Am G F E E7 (Use E7 in the transition)(x2)
Am G E...
Am G F C C/B
Blacktop pavement cover me
Am Dm F G
Like a chemical reaction or a steamroller, spreading randomly
Am G F C
There's a distant buzz and low frequency
Am G F C C/G
It tickles my ears, rumbles under my feet
Dm Dm/F C G
And it shakes the leaves off of every tree
F C G
Vio—lent—ly
Am G Dm
What pretention! everlasting peace
F F/F# G G/G# Am
Eve—ry—thing must cease
Am G F E E7 (x2)
Am G E
Am G F C C/B
In—sti—tu—tion on the hill
Am Dm F G
Like a beacon in the mind of an ancestor to ignite a people's will
Am G F C
There's a shadow stain on the west facade
Am G F C C/G
It has spread like decay to enshroud the fraud
Dm Dm/F C G F C G
and the descendents find it oh so odd, oh so odd
Am G Dm
What pretention! everlasting peace
F F/F# G G/G# Am
Eve—ry—thing must cease
Am G F E E7 (X2)
Am G E
Am G F C C/B
Grave memorial, hewn white stone
Am Dm F G
Like the comforting caress of a mother or a friend you've always known
Am G F C
It evokes such pain and significance
Am G F C C/G
What was once is reduced to rememberence
Dm Dm/F C G
And the generations pass without recompense
F C G
Oh— Oh — Ohh
Am G Dm
What pretention everlasting peace
F F/F# G G/G#
Eve—ry—thing must... cease.
Am G F E E7 (x4)
end with Am.
