D  C# D A (2x)

[Verse 1]
D          C#           D    A
He held my hand when I died
D          C#           D    A
He told me all I could ask
G                         Bm
The politician bleats so blind
                   A                G
With his hard hat on rotating in a circle
                                 Bm
Gimme some rosacea, nicotine to stain ya
             A                   Em
Boys on the altar waiting to be crushed


[Pre-Chorus]
Em          Bm       A                         Em
(You wanna know) But as he takes the stage I'm gone
                     Bm         A
(You wanna know) Oh, what the hell is all this?


[Chorus]
G                        D          A
Oh, is it in the way he calls your name?
G                       D         A
Or is it in the way he prays for rain?
G                    Bm  A
The wheel is turning now
G                   Bm   A
It's really turning now

D  C#  D  A

[Break]
D
Bone, to the blade
C#
My letter, white feather, no halves
D
"Dread," that's what the devil said
A
My prison, my prison, my guard


[Verse 2]
D            C#        D   A
He laid his hands upon me
D        C#          D   A
He took ahold of my life
G                             Bm
The terror and the old blood screech
                    A                         G
When you mix those colours something's gonna happen
                                       Bm
I don't wanna see them, I don't wanna know them
                A                       Em
I spasm on the floor and wait for it to end


[Pre-Chorus]
Em          Bm       A                         Em
(You wanna know) But as he throws the crutches down
                                            Bm           A
(You wanna know) Eleven thousand knees bent let them know you're coming


[Chorus]
G                        D          A
Oh, is it in the way he calls your name?
G                       D         A
Or is it in the way he makes you pray?
G                    Bm  A
The wheel is turning now
G                   Bm   A
It's really turning now
