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)
