Intro: Em7 Am Am G Fmaj7 Em / D Don't believe what you hear, don't believe what you see Am G Fmaj7 Em / D If you just close your eyes you can feel the enemy When I first met you girl, you had fire in your soul What happened your face of melting snow? C Now it looks like this Am7 and you can swallow or you can spit F G You can throw it up or choke on it And you can dream, so dream out loud F G Am7 You know that your time is coming 'round F G Am Don't let the bastards grind you down No nothing makes sense, nothing seems to fit I know you'd hit out if you only knew who to hit And I'd join the movement if there was one I could believe in Yeah I'd break bread and wine if there was a church I could receive in 'Cos I need it now To take the cup, to fill it up To drink it slow, I can't let you go And I must be an Acrobat to talk like this and act like that And you can dream, so dream out loud ... Don't let the bastards grind you down What are we going to do now it's all been said? No new ideas in the house, and every book has been read And I must be an acrobat To talk like this and act like that And you can dream, so dream out loud And you can find your own way out You can build and I can will And you can call I can't wait until You can stash and you can seize In dreams begin responsibilities And I can love, and I can love I know that the tide is turning 'round ...Don't let the bastards grind you down
