#Capo #2

C  F  x 4

   Am                F           C
I know that time has numbered my days
         Am            F              C
and I'll go along with everything you say

C  F  x 4

      Am                 F           C
But I ride home laughing look at me now
        Am                     F          C
and the walls of town they come crumbling down

C  F  x 4

        Am                      F     C
And my ears here the call of my unborn sons
      Am               F              C
and I know the choices cover all I've done

C  F  x 4

    Am                         F          C
But I'll explain it all to the watchman's son
  Am                 F                C
I never lived a year better spent and loved

C  F  x 4

          Am        F
Because I know my weakness
 C        Am
Know my voice
         F          C         G
And I'll believe in grace and choice
      Am       F      C         Am
And I know perhaps my heart is vast
            F      C         G
But I'll be born without a mask

C  F  x 4

         Am                  F             C
Like the city that nursed my greed and my pride
  Am                F      C
I stretch my arms into the sky

C  F  x 4

      Am            F         C
I cry Babel, Babel look at me now
         Am                        F          C
But the walls of my town they come crumbling down

C  F  x 4

        Am                         F               C
You ask where will we stand in the winds that will howl
    Am             F             C
As all we see will slip into the cloud

C  F  x 4

        Am                          F                 C
So come down from your mountain and stand where we've been
    Am                 F                 C
You know are breath is weak and our body thin

C  F  x 4

Am        F             C                 G
Press my nose up to the glass around your heart
  Am         F           C                G
I should've known I was weaker from the start


Am                F         C            G         Am
You'll build your walls and I'll play my bloody part
                   G    C
To tear, to  tear them down
                   Am    F         C
Well I'm going to tear, tear them down



          Am        F
Because I know my weakness
 C        Am
Know my voice
         F          C         G
And I'll believe in grace and choice
      Am       F      C         Am
And I know perhaps my heart is vast
            F      C         G
But I'll be born without a mask
