[C]The[Gsus4]re’s a ho[G]le [Gsus4]in[C]
the ceiling where the weather gets [Am]in

[Verse 2]
[Dm]It’s been there for ages
but you [G]try and pretend

[Verse 3]
That [C]it’s just a reflection
of the [Am]hole in the floor

[Verse 4]
That [Dm]fills up with water every
[G]time that it storms

[C]humming [G]your favorite song
[Am][G]

him

[Verse 7]
There’s a [C]chorus of killers
singing [Am]outside your door

[Verse 8]
The [Dm]scientist prophesied [G]all that’s in store

[Verse 9]
For [C]king and for country as you
[Am]fall on your sword

[Verse 10]

[F]can I tell you [G]the secret
[C]if I don’t remember the [F]words?

[Verse 14]
[F]How can we keep playing favor[G]ites [Em]when
who’s to say what [Am]we deserve?[G]

[F]All of our heroes are fam[G]ous but
[Em]Su perman died in a chair

[Verse 16]
[Am]If a[G]ny a[F]mong you is blameless,[Gsus4]
[G]you can cas[C]t the first stone but[Am] I can’t keep pretending[G] to care
[F]

[Verse 17]
There’s a [C]clock somewhere counting
the [Am]hours and days

[Verse 18]
[Dm]That make up the memory
of all [G]our mistakes

[Verse 19]
And [C]who’s guilty conscience [Am]will carry the weight
of the [Dm]future unwritten on the [G]filthiest plate?

your Christi[Fm]an belief [C]aren’t really that [G]different [Am]at all

[Verse 21]
[F]If something from somewhere is [C]guiding your steps,
[Dm]what will you [G]do if [C]you’re wrong?
