[Am] Don't believe what you [Em] hear
[Am] Don't believe what you [Em] see
[Am] If you just close your [Em] eyes
You can [Am] feel the [Em] enemy
[Am] When I first met you [G] girl
You had [Fmaj7] fire in your [Em7] soul
[Am] What happened your [G] face
Of [Fmaj7] melting [Em7] snow?
Now it [C] looks like this
And [Am7] you can swallow, or you can spit
You can [F] throw it up, or [G] choke on it
And [C] you can dream
So [Am7] dream out loud
You [F] know that your
[G] time is coming [Am7] 'round
So [F] dont let the [G] bastards grind u down
No, [Am] nothing makes [Em] sense
[Am] Nothing seems to [Em] fit
I [Am] know you'd hit [Em] out
If you [Am] only knew who to [Em] hit
And [Am] I'd join the [G] movement
If there was [Fmaj7] one
I could [Em7] believe in
Yeah I'd [Am] break bread and [G] wine
If there was a [Fmaj7] church
I could [Em7] receive in
'cause I [C] need it now
To [Am7] take a cup, to fill it up
To [F] drink it slow, I can't [G] let you go
[C] I must be an [Am7] acrobat
To [F] talk like this, and [G] act like that
And [C] you can dream, so [Am7] dream out loud
And [F] don't let the
[G] bastards grind you down
[Em7] Oh, it hurts baby
(What are we going to do now it's
all been said No new ideas in the
house and every book has been read)
[C] I must be an [Am7] acrobat
To [F] talk like this, and [G] act like that
And [C] you can dream, so [Am7] dream out loud
And [F] you can find, your [G] own way out
[C] You can build, and [Am7] I can will
And [F] you can call, I can't [G] wait until
[C] You can stash, and [Am7] you can seize
In [F] dreams begin, [G] responsibilities
And [C] I can love, and [Am7] I can love
And I [F] know that the
[G] tide is turning [Am7] 'round
So [F] don't let the
[G] bastards grind you [Am] down
