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. 

       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. 


      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.
