	        Em  
I've been misplaced in so many ways  
Bbm                                     Em  
Broken battlegrounds  hiding veils of delicate deceit  
Am  
Yet here I breathe  
Em  
Teeth still gleam from holy water  
      D  
While millions of lambs migrate to the slaughter  
   B7                   Em                    Am  
My head in a bag and my hands are bound to my feet  
      D      C  
Ans voices sing:  

B7  
'Were we erased like common thieves?  
Em  
Tossed in a cell to feast with the fleas  
B7                              C  
All because we never written a word.'  

            G  
What will I see  tonight in these eyes  
    D           Em            C  
And what will I know when the morning comes?  
Em    D           G  
      What will I see  tonight in these eyes  
    D           Em            C                Em    D  
And what will I know when the morning comes?  

Em  C  D-C  

B7                                      Em  
Must we remind of exchanges existing so long ago?  
B7  
Would we arrive at agreeable musings?  
Em             D       C  
Sentimental or just confusing  
   B7  
We lost what we had but we took it back  
Am                     G          C  
Friends in the gutter  enjoy one another  
B7                                                    C  
Just give yourself to the dust and the dirt where you stand  

Em  D           G  
    What will I see  tonight in these eyes  
    D           Em            C  
And what will I know when the morning comes?  
Em  D           G  
    What will I see  tonight in these eyes  
    D           Em            C  
And what will I know when the morning comes?  

Em  G           Am  
I'm not who you think I am  
B7              C  
  And even if I thought you'd known  
B7                   Am  
  I never would have told you so  
          G  
And more alarming  

I would have done the very same  

Would have stole more than your name  

Would have cursed and bought the world on your shoulders  
             B7                    (B7)  
I was in the wrong place... At the right time  

(Em  D  G  
G  D  Em  C) (2x)  

    Em         D         G  
And what's the worst I'd see  
   (G)      D           Em    C  
By giving myself to the earth below me  
    Em          D       G  
Not knowing how far I'd fall  
   (G)     D        Em   C  
by casting away the ordinary?  
     Em       D     G  
Just how long can I stay  
   (G)      D      Em        C  
in illusions formed here long before me?  
    Em       D      G  
And how long can I breathe  
    (G)   D           Em   C  
the stolen breath here undeneath?  

(Em  D  G  
G  D  Em  C) (5x)  

Em  D  G  
G  D  C  E  

E            G      D          C  
There's that subtle smile that did me in  
D   E           G    D           C  
She moves an agony reminds where I've been  
D   E                   G        G      C  
She breathes  'I'd never let this happen again.'  

Where's her heart?  
Mimicking the patriarch?  
She's naive
