Am    C    G    D 
 
Am 
There?s a swelling in my chest 
C 
And I here you slam the door 
G 
And I try to catch my breath 
D 
And the smoke began to pour 
Am 
We were angry for so long 
C 
But we don?t pretend to hide 
G                                                  D 
The truth that proves to strong to keep it bottled up inside

             Am 
To get it right

Am 
Well I smell the neighbors? smoke 
C 
Comin? in through my window  
G 
And I?d damn sure have one now  
D 
But I quit a year ago 
Am 
And I?m staring right straight down 
C 
At the rust spots in the sink 
G 
But I?m too pissed off to talk about it  
D 
Too messed up messed up to think about  
Am 
The reasons I should stay  
C 
And the need I feel to go 
G 
But I know I will remain  
D 
And I do my best to glow

Well we learned to took for freedom 
C 
Once we were enslaved 
G 
We can?t release our spirits  
D 
Until we purge the rage

You ain?t got no kind of future  
C 
You?ve just been chewing on the past  
G 
You better change you rage cowboy up  
D 
and choke your pride down fast
