B
Up in smoke, pop goes the culture
G#m           E
The tension blew it up
        B
We're choking from a bleeding ulcer
G#m              E
We eventually threw it out so
G#m         E      B                   F#
What went wrong? Where's the voice of reason?
G#m        E        B            F#
It's long gone, we lost it long ago
G#m         E             B          F#
Apathy plus ice fill the void of motivation
G#m             E
I can hardly breathe at all

Chorus:
B          F#
Confusion's all I see
G#m        E
Frustration surrounds me
B        F#
Solution, bid farewell
G#m      E
Sedation, what the hell?

I broke the mirror to the past
to find what I was looking for
The bleeding heart of broken glass is
all I found and nothing

More regrets short of no correction
Paid my debts to anxiety
The iron lung collapsed from
the pressure and the swelling
I can hardly breathe at all

Chorus - x2

G#m       E
Dead-end roads
G#m          E
And warning signs
G#m    E      F#
Destination nowhere
    B
In sight

             B
Divided we stand
             F#
Together we fall
               G#m
There isn't a God
                 E
That can save us all
                        B
So don't pray on your knees
                   F#
Just, beg on your hands
              G#m
There is no belief
                E
In this promised land
             B
Divided we stand
             F#
Together we fall
           G#m
There's no God
                 E
That can save us all
                        B
So don't pray on your knees
                   F#
Just, beg on your hands
              G#m
There is no belief
                  E
In this promised land
              B
There's no belief

Chorus - x2
