# VERSE 1
                    Dm            F
It's empty in the valley of your heart
                    Dm            F
The sun, it rises slowly as you walk
                     Dm                F        Am     F        Bb F
Away from all the fears and all the faults you've left behind
                     Dm               F
The harvest left no food for you to eat
                     Dm             F
You cannibal, you meat-eater, you see
                       Dm           F         Am      F    Bb F
But I have seen the same I know the shame in your defeat
# CHORUS
    F       Bb      F           F     Bb     F
But I will hold on hope and I won't let you choke
Bb       F      C
On the noose around your neck
     Dm          Bb        F        Dm      Bb      F
And I'll find strength in pain and I will change my ways
      Bb      F             C
I'll know my name as it's called again
Dm F x2
Dm F Am F Bb F

# VERSE 2
                       Dm             F
Cause I have other things to fill my time
                   Dm                  F
You take what is yours and I'll take mine
                      Dm               F       Am       F Bb F
Now let me at the truth which will refresh my broken mind
                  Dm               F
So tie me to a post and block my ears
                        Dm                F
I can see widows and orphans through my tears
                 Dm                      F        Am       F     Bb F
I know my call despite my faults and despite my growing fears
# CHORUS
# VERSE 3
                      Dm                   F
So come out of your cave walking on your hands
                     Dm           F
And see the world hanging upside down
                      Dm                    F       Am     F     Bb F
You can understand dependence when you know the maker's hand
# Bridge
     F         Bb      F      F     Bb      F
So make your siren's call and sing all you want
    Bb       F             C
I will not hear what you have to say
      Dm        Bb     F     Dm     Bb        F
Cause I need freedom now and I need to know how
     Bb      F          C
To live my life as it's meant to be

    For everyones playing pleasure: Tune down half a note to play alone with the song (since it's in E). So, instead of GCEA tune your uke to: F# B D# G#

    very accurate, but i'd play the intro as follows: ---0--------- ----3--1----- etc. ---------0--2 ------------- not quite so confusing for the picking. :)
