(I decided to do the chords to this song,
as the ones I've come across on this,
and other websites haven't been quite so accurate
with missing chords, etc. Please rate if you like,
or don't for that matter - hoping to do a proper
TAB of this song in due time
to go over the background picking, open to
any suggestions or corrections)
Standard Tuning: E A D G B E
[Bm]Tired old man you're [D]wasting [A]slowly [Bm]battling grey and [D]blu[E]e
[Bm]Built your empire [G]as a shell so [D]nobody prays on [A]you[E][Bm]
[Bm]Remember when you were [D]fresh and [A]bitter like a [Bm]blossom in its [D]bu[E]d
[Bm]Struggle to keep the [G]memories [D]free from the sweat and [A]blood[E][Bm]
[D]Just to generalize you [A]sleep and you rise you [E]fail to recog[Bm]nize

The [Bm7]highway of de[Bm]nial
Interlude (chord sequence in first 2 lines)
Bm D A | Bm D E
Bm G | D A E Bm
[Bm]What a funny way to [D]spend the [A]day like a [Bm]farmer deep in [D]deb[E]t
[Bm]Tending to the [G]coming harvest, ever [D]trying to for[A]get[E][Bm]
[Bm]Don't you feel like you wanna [D]run a[A]way from the [Bm]mess that you've [D]begu[E]n
[Bm]Now that they won't [G]let you make it [D]up as you go a[A]long[E][Bm]
[D]Just to generalize you [A]sleep and you rise you [E]fail to recog[Bm]nize
[D]Like the Red Queen you're [A]running out of steam every [E]mile
The [Bm7]highway of de[Bm]nial
