Dm                             
Am   
They sentenced me to twenty years of boredom

Am  
For trying to change the system from within
       
Dm

Dm                        
Am  
I'm guided by a signal in the heavens
       
Dm                         
Am   
I'm guided by this birthmark on my skin
       
Dm                         
Am   
I'm guided by the beauty of our weapons

I'd really like to live beside you, baby

Moving through the station

I told you I was one of those

       
Dm              
You loved me as a loser
               
Am                         
but now your worried that I just might win
     
Dm                    
You know the way to stop me
         
Am                      
but you don't have the discipline
     
Dm                           
How many nights I prayed for this:
    
Am              
to let my work begin
