           Em                            G
Well, our souls are all mistaken in the same misguided way
   D                                Em
We all end up forsaken, we're just choosing our own way
     Em                       G
The future now incinerates before our very eyes
     D                               Em
And leaves us with the emptiness of no more tries
           Em                        G
Well, our visions of glory now have spiraled down the drain
     D                                Em
The best of our intentions now come crashing down in flames
                                   G              D/F#
The depths of our despair we are unable to contain
              G
It's shallow living

Chorus:
    Em
The noose is falling
    G
And all my friends are crawling
     D
The noose is falling
    Em
And enemies are rising
  Em
A truth appalling
     G
Our Maker comes a-calling
     D
The noose is falling
    Em
And enemies are rising

Well, the tracers from yesteryear are burning in the dust
Your bruises are reminders of naivety and trust
You're only feeling stronger ’cause your body's getting numb
Now I lay you down
Put the coins in your eyes
And blow the candles out

Chorus - x2

Em
No more! (No more!)
G
No more! (No more!)
D       Em
Nothing!
Em
No more! (No more!)
G
No more! (No more!)
D    Em
Ever!
Em       G    D Em
No (No!) more!
Em       G    D Em
No (No!) more!

Chorus

    Em
The noose is falling
    C
And all my friends are crawling
     D
The noose is falling
    Em                 Em7 Em
And enemies are rising!
