Gm	Eb	Gm	Eb	F	D


Gm		Bb		Eb			Ab
I walk the streets 		    alone on feeble bones I ride
Gm		Bb		Eb			Ab
my sins are eched in stone	I got no place to hide
Bb		Gm		Ab			Eb
well, I was unshakable		in what I did believe
Gm		Bb		Eb			Ab
I feel so breakable		    but have I been deceived


Gm		Bb		Eb			  Ab
You showed me your paradise	  and your carnival of souls
Gm		Bb		Eb			  Ab
but my heart keeps telling me	  that ain't the place to go
Bb		Gm		Ab			  Eb
well, I'm not invincible	      so I want you to leave
Gm		Bb		Eb			  Ab
well, I'm so convincible	      but have I been deceived


Bb					                  Eb
I take your words and try them on	      yeah, it's a perfect fit, boy
Bb					                  Eb
you tell me one size fits us all	      yeah, like an old straightjacket
Bb			    Db
well, tell me why I'm so afraid
Db
all my words are spoken
B
all my words are spoken
Bb
all my words are spoken
     Eb     Ab
in a stolen prayer


Gm		Bb		Eb			    Ab
I remember yesterday		        when things were black and white
Gm		Bb		Eb			    Ab
never thought I'd get confused	on what was wrong and right
Bb		Gm		Ab			    Eb
well, I'm not unbreakable 	    with armor on my skin
Gm		Bb		Eb			    Ab
well, it's not unthinkable	    I could be fooled again


Bb						                   Eb

you tell me one size fits us all		       yeah, like an old straightjacket
Bb			   Db
well, tell me why I'm so afraid
Db
all my words are spoken
B
all my words are spoken
Bb
all my words are spoken
     Eb     Ab

D				C		D				C
You steal another minute of my life	you cut a little deeper with your knife
Bb				Ab		            Ab
you steal a little breath from my air	and you don't care
Eb						            Db  
and even though I'm chokin'  			all my words are spoken



Bb						                Eb

you tell me one size fits us all  	  	yeah, like an old straightjacket
Bb						                Eb
take this world and try it on			    man, you're lookin' good boy
Bb						                Eb
stick you neck out on the block			so you won't miss nothing
Bb						                Eb
stretch your finger, grab your hair		don't you feel like screaming
Bb						                Eb
feel the blood rush from your veins		now you're a perfect zombie
Bb                    Db
now I'm down on my knees
Db
all my words are spoken
B
all my words are spoken
Bb
all my words are spoken
Ab
all my words are spoken

all my words are spoken
     Ab     Eb
