[Verse]
G                       Em
You want to worship its feelings
Am
The ones who's squeezing
    D                G
the shame from every man
                      Em
And if mama says it's dinner time,
Am                Cm         Bm
If she ruins your love, run away
                 Em
So you live in a prison
Bm                        Em
Oh so you're wasting your life
Bm              C
On a system you never
          D
will understand
Are you the one I dreamed of.

G                       Em
Won't you walk down the main
street
Am
Take the bridge over

never ending rails
            Em
And even if you're falling down

That's an open door
               Bm
to the outside world
                 Em
So you live in a bubble
