E
Once I had my heroes
Once I had my dreams
But all of that is changed now
      D
The truth begins again
      C                             E
The truth is not that comfortable, no

Mother taught us patience
The virtues of restraint
Father taught us boundaries
The knowledge we must go
I'm trying to protect my unity

Chorus:
B              A              C#m
That's when I reach for my revolver
B              A              C#m
That's when it all gets blown away
B              A              C#m
That's when I reach for my revolver
B           A             C#m
The spirit passes by this way

A friend of mine once told me
His one and only aim
To build a giant castle
And in it sign his name
Sign it with complete community

Chorus

Now that the sky is empty
And that is nothing new
Instead they look upon us
When they tell me
That we're nothing
I say!

Chorus - x2
