[Intro]
D5 E5
(4 times)
E5
(4 times)
E5
And with the early dawn
A5
Moving right along
E5
I couldn?t buy an eyeful of sleep
E5
And in the aching night
A5
Under satellites
E5
I was not received
E5
Build with stolen parts
A5
A telephone in my heart
E5
Someone get me a priest To put my mind to bed
A5
This ringing in my head
E5
Is this a cure or is this a disease? -------------------------------------------------- Chorus
E5 G5 E5
Nail in my head
E5 G5 E5
From my creator
E5 G5 E5
You gave me life now
E5 G5 E5
Now show me how to live
E5 G5 E5
Nail in my hand
E5 G5 E5
From my creator
E5 G5 E5
You gave me life now
E5 G5 E5
Now show me how to live ----------------------------------------------------
E5
And in the after birth
A5
On the quiet earth
E5
Let the stains remind you
E5
You thought you made a man
A5
You better think again
E5
Before my role defines you *BACK TO Chorus Intro:
E5
(4 times)
D5 E5
And in your waiting hands I will land
D5 E5
And roll out my skin
D5 E5
And in your final hours I will stand
D5 E5
Ready to begin (4 times) *BACK TO Chorus
