G C G C
[Verse 1]
G Em
There are kids, lots of kids, who put the law inside a circle
C G D
As they jump, I hope that you will up and down, up and down
G Em
When did you cave into this role that you were cast in
C G D
When did dress-up turn to fashion, throw your gown up and down
[Chorus]
G C
There's always the sky, let it hear what you're saying
G C
For all that you are saying
Em C
And let it take you apart, to the elements of praying
G C
Til we are only playing to the firmament
G C
Til we are only playing to the firmament
[Verse 2]
G Em
In the rain, in the rain, people rush around on cold streets
C G D
Here's a shell to hear their heartbeats very loud, very loud
G Em
Where's the pain, it's only rain, it's only slowing down a work day
C G D
Only singing happy birthday to a crowd, very loud
[Chorus]
G C
There's always the sky, let it hear what you're saying
G C
For all that you are saying
Em C
And let it take you apart, to the elements of praying
G C
Til we are only playing to the firmament
G C
Til we are only playing to the firmament
[Bridge]
Em C
And when did sex get so mean, when did crime get so clean
Em C D
You know I just can't seem to find the soul in this striving
Em C
Why not play to a dream, cause the world is too green
Am D
For all this bad driving
[Verse 3]
G Em
What's the rush, dip your brush into this twilight
C G D
There are leaves upon the skylight, trace your hand, trace your hand
G Em
Mr. Emd, he shot ahead, he shot ahead inside a circle
C G D
On a bad day, who would you kill, take a stand, trace your hand
[Chorus]
G C
There's always the sky, let it hear what you're saying
G C
For all that you are saying
Em C
And let it take you apart, to the elements of praying
G C
Til we are only playing to the firmament
G C
Til we are only playing to the firmament
