[Verse 1]
[Am]It's a sign of the ages[Esus4]
Markings on [E]my mind[Caug][E][Am]
Men at [E]the crossroads[Esus4]
At odds with an [E]angry sky

[Verse 2]
[C]
[G]There can be no [C]salvation[G][F]
[C]There can be [F]no [Bb]rest
Un[F]til all old cus[Bb]toms[G#]
Are put to [F]the [E]test
[Am]

[Verse 3]
The gods are all [D]angry[Am]
[Esus4]You hear from the breez[E]e[Am]
As night slams like [Esus4]a hammer
[E]Yea[A]h, and[E] you drop

[Verse 4]
to your knees
[C]
The questions can't be
[G]answered[F]
You're al[C]ways haunted [F]by [Bb]the past
The [C]world's full of chil[Bb]dren[C][Am][G#]
Who grew up [F]too [E]fast

[Verse 5]
[Am]Yeah, but where can you [Esus4]run
Since there ain't no world
[E]of [Caug]your ow[E]n[Am]
And you know that no one will ever miss you,
[E]yeah [Esus4]yeah yeah
When [E]you're fi[Caug]nally go[E]ne

[Verse 6]

[Am]Or you g[F]o out and ge[Am]t high[F][Bb]

Maybe peace when [F]you [E]die, yeah
