Intro: C F Am F
C G
Eagle in the dark
Am F
Feathers in the pages
C G
Monkeys in my heart
Am F
Are rattling their cages.
Found a way to blue
And another ghost to follow
Said �it�s only up to you�
It�s the hardest pill to swallow.
hmmmmmmmm�hmmmmmmm
You never get to choose
You live on what they sent you
And you know they�re gonna use
The things you love against you
One foot in the grave
One foot in the shower
There�s never time to save
You�re paying by the hour
C G Am
And that�s just the way it goes
F
Falling awake
C G Am
And that�s just the way it goes
F
musical interlude: just play the chords (C G Am F)
Slipping through the bars
Aware of the danger
Of riding in the cars
Taking candy from strangers
And you�re never out of hand
Never out of pocket
I�m supersonic man
Do you wanna buy a rocket?
C G Am
Oh, that�s just the way it goes
F C G Am
Falling awake...falling awake
F C
Hmmm
C G Am
And that�s just the way it goes
F C G Am
Falling awake...falling awake
F C
Eagle in the dark
Feathers in the pages
Monkeys in my heart
Are rattling their cages
I could learn to play the game
I could learn to run the hustle
If I only had the brains
The money or the muscle
play chords over and over(C G Am F) until the end
