B
People talk about anarchy
    E
And taking up a fight
B
Well I'm afraid of things like that
  E                E/A
I lock my doors at night

I don't rape, and I don't pillage
E
Other peoples' lives
B
I don't practice what you preach
      E                      E/A

B
I can't think of anything
     E
That makes me more upset
B
People talk all this rhetoric

THE SONG (/ indicates rhythm):

    D5      A5  /  B5   /    /     E5  B5  /  C#5  G#5  F#5     
I'm running out of time this time
     D5     A5    /  B5   /    /   E5  B5  /  C#5  G#5  F#5 
This time I can't be late
     D5     A5   /  B5   /    /    E5  B5  /  C#5  G#5  F#5 
I've got to find my destiny
  D5      A5    /  B5   /    /     E5  B5  /  C#5  G#5  F#5 
Before it turns to fate


Chorus:

C#5 D5      B5          C#5     D5   B5  
I   feel so insecure, I feel so all alone
C#5    D5         B5              C#5 D5 B5
I need something, some possession of  my own


  D5    A5  /      B5   /    /     E5  B5  /  C#5  G#5  F#5 
I reach for what I want
  D5     A5  / B5       /    /     E5  B5  /  C#5  G#5  F#5 
I see it in my sleep
     D5      A5  / B5   /    /     E5  B5  /  C#5  G#5  F#5 
It's hard to get a hold of it
         D5    A5 / B5  /    /     E5  B5  /  C#5  G#5  F#5 
And it's twice as   hard to keep


C#5 D5      B5          C#5     D5   B5  
I   feel so insecure, I feel so all alone
C#5    D5         B5              C#5 D5 B5
I need something, some possession of  my own

  D5       A5   /  B5    /  /       E5  B5  /  C#5  G#5  F#5 
I grab the rope in front of me
         D5        A5  /     B5 / / E5  B5  /  C#5  G#5  F#5 
It keeps slipping through my hands

Yeah, I know there's something dragging in  my brain


D5  A5    / B5   /  /            E5  B5  /  C#5  G#5  F#5 
Now another rope appears
     D5     A5    /  B5 /  /     E5  B5  /  C#5  G#5  F#5 
I've got it snug and tight
 D5     A5    /    B5      /  /  E5  B5  /  C#5  G#5  F#5 
This is one that I can't let go of
D5 A5 /   B5   /  /              E5  B5  /  C#5  G#5  F#5 
No matter how I fight


C#5   D5       B5               C#5    D5       B5
