[G]Choosing [Eb]my re[F]sources [Eb]at ran[G]dom [Eb]end[F]ea[Eb]vours
[G]As the [Eb]fool thinks [Ab]so the [Db]bell clinks
[Gb]Fall for [Cb]my own pain
[E]There's a tiny step [B]from the [E]sublime to [B]the ri[Db]dicu[Ab]lous
[E]Thoroughly rela[B]ted [Eb]which one am [Ab]I?
[Ab]So much [E]to be [Gb]learned from [E]this new [Ab]age [E]of [Gb]rea[E]son
[Ab]This is [E]what it [A]shouts and [D]screams
Loud[G]ly in[C]to my ear
[F]Every single man [C]he [F]has a fool in his [C]sleeve
[D]Whether [A]he [F]wants it there or not
[C]It [E]breeds [A]sanity
(CHORUS)
[Am]One step [D]above the [A]sublime it a[G]mounts
To the [C]feeling in[D]side Jon re[E]jects
Jon re[Am]jects every [D]feeling in[A]side, step a[Dm]bove
The sub[G]lime to the [D]ridicul[C]ou[F]s
[Am]Dismissing [D]thoughts in a [A]head he re[G]fuse
To [C]accept taking [D]logic with[E]in
Within [Am]logic with[D]in every[A]thing he re[G]fuse
He [Cm]fears [F]his [Cm]creepies[F]t thoughts
(only bass for the first part)
Stupid soldier he's falling shot without purpose
Stupid soldier shot at random
Dies without respect
[E]Where's the harm in that? [B]He [E]should have kept a sane [B]mind [Db]after [Ab]all
[E]How can he be trus[B]ted [Eb]after he [Ab]dies?
[Ab]Level [E]head sat [Gb]proudly [E]on the [Ab]wis[E]est [Gb]shoul[E]ders
[Ab]Stares an [E]eyefull [A]toward his [D]sister
[G]Smiles a [C]wiliest smile
[F]Isn't life a wheeze [C]when [F]treasure's in the [C]trees and [D]I pos[A]sess
[F]Longer arms than you [C]or [E]anyone [A]else?
(CHORUS)
[Am]One step [D]above the [A]sublime it a[G]mounts
To the [C]feeling in[D]side Jon re[E]jects
Jon re[Am]jects every [D]feeling in[A]side, step a[Dm]bove
The sub[G]lime to the [D]ridicul[C]ou[F]s
[Am]Dismissing [D]thoughts in a [A]head he re[G]fuse
To [C]accept taking [D]logic with[E]in
Within [Am]logic with[D]in every[A]thing he re[Dm]fuse
He [G]believe in a [D]thoughts and a [C]laugh[F]ter
[Db]Will [Eb]reign
