Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Coming over mountains

 they pale beside the wall between us now.

 Since I refuse to play along.

 It's always been another

 to do the damage you live every-day,

 and leave you cursing for escape.

Chorus

 Each day I see a ball and chain

 grow a little more ingrained,

 and watch you corner pain

 sayin' nothin', nothing's gonna change.

Why is the world so damn unkind

to one so righteous in her mind?

The sun won't rise and shine.

Will you never.. find your peace of mind?

My father couldn't bother

to play the kind of role a child required.

instead of trying he retired.

With so much yet to conquer

to feel alone while so-called friends don't phone.

You know the pain is not their own.

Chorus

 ] - - - - ..

Coming over mountains

to feel the tension hiding in these walls.

You see all trace of spirit fall.

My father couldn't bother

and now he's back to find his place again.

Sorry, but the book's been burned.

Chorus

 ] - - - - ..

Your peace of mind... Your peace of mind... [end]
