their cages
C G Am F
I could learn to play the game, I could learn to run the hustle
C G Am F
If I only had the brains, the money or the muscle
[Outro]
C G Am F (x5)
