Verse: (0:12 - 1:00)


    Bm                             G       D
Cause I know that time has numbered my days, and Ill go along with everything you say

    Bm                                 G    D
But Ill ride home laughing, look at me now, the walls of my town, they come crumbling down

     Bm                             G       D
And my ears hear the call of my unborn sons, and I know their choices color all Ive done

     Bm                             G        D

Verse: (1:25 - 2:12)


     Bm                             G    D
Like the city that nurtured my greed and my pride, I stretch my arms into the sky

   Bm                                 G    D
I cry Babel! Babel! Look at me now, then the walls of my town, they come crumbling down

     Bm                                 G      D
You ask where will we stand in the winds that will howl, as all we see will slip into the cloud

     Bm
              G
So come down from your mountain and stand where weve been, you know our breath is weak


    G  D
and our body thin


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

      I shouldve known I was weaker from the start

    D/F#         G        Bm   A    G
      Youll build your walls and I will play my bloody part

         G   D/F# D/E D          Bm  G     D
      To tear, tear them down, well Im gonna tear, tear them down

And I know perhaps my heart is farce, but Ill be born without a mask
