[Intro]
 
Em
 
 
[Verse]
 
Em
Come for a fitting 

way of life
Em
It’s all the rage, 

enslaved, in style
Em
Come for a fitting 

a way of life
Em
Straight jacket fitting 

a little too tight
 
 
[Interlude]
 
F#
 
 
[Bridge]
 
Bm                    D
Hold me close, I’m confused,
                 F#
I don’t wanna go out
Bm                   D                        
Told myself “you can do this”, 
               F#
but I’m having doubts
    Bm                   
The old world melts like 
  C                   Bm  Bb  F#
a candle a flickering out 
 
 
[Chorus]
 
G            F#             D
What can you do? We’re all alone
             C               G
In times new Roman, No allegiance
             F#            D
Chasing your wish over the cliff
         C            E
If you insist on daydreaming.
C               E
Wake up we need you
C              E
No more daydreaming
C                 Em
Don’t fall asleep now
 
 
[Interlude]
 
Em
 
 
[Verse]
 
Em
How is the fitting way of life?
Em
Boa constricting a little too tight
Em
Friends close, enemies 

closer lend me your ear
Em
Safety’s an illusion that’s

 why it disappear
Em
Infiltrators, saboteurs 

affix your blades, steel your nerves
  Em
Maraud the facade cause

 the children want answers
   Em
Corrode, from inside, 

like a good type cancer
  Em
Oh piss on the clergy, 

the new age heathens
Em
The old guard, avant guard, technolojesus
    Em
The hand made jury, 

cage free, corporate raiders
Em
Patriotic, probiotic, deletist, eracists
    Em

The world she don’t need saving
           Em
‘Cept from you & me & our misbehaving
   Em
To face down your demons, 

you gotta free them
   Em
To seize all your demons, Carpe demon
 
 
[Interlude]
 
   F#
To face down your demons, 

you gotta free them
   Bm
To seize all your demons, 

Carpe demon
    F#                       
The look in your eyes 
       Bm
says I love you
      F#           Bm F#
Oh, I love you too
 
 
[Bridge]
 
Bm                    D

I don’t wanna go out
Bm                   D                        
Told myself “you can do this”, 
               F#
but I’m having doubts
    Bm                     
The old world melts like 
  D                   F#
a candle a flickering out
Bm               C                   
Still so much to lose 
               Bm      Bb   F#
& I’ve already lost so much
 
 
[Chorus]
 
G            F#             
What can you do? 
           D
We’re all alone
             C               
In times new Roman, 
          G
No allegiance
             F#            
Chasing your wish 
         D
over the cliff
         C            
If you insist 
        G
on daydreaming.
             F#                
What can you say? 
             D
Enjoy the buffet
             C                 
In times new Roman 
            G
or it’s treason
           F#
What you expect?
       D                    
I’m so goddamn sick 
        C
of this place
                E
Bring on the healing
C            E
Go on & heal me
C               E
Bring on the healing now
C             E
Good dogs lay down
