Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E) Intro: Dm F C Gm Verse 1: Dm F I came into this earth free and from the sun C Gm I never thought I’d ever have to take my pride and run Dm F Illusion is the truth blurred like a bullet from a gun C Gm United we are stronger ‘cause together we are one Dm If I could take the pain away F
Built up from yesterday’s mistakes C We wouldn’t have to struggle Gm Just to find a better kinder way Dm We wouldn’t have to prove F Yea our right to choose C Gm One nation being puppets to the puppet master’s tune Pre-Chorus: Bb C Open your eyes to see F Come ride this breeze Dm Your mind is free Bb C Above the haze beneath F It’s fine to breathe Dm Unwind and ease Chorus: Bb C ‘Cause life is hard ya know F Whether it’s moving fast or slow Dm Not enough or too much Bb An overflowing empty cup C How nice to just run away F And pretend this is every day Dm And the world is filled with love Bb Just until you wake up Bridge: C Oh oh oh F Oh oh oh Dm Oh oh oh oh Bb C You wake up Verse 2: Dm F If I can feel the struggle and I can feel the pain C Gm Then everyone around me must be feeling just the same Dm F When life turns into rubble the sinner filled with shame C Gm And nobody around me seems to wanna take the blame Dm Wish I could say this time is great F Complacent in the coming race C Unbalanced and adjusting Gm While inadequately changing lanes Dm The system is abused F Undocumented proof C Gm Our sympathy ecstatic to the unrelenting truth Pre-Chorus: Bb C Open your eyes to see F Come ride this breeze Dm Your mind is free Bb C Above the haze beneath F It’s fine to breathe Dm Unwind and ease Chorus: Bb C ‘Cause life is hard ya know F Whether it’s moving fast or slow Dm Not enough or too much Bb An overflowing empty cup C How nice to just run away F And pretend this is every day Dm And the world is filled with love Bb Just until you wake up Bridge: C Oh oh oh F Oh oh oh Dm Oh oh oh oh Bb C You wake up
