Intro:
Bb – C – Bb – C – Bb
C – Bb – C – Bb (3x)

D/C                          C
Up in the sterilized room
                    Am7
Where they let you be lazy
F7                                               C
Know-ing your attitudes are wrong
                         Am7
And you gotta change, and it’s not easy

F7                                                 G
Drag-ons shining with all values known
F7                                                   G       F   G   C
Daz-zling you, keeping you from your own
F7                                            C
Where is the lion in you to de-fy him
                            Am7
When you’re this weak and this spacey?

      D/C
So what are you gonna do about it
C               Am7
You can’t live life and you can’t leave it
       F7                                        C
Ad-vice and religion you can’t take it
                 Am7
You can’t seem to believe it

        F7                                    G
The pea-cock is afraid to pa-rade
            F7                                    G  F  G  C
You’re un-der the thumb of a maid
        F7                                                  C
You real-ly can’t give love in this con-di-tion
               Am7
Still you know how you need it

                       C       G7/B
Then open and close        you
                                             Am7
Then they talk like they know       you
                         G
They don’t know you
                                         C          G7/B
They’re friends and they’re foes too, trouble child,
G/D                        Dsus4              G
Brea-king like the waves at Malibu

Bb – C – Bb – C – Bb
C – Bb – C – Bb (3x)

      D/C
So why does it come as such a shock
C                              Am7
To know you really have no one?
F7                                      C
On-ly a river of changing fa-ces
Am7
Looking for an ocean

          F7                                         G
They tric-kle through your leaky plans
               F7                          G  F  G
Another dream over the dam
C                 F7
And you’re ly-ing in some room
                            C                 Am7
Feeling like your right to be hu-man
                       G
Is going over too

                              C         G7/B
But some are gonna knock          you
                              Am7
And some’ll try and clock you
G
You know it’s really hard
C                           G7/B
To talk sense to you, trouble child
G/D                        Dsus4           G
Breaking like the waves at Malibu

Bb – C – Bb – C – Bb
C – Bb – C – Bb (2x)
