Tom: G

Em                       G
Looking down on the cars on the highway
D
The stream of tail lights
Em                  G
Everybody advancing together
D
Do so willingly sacrifice rights

Em                     G
When people accept they're cogs in the system
D
Give up free will, conform

Em                G
Individual pieces of dust swirl together
D
Become a full storm

Em                     G
Looking down on the burgeoning city
D
The skyscrapers rise

Em                G
Even men with the greatest intentions
D
Start believing their own lies

Em            G
We can borrow from the future
D
But eventually someone's got to pay

Em               G
The only way out of the cycle
D
Is to strike out and pave your own way

Em G D(x2)

Em            D
We all fight our own fight
C                 D
Will you fuel the desire to win

Em                D
Always struggling with the truth
C                     A
Of the life that might have been

Em                       D
But no matter how jagged your path is
G                      D
You'll always come back to the road

Em               D
When the dust of battle settles
C                A
The war still rages within
