Chords: Em, C, G, and Am
Intro: Em C G Am 2x
Em
Here we are again
C
the same old place
G
there's still a fire inside
Am
and new lines on my face
Em
Everything's the same
C
but it's all changed
G
the pieces still make the same picture
Am
even though they've been rearranged
Em C
Another day you've sent
G
and we've twisted it all around
Am
but then we left it where it lay
else we would've burned it to the ground
Em C
But I can't take it back
G
and I said I never would
Am
I don't believe in Heaven but some things might be sacred
at least I think they should
Em
Here we are again
C
the same old place
G
still a fire inside
Am
and new lines on my face
Em C
In the blackest dead of night
G
was having nightmares of these awful things
Am
things I wouldn't ever want to think about
let alone turn into words to sing
Em C
Was there something that I missed?
G
along the way that was profound?
Am
and is the nature of things to come to us screaming
and for us to cover up the sound?
Strum Em
Then I saw something, and that's when I fell ill
then I saw someone, but they just gave me pills
and I just felt worse so I turned away
and I became a place that I don't wanna stay
C G
I don't want these visions anymore
Am Em
I was king for a day, well not anymore
C G
I don't want these visions anymore
Am Em
so open up the doors and help me up off the floor
Repeat same rhythm and chords for "La la la" part
( C G Am Em )
La la la (9x)
Em C G Am 2x
Em
And I wandered at the Union Station
C
I thought that the marble would eat my wife
G
and that the people around me were magic
Am
and that I was a certain czar in the past life
Em
but it was just the so-called medicine
C
having me make these strange decisions
G
and so when I stepped into the daylight
Am
that's when I had the clear, beautiful vision:
Em C
I wanna live again, I wanna make amends
G
I wanna start anew, I wanna change the end
Am
I wanna stick around, I wanna stay in touch,
Em
I wanna do some good, I wanna have enough,
C
I wanna build new things, I wanna make it right
G
I wanna work each day, I wanna write each night
Am
I wanna be in love, I wanna be the one,
I wanna be something, I wanna be someone
Em
Here we are again
C
the same old place
G
there's still a fire inside
Am
new lines on my face
Em
Everything's the same
C
but it's all changed
G
the pieces still make the same picture
Am
even though they've been rearranged
C G
I don't want these visions anymore
Am Em
I was king for a day, well not anymore
C G
I don't want these visions anymore
Am Em
so open up the doors and help me up off the floor (2x)
