D Deep in the back of my mind is an unrealized sound A# C D Every feeling I get from the street says it soon could be found When I hear the cold lies of the pusher I know it exists A# C D It's confirmed in the eyes of the kids emphasized with their fists F C D# A# But the high has to rise from the low F C D# A# Like volcanoes explode through the snow Gm F D#maj7 A7 The mosquito's sting brings a dream but the poisons derange Hmm D The music must change F For we're chewing a bone A Bm7 We soared like the sparrow hawk D A D Flied then we drop like a stone D Like the tide and the waves F Growing slowly in range A Bm7 D Crushing mountains as old as the earth, E D so the music must change change Sometimes at night I wake up and my body's like ice The sound of the running wild stallion, the noise of the m-mice And I wondered if then I could hear into all of your dreams I realize now it was really the sound of your screams But death always leads into life Like the street-fighter swallows the knife Am I so crazy to feel that it's here pre-arranged? The music must change It gets higher and higher Smolderin' like leaves in the sun Then it bursts into fire Its rhythm grows strong It's so new and so strange Like bells in the clouds, then again the music must change Change D G A But is this song so different? D G A Am I doing it all again? D G A It may have been done before D G A But then music's an open door Deep in the back of my mind is an unrealized sound Every feeling I get from the street says it soon could be found When I hear the cold lies of the pusher I know it exists It's confirmed in the eyes of the kids emphasized with their fists But the high has to rise from the low Like volcanoes explode through the snow The mosquito's sting brings a dream but the poisons derange The music must change For we're chewing a bone We soared like the sparrow hawk flied, then we dropped like a stone Like the tide and the waves growing slowly in range Crushing mountains as old as the earth, the music must change You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  A#  A7  C  D  D#  D#m  D#maj7  E  F  G  Gm  Bm  Bm7  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
