[Verse]
G Em6-9/C G Em6-9/C G
This one's for the idle unfounded, for the honest man free of the plain.
Em6-9/C A7sus4 Em A C Dadd9 G
Conception to grave, from pharaoh to slave, we all take part in the game.
G Em6-9/C G Em6-9/C G
It's old, as it's sacred and lauded, by the fairest who champion its case.
Em6-9/C A7sus4 Em A C Dadd9 G
Can keep your feet grounded, leave others astounded, absolve when you fall from grace.
[Chorus]
Em6-9/C G Em6-9/C A7sus4
Every insult you cried, every time it's replied, every compliment you won't stand fine.
Em6-9/C A7sus4 Em A C Dadd9 G
We may think that we're free, in every degree, but we're just in a chain by design.
[Verse 2]
G Em6-9/C G Em6-9/C G
If the mind is able to reason, then surely I'm the one in control.
Em6-9/C A7sus4 Em A C Dadd9 G
But at em' oh at em' keep passing the baton, uncertainty taking its toll.
G Em6-9/C G Em6-9/C G
And I wish that I'd done something different, maybe I'm determined to rue.
Em6-9/C A7sus4 Em A C Dadd9 G
But this lit cigarette, means I still regret, I'm just predetermined to.
[Chorus]
Em6-9/C G Em6-9/C A7sus4
Every aspect of life, through elation and strife, this mortal coil's oddly divine.
Em6-9/C A7sus4 Em A C Dadd9 G
We may think that we're free, in every degree, but we're just in a chain by design.
Em6-9/C G Em6-9/C A7sus4
Every footstep I place, every dream that I chase, can somewhere be chased down the line.
Em6-9/C A7sus4 Em A C Dadd9 G
You can influence me, but you'll always be, a product of things preassigned.
Em6-9/C A7sus4 Em A C Dadd9 G
We may think that we're free, in every degree, but we're just in a chain by design.
C Dadd9 G
We're just in a chain by design.
