Am


Verse:
 Am              G        Am
I used to dream in color and I wished away the days
 Am                 G
Waiting on the slightest chance that I would get to play
  Am                G       Am
A gilded harp, a silver horn with a bonny tune to sing
 Am              G         Am
A place inside a golden hall to prance around the king

Chorus:
   G            Am
When I was young I wished to be
C          F
Up to my neck in a fantasy
     C      Dm      Am
Why did I sign on that bloody dotted line?
G           Em  Am
Let the devils hold it over me


Interlude:
Am   G   Am

Am   G Em Am


Verse:
Am                G       Am
Is it a crime to live when you cannot afford the means?
Am                  G
Is it a crime to walk the earth like ravenous machines?
  Am              G        Am
Is there a way to bridge a gap across a great divide?
  Am               G        Am
Is it a secret thrill to know the gods are on your side?


Chorus:
   G            Am
When I was young I wished to be
C          F
A landed man with a back forty
     C      Dm       Am
Why did I sign on that bloody dotted line?
G           Em  Am
Let the devils hold it over me

Em            D     G          C
The smoke still clouds my wits. The stink still fills my pores
     Am             Em       D       D
From the night they kicked down the door, down the door, down the door
Em            D     G           C
The blood still stains my lips. The grief still chafes my soul
  Am             Em         D         D
My pride was raked through the coals, through the coals, through the coals
Em      D      G        C
Yonder prison walls, they own my flesh and bones
    Am         Em      D      D
But my thoughts are mine alone, mine alone, mine alone
