[Intro]
Am
[Strophe]
      Am        Am       Am          Am 
Cos i know that time has numbered my days 
         Am  Am        F    F         C     F  C  F  C  F  C  F 
And I'll go along with everything you say 
         Am        Am       Am         Am 
But I'll ride home laughing Look at me now 
            Am          Am 
Through the walls of my town 
          F    F    C     F  C  F  C  F  C  F 
they come crumbling down
[Strophe]
       Am            Am         Am     Am 
And my ears hear the call of my unborn sons 
      Am        Am     F      F        C     F  C  F  C  F  C  F 
And I know that coices colour all I've done 
         Am         Am         Am         Am 
But I'll explain it all to the watchman's son 
        Am    Am           F      F        C     F  C  F  C  F  C  F 
I ain't never lived a year better spent in Love
[Refrain]
         Am      G         C       F 
Cos I'll know my weakness, know my voice 
    Am      G       C         F      G 
And I'll believe in grace and choice 
      Am      G       C        F 
And I know perhaps my heart is fast 
    Am      G        C     F     G 
But I'll be born without a mask

[Strophe]
         Am        Am          Am           Am 
Like the city that nurtured my greed and my Pride 
  Am         Am   F F      C     F  C  F  C  F  C  F 
I stretch my arms into the sky 
      Am     Am    Am         Am 
I cry Babel, Babel look at me now 
            Am          Am 
Through the walls of my town

The come crumbling down
[Strophe]
        Am            Am 
You ask where will we stand  
       Am              Am 
in the winds that will have 
   Am     Am       F      F      C     F  C  F  C  F  C  F 
as all we see will slip into the cloud 
        Am             Am           Am             Am 
So come down from your mountain and stand where we been 
    Am       Am        F            F   C     F  C  F  C  F  C  F 
You know our breath is weak and our body thin
[Pont]
C        F              C 
Press my nose up to the glass 
            C 
around your heart 
C          F           F      F        C 
I shoul've known I was weaker from the start 
C                 F                G       F      Am 
You'll build your walls and I will play my bloody part 
   Am    Am   F    C 
To tear, tear them down 
               Am    F    F    C 
Well I'm gonna tear, tear them down

Cos I'll know my weakness, know my voice 
    Am      G       C         F      G 
And I'll believe in grace and choice 
      Am      G       C        F 
And I know perhaps my heart is fast 
    Am      G        C     F     G 
But I'll be born without a mask
