C
Living in fear because the world is cold
Am
And hope might be coming but you never know.
C
There are dead end streets around every turn.
Am C(strum once)
And a road map too beaten up, torn, and burnt to read.

C
Dead weight carried on for miles and miles.
Am
And someone's telling jokes but you never smile,
C Am
As the rows of tombstone houses pass you by.
C
And I say, you say, we say change.
Am
But we all know just what they say.
C Am
The more things change the more they stay the same.
C(strum once)
They just stay the same.

This time it's eating me alive.(strum between C and Am a couple times)
start strumming the C and Am for this verse
C
It's a long cold winter in the dead of night.
Am
And the candidates are saying they can make it right.
C Am
And we'll buy almost anything that they sell.
C
Drop dead headlights coming down the road.
Am
And we're frozen blind
Believing in a heart of gold that will
C Am
Swoop right in and save us from our sins.
C(strum once)
Save us from our sins.
