[Intro]

[Verse 1]
         Bm7
'Cause I know that time has numbered my days
                       Gadd9          D
And I'll go along with everything you say
         Bm7
But I'll ride home laughing,
look at me now
But the walls of my town,
         Gadd9          D
they come     crumbling down
       Bm7
And my ears hear the call of my unborn sons
                         Gadd9           D
And I know their choices colour all I've done
           Bm7
But I'll explain it all to the watchman's son
                          Gadd9           D
I ain't ever lived a year better spent in love

[Chorus]
            Gadd9   Aadd11
'Cause I'll know my weakness,
Bm7     D
know my voice
Gadd9           Aadd11   Bm7       D     Asus4/C#
And I'll believe      in grace and choice
      Gadd9   Aadd11   Bm7      D
And I know perhaps  my heart is farce
    Gadd9   Aadd11    Bm7   D
But I'll be born  without a mask,
Asus4/C#
        uh

[Verse 2]
D         Bm7
 Like the city that nurtured my greed and my pride
                    Gadd9    D
I stretched my arms into the sky
      Bm7
I cry Babel! Babel! Look at me now
Then the walls of my town,
         Gadd9          D
they come     crumbling down
        Bm7
You ask where will we stand in the winds that will howl
                   Gadd9         D
As all we see will slip into the cloud
        Bm7
So come down from your mountain and stand where we've been
                       Gadd9            D
You know our breath is weak and our body thin

[Bridge]
D/F#         Gadd9
    Press my nose up,
       D
to the glass around your heart
D/F#            Gadd9       D
    I should've known I was weaker from the start
D/F#                  Gadd9            Bm7     Aadd11     Gadd9
    You'll build your walls and I will play my bloody part
         D/F# D/E D
To tear, tear them down
               Bm7   D/F# D/E D
Well I'm gonna tear, tear them down

[Chorus]
            Gadd9   Aadd11
'Cause I'll know my weakness,
Bm7     D
know my voice
Gadd9           Aadd11   Bm7       D     Asus4/C#
And I'll believe      in grace and choice
      Gadd9   Aadd11   Bm7      D
And I know perhaps  my heart is farce
    Gadd9   Aadd11    Bm7   D   Asus4/C#
But I'll be born  without a mask
