[Intro 1]
[G][F][G][F][C]

[Verse 1]
[G]Some people say they know it
[F]For others, it's belief
[G]Say they'd rather know than
know it's make-believe
[F]For [C]For[G] those that have
outgrown [F]it
Those that up and [G]leave
Know you can't control
what's clearly mys[F]tery

[Verse 2]
Oh, I've [C]longed to start the fires
[D]So while I am still breathing
There [G]is a revolution in the Re[C]public

[Interlude 1]
of Eden
[C][G][F][G][F]
[C][G]

[Verse 3]
Consider the [G]lion[F]
Lying on the [G]plain
Watch his eyes as he sur[C]veys [G]the [F]pride
and wildebeest [C]remains[G]
Though he may not [F]show
He's the king of his domain
[G]And woe betide the lion that tries
to chal[F]lenge his reign

[Verse 4]
Well, he [C]owes and he owns
nothing
[D]He's standing still, not breathing
In his [G]eyes, the revolution in the
Re[C]public of Eden

[Interlude 2]
[C][G][F][G][F]
[C]

[Verse 5]
[G]And those exploring planets
[F]Report no signs of God[G]
By the whirling firmament
Out the win[F]dow of [G]the fuselage
[F]And[C] th[G]e space between us
[F]Yet there's no us or them
[G]Whether we were born of a bang
Or the [F]aftermath [C]of re[F]quiem

[Verse 6]
Oh, [C]I am a raging fire
[D]I'm standing still, not breathing
Yes, I [G]am the revolution in the
Re[C]public of Eden

[Interlude 3]
[C][G][F][G][F]

[Verse 7]
Oh well, we [C]owe and we own
nothing
[D]We're standing still, not breathing
Yes, we [G]are the revolution
in the [C]Re public of Eden
