C 
The stemless clouds will smash 
        Em 
And the sea will splash 
       F 
With a murderous tone 
          C 
Freedom's chaotic growl 
       Em 
Will redeem and howl 
          F 
Through a sunken headstone 
        C 
You and I will shed our skin 
    Em 
And think if we win 
      F 
We'll have found a home 
 

 
   Dm      Em 
To fall to earth's 
Dm             Em 
Chain battered dirt 
    F             G 
And call out your name 
Dm          Em 
Where can I go 
Dm              G        C   (Bass Run) F E D C 
Nothing left to do but remain 
 

 
C 
When every softening breath 
     Em 
Will not confess 
         F 
What you wanted it to say 
         C 
And your paperboy lies 
    Em 
Are just a disguise 
           F 
That you deployed yesterday 
   C 
Oh motion's not yours 
       Em 
So you squeal when you fall 
        F 
When success has been taken away 
 

 
        Dm              Em 
Oh your sight will fade fast 
       Dm            Em 
Better take off your mask 
    F              G 
And please just complain 
Dm          Em 
Where can I go 
Dm              G        C   (Bass Run) F E D C 
Nothing left to do but remain 
 

 
C 
Sit back and unravel 
    Em 
The roads that you traveled 
        F 
To get away from yourself 
           C 
I wouldn't think it of mercy 
    Em 
To abandon and curse me 
         F 
Cause my breath stinks of wealth 
   C 
Go back to the gypsy 
    Em 
Who fooled you so swiftly 
       F 
Into believing yourself 
 

 
     Dm          Em 
Everybody's been laughing 
          Dm           Em 
Since the time of your hatching 
  F            G 
I hear them so plain 
Dm          Em 
Where can I go 
Dm              G        C   (Bass Run) F E D C 
Nothing left to do but remain 
 

 
C 
Oh your tattoo of destiny 
    Em 
And silver-sided memories 
         F 
And your scoreboard of lust 
         C 
And that barroom stool promise 
         Em 
And your loving lies in harnesses 
        F 
I think you call it trust 
   C 
Oh soon will come a time 
          Em 
When your soul is confined 
        F 
And all covered in dust 
 

 
       Dm             Em 
Oh the nights will be frightening 
      Dm           Em 
And a lash bolt of lightning 
     F                 G 
Will pound with strict rain 
Dm          Em 
Where can I go 
Dm              G        C   (Bass Run) F E D C 
Nothing left to do but remain 
 

 
C 
If all the golden streets 
         Em 
Start to crumble beneath your feet 
     F 
Just like quicksand 
        C 
And the desperados smile 
          Em 
While you skip like a child 
       F 
With a pen in your hand 
       C 
Oh the heavenly dangers 
       Em 
Pierce straight through your manger 
     F 
Sent down by God's command 
 

 
             Dm         Em 
Well there's no turning back 
            Dm          Em 
When you're tied to the track 
           F             G 
I see that fast lonesome train 
Dm          Em 
Where can I go 
Dm              G        C   (Bass Run) F E D C 
Nothing left to do but remain
