[Intro]
Abm Abm A F# x2
[Verse 1]
Abm Abm A
Old crows ride in the mouth of the beast
F# Abm
Sleep beneath it's tongue, cradled by it's teeth
Abm
We roam from shore to shore
A F#
From the open sky to the ocean floor
Abm Abm A F#
The more we move, the less we are ourselves
Abm Abm A F#
And when we finally stop, we change to something else
[Pre-Chorus]
Abm A F#
As rapid as, a river flows
Abm A F#
As frigid as, the cold wind can blow
Abm A F#
As devious as the devil's grin
Abm A F#
Our blood is cold as we shed our skin now
[Chorus]
Ab C# F#
We are are not the kids we used to be
B A

[Verse 2]
Abm Abm
The crows are calling, seems the end is near
A F#
They're spelling out our names yet we have no fear
Abm Abm
Oh the damage that a man can do
A F#
When ambition takes over his search for the truth
Abm Abm A F#
Sometimes, life just gets the best of us
Abm Abm A F#
Some things in life will get the best of us
[Chorus]
Ab C# F#
We are are not the kids we used to be

(Stop wishing for yesterday)

[Bridge]
Abm Abm
Every skyline beats in my chest
A F#
Somewhere between love and sadness
Abm Abm
This is our fate, this is our test
A F#
We ride in the mouth of madness
[Pre-Chorus]
Abm A F#
As rapid as, a river flows
