Capo 2nd fret

 
G#m
The disengagement of the bubble’s hypnotizing
           F#
Some say below the doughy crust the beast is rising
           E
We like to talk about the past
           C#m
We like to talk about the past
 
 
   G#m
We talk about the past like it’s the strangest dream
     F#
We repeat the thing we never dreamed we’d do
       E
I understand that sometimes we all must dance with fuckery
    C#m
But everybody’s pissing in the well of our suffering
 
 
          G#m
I want to breathe in all the ashes of the books they tried to burn
          F#
I want to feel the pages in my skin and understand the words
E
Castrate fiction, call it circumstance
             C#m
They say her wanderings are dangerous
                       G#m    F7
All she wants to do is dance 
G7     F7
Dance
 

G#m              F7              G7            F7
Question period’s over, don’t you feel it, I do

  
          G#m
You’ll be pummeled by the certainty of minions
       F#
It’s a puppet show, a theatre of opinions
  E
A chorus of flack
C#m
Feeder of the pack
 
 
        G#m
You can hear the shaky timbre of the voices most alone
          F#
Yeah it’s easier to sing within the crowd
             E
Those who pretend to believe hardest might actually begin to
    C#m
The nature of the bliss the warmth of ignorance gives into
 
 
          G#m
I want to breathe in all the ashes of the books they tried to burn
          F#
I want to taste resilience on my tongue and love beyond concern
E
Mass-grave subtlety, leave it for the birds
             C#m
They say the world it might be dangerous
                          G#m
But all it seems to do is turn

 
G#m           F7                  G7            F7
Bitten by the hand that feeds you
G#m             F7                G7            F7
Holding to what you’re beholden to
(Question period’s over, don’t you feel it? I do)
G#m           F7                  G7            F7
Bitten by the hand that feeds you
(Question period’s over, don’t you feel it? I do)
G#m             F7                G7            F7   G#m
Holding to what you’re beholden to
