Heretic

Capo: 1st fret

[Verse 1]
Am                      F
It's such a perfect day to be washed away
C                               Em
I went and sat by the shore and I counted the waves
Am                            F
I counted a hundred and eight reasons I want to escape
C                                 Em
But then the reasons, they'd crash upon the shore and they'd break
 
Am                               F
I don't think I've got the stamina for this anymore
 
C                             Em
I'm not sure, that's why I'm here by the shore
          Am
But I'm sure that I'm so tired
                 F
Of searching for messiahs
N.C.
Asking why, why, why, why, why, why
N.C.
Must I battle this Goliath
 
 
[Verse 2]
Am                      F
I'm a force of nature, don't you know I'm aware of it
C                               Em
But I'm so very sick of feeling so very sick
Am                            F
I'm tortured by the gods, I guess that I'm a heretic
C                          Em
Life keeps on fuckin' me, I wish that life was celibate
 
Am                      F
My problems keep on peaking like the Everest
C                          Em
The elephant in the room is that my room is in the elephant
Am                      F
Becoming evident that we make fear president
C                          Em
When fear trumps love, that's when the soul becomes irrelevant
 
 
[Chorus]
Am      F
Ah-ah, ah-ah
C       Em
Ah-ah, ah-ah
Am      F
Ah-ah, ah-ah
C       Em
Ah-ah, ah-ah
 
 
[Verse 3]
Am
When my troubles keep on mountin'
F
I make molehills out of mountaing
C
Roundabouts of doubt are sounding
Em
Drown my youth inside the fountain
 
 
N.C.
I'm a fuckin' atom bomb, bitch
N.C.
Pourin' salt into the wound
N.C.
Watch me rip apart that stitch
          Am
I'm that kid
                           F
The one that life's subtracted
                 C
Isolated, fractured
                  Em
Shakespeare reenacted, adapted
           Am
For music, it's too sick
            F
I'm shining like Kubrick
            C
My method is clockwork
            Em
A full metal dude with
Am    F            C
My eyes on the prize
         Em
Do you obey, do you abide?
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Am                      F
What is the price of creativity
C                  Em
Is it losing your mind?
Am                      F
And seeing patterns in the places
C                  Em
Where the pattern's hard to find
 
 
[Chorus]
Am     F
Ah-ah, ah-ah
C      Em
Ah-ah, ah-ah
Am     F
Ah-ah, ah-ah
C      Em
Ah-ah, ah-ah
 
Am         F
All alone, all alone
C          Em
All alone, all alone
Am         F
All alone, all alone
C          Em
All alone, all alone
 
Am  F  C  Em
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Am F  C  Em
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Am F  C  Em
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Am F  C  Em
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Am F  C  Em
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Am F  C  Em
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Am F  C  Em
Ooh, ooh, ooh
