[Intro]
---------------------
E
[Verse 1]
---------------------
A/C#
Darkness at the break of noon
E
Shadows even the silver spoon
Dsus2
The handmade blade, the child's balloon
A/C#
Eclipses both the sun and moon
Am/C
To understand you know too soon
E
There is no sense in trying
[Verse 2]
---------------------
A/C#
Pointed threats, they bluff with scorn
E
Suicide remarks are torn
Dsus2
From the fool's gold mouthpiece
A/C#
The hollow horn plays wasted words
Am/C
Proves to warn
That he not busy being born
E
Is busy dying
[Verse 3]
---------------------
A/C#
Temptation's page flies out the door
E
You follow, find yourself at war
Dsus2
Watch waterfalls of a pity roar
A/C#
You feel to moan but unlike before
Am/C
You discover
That you'd just be
E
One more person crying
[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
E E Badd9/F#
So don't fear if you hear
E A/C#
A foreign sound to your ear
A/E C#m7/B A/C# B E
It's al___right, Ma, I'm only sighing
[Verse 4]
---------------------
E A/C#
As some warn victory, some downfall
E
Private reasons great or small
Dsus2
Can be seen in the eyes of those that call
A/C#
To make all that should be killed to crawl
Am/C
While others say don't hate nothing at all
E
Except hatred
[Verse 5]
---------------------
E A/C#
Disillusioned words like bullets bark
E
As human gods aim for their mark
Dsus2
Made everything from toy guns that spark
A/C#
To fleshcolored Christs that glow in the dark
Am/C
It's easy to see without looking too far
That not much
E
Is really sacred
[Verse 6]
---------------------
A/C#
While preachers preach of evil fates
E
Teachers teach that knowledge waits
Dsus2
Can lead to hundreddollar plates
A/C#
And goodness hides behind its gates
Am/C
But even the president of the United States
Sometimes must have
E
To stand naked
[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
E Badd9/F#
An' though the rules of the road have been lodged
E A/C#
It's only people's games that you got to dodge
A/E C#m7/B A/C# B E
And it's al___right, Ma, I can make it
[Verse 7]
---------------------
A/C# E
Advertising signs that con you
Into thinking you're the one
Dsus2
That can do what's never been done
A/C#
That can win what's never been won
Am/C
Meantime life outside goes on
E
All around you
[Verse 8]
---------------------
E A/C#
You lose yourself, you reappear
E
You suddenly find you got nothing to fear
Dsus2
Alone you stand with nobody near
A/C#
When a trembling distant voice, unclear
Am/C
Startles your sleeping ears to hear
That somebody thinks
E
They really found you
[Verse 9]
---------------------
A/C#
A question in your nerves is lit
E Dsus2
Yet you know there is no answer fit to satisfy
Insure you not to quit
A/C#
To keep it in your mind and not forget
Am/C
That it is not he or she or them or it
E E
That you belong to
[Chorus (3)]
---------------------
E Badd9/F#
Although the masters make the rules
E A/C#
For the wise men and the fools
A/E C#m7/B A/C# B E
I got nothing, Ma, to live up to
[Verse 10]
---------------------
A/C#
For them that must obey authority
E
That they do not respect in any degree
Dsus2
Who despise their jobs, their destinies
A/C#
Speak jealously of them not are free
Am/C
Do what they do just to be
Nothing more than something
E
They invest in
[Verse 11]
---------------------
A/C#
While some on principles baptized
E
To strict party platform ties
Dsus2
Social clubs in drag disguise
A/C#
Outsiders they can freely criticize
Am/C
Tell nothing except who to idolize
E
And then say God bless him
[Verse 12]
---------------------
A/C#
While one who sings with his tongue on fire
E
Gargles in the rat race choir
Dsus2
Bent out of shape from society's pliers
A/C#
Cares not to come up any higher
Am/C
But rather get you down in the hole
[Bridge 15]
---------------------
E
That he's in
[Chorus (4)]
---------------------
E Badd9/F#
But I mean no harm nor put fault
E A/C#
On anyone living in a vault
A/E C#m7/B A/C# B E
But it's al___right, Ma, if I can't please him
[Verse 13]
---------------------
E A/C#
Old lady judges watch people in pairs
E
Limited in sex, they dare
Dsus2
To push fake morals, insult and stare
A/C#
While money doesn't talk, it swears
Am/C
Obscenity, who really cares
E
Propaganda, all is phony
[Verse 14]
---------------------
A/C#
While them that defend what they cannot see
E
With a killer's pride, security
Dsus2
It blows the minds most bitterly
A/C#
For them that think death's honesty
Am/C
Won't fall upon them naturally
E
Life sometimes must get lonely
[Verse 15]
---------------------
E A/C#
My eyes collide headon with stuffed graveyards
False gods, I scuff
E
At pettiness which plays so rough
Dsus2
Walk upsidedown inside handcuffs
A/C#
Kick my legs to crash it off
Am/C
Say okay, I've had enough
E
What else can you show me?
[Chorus (5)]
---------------------
E Badd9/F#
And if my thoughtdreams could be seen
E A/C#
They'd probably put my head in a guillotine
A/E C#m7/B A/C# B E
But it's al___right, Ma, it's life, and life only
