Motherless Land

	  		
verse 1 
        C                      Em 
We were riding out to meet the Sun 
        D                            C 
We were shaking from the things we'd done 
        C                      Em 
We were breaking every pattern straying from the map 
   D 
To make a new life on the run 

        C                     Em 
We were sick of life behind a lens 
        D                         C 
With it stripped of all its innocence 
          C                       Em 
Watch the hands above the puppets make another war 
        D                    D 
For the benefit of their own ends

Motherless land 
         Gmaj 
A couple pills in my hand 
           Gmaj 
To take me out of my mind

Motherless land 
          G 
A couple pills in my hand 
           G 
To take me out of my mind 
G 
A couple we stand 
         G 
A couple pills in our hands 
           G 
To take us out of our minds 


verse 2 
      C                      Em 
So we grew up with a fear of God 
         D                      C 
Made guilty of the things we're not 
        C                       Em 
We were lost in vicious circles looking for a key 
D                    D 
Another door, another lock 

       C                      Em 
As the Sun was dancing on the lake 
          D                     C 
There was only so much we could take 
      C                      Em 
So we left it all to happen, left it all to chance 
D                                  D 
With a passion that they could not shake

Oh, take me out of my mind

Oh, take me out of my mind 
        Em 
Take me out of my mind

Take me out of my mind 
G 
Out of my mind, yeah

verse 3 
        C              Em 
We've assassinated pacifists 
      D                        C 
As if peace was something to resist 
         C                 Em 
With the history repeating one day to the next 
D                       D 
Another thousand on the list 

   C                       Em 
So what are we without the fear? 
    D                       C 
And what are we without the shame? 
    C                       Em 
And what are we when all is clear? 
D                     D 
What are we without a name?
