The Charade

Em  C  G  Bm


[Verse 1]

                              Em        C
Crawling through a systematic maze to demise
            Bm
Pain in our eyes
G                                      Em    C
Strain of drownin', wading through the lies
Bm                           G                           Em     C
Degradation so loud that you can't hear the sound of our cries
        Bm                        G                         Em        C
All the dreamers have gone to the side of the road which we relay on
Bm                  G
Inundated by media, virtual mind fucks in streams


[Chorus 1]

Em                     C
All we wanted was a chance to talk
Bm                      G
'Stead we only got outlined in chalk
Em                         C
Feet have bled a million miles we've walked
Bm                            G
Revealing at the end of the day, the charade


[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]

     Bm                   G                          Em         C
Perpetrators beware say a prayer if you dare for the believers
       Bm                     G                 Em      C
With a faith at the size of a seed enough to be redeemed
       Bm            G                          Em      C
Relegated to savages bound by the way of the deceivers
   Bm                          G
So anchors be sure that you're sure we ain't no amateurs


[Chorus 2]

Em                     C
All we wanted was a chance to talk
Bm                      G
'Stead we only got outlined in chalk
Em                         C
Feet have bled a million miles we've walked
Bm                            G
Revealing at the end of the day, the charade

[Bridge]

F#                       Bm
With the veil off our eyes we'll truly see
C           G
And we'll march on
F#
And it really won't take too long
F#                                 Em  C  Bm  G
And it really won't take us very long

[Outro]

Bm                            G        Em       C    Bm  G
Revealing at the end of the day, the charade
Em                     C
All we wanted was a chance to talk
Bm                      G
'Stead we only got outlined in chalk
Em                    C
'Stead we only got outlined in chalk
Bm                            G        Em
Revealing at the end of the day, the charade
                    C
All we wanted was a chance to talk
Bm                            G        Em
Revealing at the end of the day, the charade
                    C
All we wanted was a (the charade)
