Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][Gsus4][G][Gsus4][G]
[Gsus4]My

[Verse 1]
[G]eyes
are stuck on sleepless dreams
This world is never what it seems
We've [Em]sold it short,
it's what [G]we're taught
[C#dim]Lost it in the livi[Dsus4]ng[D]

[Verse 2]
Alle[C]giance is the strangest
[Bsus4]thing[B]
It's grown [C]too fast, [A]grown some wings
It's [C]flown away, [Dsus4]flown awa[C]y[D][G][D]

[Verse 3]
The [A]back [C#m]door to h[F#m]eaven[A]
is [Ebdim]open wide to me
[F#m]So when I'm wrappe[A]d up tight[C#m]
in the [F#m]hell of t[A]he night
Can I [Ebdim]still decide to [F#dim]be where the,
[D]the mad [C#sus4]road goes[C#]
'Neath [D]the [B]shapeless glow?

[Verse 4]
Or will we [Esus4]swop ourselves
like [E]children
[Esus4]For the v[E]alue of our innocence?
[F#m]A gentleman's a gold[E]en card an[A]d a red,
[E]red [Em]rose
[Gsus4][G][Gsus4]

[Verse 5]
[G]
[Gsus4]Transformed [G]by some strange alchemy
You stand apart and point to me
Then [Em]point to something I [G]can't see
It's a [C#dim]lousy rai[Dsus4]nbow anyw[D]ay

[Verse 6]
Alle[C]giance is the strangest
[Bsus4]thing[B]
It's grown [C]too fast, [A]grown some wings
It's [C]flown away,
[Dsus4]flown awa[C]y[Dsus4][D]

[Verse 7]
The [A]back [E]door [C#m]to hea[F#m]ven
[A]is ope[Ebdim]n wide to me
[F#m]So when I'm wrappe[A]d up tight[C#m]
[E]in [F#m]the hell of [A]the night
Can [Ebdim]I still decide t[F#dim]o be where the,[D]
the mad [C#sus4]road goes[C#]
'Neath [D]the [B]shapeless glow?

[Verse 8]
Or will we [E]swop [Esus4]ourselves
[E]like chil[Esus4]dren
[E]For the value of our innocence?
[F#m]A gent[E]leman's a golden card a[A]nd a red,
[E]red [C]rose

[Interlude 1]
[Gsus4][G][Gsus4][G][Gsus4][G][Gsus4][G][Gsus4][G]
[Gsus4]Your cheating

[Verse 9]
[G]heart will choose a way
To borrow, burn and throw away
Tomor[Em]row's same as [G]yesterday
It's a [Em]lousy [G]rainbow anyway

[Verse 10]
The [A]back [E]door [C#m]to hea[F#m]ven[A]
is [Ebdim]open wide to m[F#m]e
So when I'm [A]wrapped up [C#m]tight
[E]in [F#m]the hell of [A]the night
Can [Ebdim]I still decide t[F#dim]o be wher[D]e
the, the mad [C#sus4]road goes[C#]
'Neath [D]the [B]shapeless glow?
Or [F#m]will we

[Verse 11]
[Esus4]swop
ourselves [E]like children
For the value of our innocence?
[F#m]A gentleman[D]'s a gold[E]en card and [A]a red,

[Outro 1]
