Tom: Am
Am
´Cause I know that time has numbered my days
F F C
And I´ll go along with everything you say
Am
But I´ll ride home laughing, look at me now
F F C
That walls of my town, they come crumbling down
Am
And my ears hear the call of my unborn sons
F F C
And I know their choices color all I´ve done
Am
But I´ll explain it all to the watchman´s son
F F C
I´ve never lived a year better spent in love
Am G F C
´Cause I know my weakness know my voice
Am G F C G
And I´ll believe in grace and choice
Am G F C
And I know, perhaps, my heart is farce
Am G F C G
But I´ll be born without a mask
Woo!
Am
Like the city that nurtured my greed and my pride
F F C
I stretch my arms into the sky
Am
I cry Babel! Babel! Look at me now
F F C
Then the walls of my town, they come crumbling down
Am
You ask where will we stand in the winds that will howl
F F C
As all we see will slip into the cloud
Am
So come down from your mountain and stand where we´ve been
F F C
You know our breath is weak and our body thin
Am F C
Press my nose up to the glass around your heart
Am F C
I should´ve known I was weaker from the start
Am F C G F
You´ll build your walls and I will play my bloody part
C C G C
To tear, tear them down
Am Am F C
Well I´m gonna tear, tear them down
Am G F C
´Cause I know my weakness know my voice
Am G F C
And I´ll believe in grace and choice
Am G F C
And I know perhaps my heart is farce
Am G F C G
But I´ll be born without a mask
