I Am the Ride Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am]
[E][Em][Am]
[E][Em][Am]

[Verse 1]
Forms [Am]are loosely fitting
[Em]Jury [E]still are sitting
Sense of duty keeps us all in mo[Am]tion
Prison sirens wailing
That se[E]curity is failing
Do not inspire a lifetime of devo[Am]tion
No [C]one will sympath[G]ize
[D]No one really [Dm]tries
They need a faith that leads
them like [E]a drum
And I can [Am]hear it pounding
[E]down [Em]among the [Am]ruins
[C]Sad to say, I [E]don't think [Am]I'm the only one.
[C][G]

[Interlude 1]
[D][Dm][E]
[Am][E][Am][C][E][Am]

[Verse 2]
I awoke and [Am]someone spoke
[E]They asked me in a whisper
If all my dreams and visions
had [Am]been answered
And I don't know what to say
I [E]never even pray
I just feel the pulse of
universal dan[Am]cers
They'll [C]waltz me till I [G]die
They'll [D]never tell [Dm]me why
I never stop to ask them
where [Am]we're go[E]ing
Yes, but the [Am]holy, the pro[E]fane
Are all [Am]helplessly insane
Wishful, [C]hopeful, [E]never even know[Am]ing.

[Interlude 2]
[Am][C][G]
[D][Dm][E][Am][E]
[Am][C][E][Am]
And they asked if I believe And [E]do the angels

[Verse 3]
really grieve
Or is it all a comforting in[Am]vention?
It's just like gravity, I said
It's not a pro[E]duct of my head
It doesn't speak,
but nonetheless commands [Am]attention
And I don't [C]care what
[G]it means
[D]Or who decorates [Dm]the scenes
The problem is more with
my sense [E]of pride
Because it keeps [Am]me thinking "me"
[Em]Instea[Am]d of what it is to be
I'm not a passen[C]ger, [Em]I am [Am]the ride
I'm not a passen[C]ger[E][Am]
I am the ride
