G          D            C          Em
There’s a darkness upon me that’s flooded in light
       G               D              C                Em
In the fine print they tell me what’s wrong and what’s right
       G        D            C        Em
And it comes in black and it comes in white
        Em            D               C
And I’m frightened by those who don’t see it


     G          D       C           Em
When nothing is owed or deserved or expected
         G            D             C          Em
And your life doesn’t change by the man that’s elected
          G        D               C     Em
If you’re loved by someone, you’re never rejected
   Em          D         C
Decide what to be and go be it


*Build up on C to go into the Chorus*


[Chorus]

C           G             C           G
There was a dream and one day I could see it
       C         G            D         C          D        G
Like a bird in a cage I broke in and demanded that somebody free it
    C           G          C            G
And there was a kid with a head full of doubt
        C             G           D             C                D          
So I’ll scream ’til I die and the last of those bad thoughts are finally out

[Verse]

          G        D               C          Em
There’s a darkness upon you that’s flooded in light
       G               D               C                Em
In the fine print they tell you what’s wrong and what’s right
       G        D          C        Em
And it flies by day and it flies by night
        Em            D               C
And I’m frightened by those who don’t see it


[Chorus]

C           G             C           G
There was a dream and one day I could see it

Like a bird in a cage I broke in and demanded that somebody free it
    C           G          C            G
And there was a kid with a head full of doubt
        C             G           D             C                D        G
So I’ll scream ’til I die and the last of those bad thoughts are finally out
