Intro: C F Am F
C G
Eagle in the dark
Am F
Feathers in the pages
C G
Monkeys in my heart
Am F
Are rattling their cages.
Found a way to blue
And another ghost to follow
Said its only up to you
Its the hardest pill to swallow.
hmmmmmmmmhmmmmmmm
You never get to choose
You live on what they sent you
And you know theyre gonna use
The things you love against you
One foot in the grave
One foot in the shower
Theres never time to save
Youre paying by the hour
C G Am
And thats just the way it goes
F
Falling awake
C G Am
And thats just the way it goes
F
musical interlude: just play the chords (C G Am F)
Slipping through the bars
Aware of the danger
Of riding in the cars
Taking candy from strangers
And youre never out of hand
Never out of pocket
Im supersonic man
Do you wanna buy a rocket?
C G Am
Oh, thats just the way it goes
F C G Am
Falling awake...falling awake
F C
Hmmm
C G Am
And thats just the way it goes
F C G Am
Falling awake...falling awake
F C
Eagle in the dark
Feathers in the pages
Monkeys in my heart
Are rattling their cages
I could learn to play the game
I could learn to run the hustle
If I only had the brains
The money or the muscle
play chords over and over(C G Am F) until the end
