[Intro 1]
[Am][Dm][C5][Am][Dm][C5][Dm][Am]

[Verse 1]
[Dm]Some expired [C5]emergency
[Dm]The [Am]pleas broke off
with another [Dm]cuff
But isn't isn't just [C5]the worse
we're told [Dm]or
[Am]Wickedness starts with re
[G]mote [G5]con t[G]rol oh- oh- oh

[Verse 2]
[Dm]A penny lost,
[C5]for your thought[Am]s
A penny crushed in the steel [G]wheel but get it

[Interlude 1]
right
[Dm][F][C5][Am][Dm][G][F][C5][Am]

[Verse 3]
[Dm]The helpless sound of [C5]all that matters
Ar[Am]rested in such fable [C5]pains[Dm]
Habits form in such a [C]helpless [C5]shield from
[Dm]Grea[Am]ter force that will not[G]
yield oh- oh- oh
[C5][Cm]

[Verse 4]
[Eb]You kicked the dog
And then [Bb]didn't think it'd [C5]bite[Cm]
[Eb]You keep it wrong
And you'd [Bb]never make [G]it [F]right[G]
[Ab]You keep the world on an
[Eb]auction you won't [F]buy[G]
And [G#]everyone thinks the [Eb]talent's better
[Dm]

[G]

[Verse 5]
[Dm]Help this sound of [C5]all that's matter
[Dm]Amen[Am]d this cult of f[G]atal fates[C5]
[Dm]Is there any interest in
the [C5]words unspoken
[Am]Buried in thoughts under
paperweights oh- [Dm]oh- oh

[Verse 6]
Ten gallons in a [C5]hat you s[Dm]tole[Am]
Isn't this chugging [G]two lumps of [Dm]coal
As the goals don't [C5]resonate
[Dm]And [Am]you knew it is
[G]wasting innovating

[Verse 7]
[G]Oh [C5]what [Eb]a gum that you planted[Bb]
in [C5]the c[Cm]racks[C5][Eb]
Get to the room and it
[Bb]never pays [G]you [F]back
[G]You're jus[G#]t a run[F]ner in a
[Eb]race that made you [F]black
And [Ab]everyone thinks the [Eb]talent's [Cm]better
[Bb][F][Faug][A][Am][Eb][Cm]

[Verse 8]
[Bb]
You kicked [Adim]the[Cm][Bb][Adim]
[Eb][Cm][Bb][Adim][Cm]
[Eb]dog
And then [Bb]didn't think it'd [F]bite
[Ab]You'd keep it wrong
And you'd [Eb]never make it [F]right
[Ab]You're just a runner in the race[Eb]
that made you [F]black[G]
[G#]And everyone thinks the tale[Eb]nt's better

[Verse 9]
[F]You [G]kep[Ab]t the world on
an [Eb]auction you won't [F]buy
[Ab]And everyone thinks the tale[Eb]nt's better
