(Intro)  

Em


(Verse)

         Em                       Am
Bring me birds with broken wings, Men with all the answers,
B                              Em
People who have killed,Give me incurable cancers.
          Em                             Am
Bring me creatures baked in oil, Give me disregard for doubt,
B                                         Em
Street lights shine on broken Roads where no one is about.
             Em                        Am
I want that hopeless dream depression, Punishments without a cause,
         B                      Em
Give me impotent obsession, And disregard for laws.
           Em                               Am 
I want the trees in single file, Bring the corpse of something rare,
        B                                 Em
Show me children who are sinners, Show me mounds of human hair.


(Chorus)

Am                               Em
I climbed up the mountain just to kill my son,
Am                           Em
An angel tried to stop me with a ram,
             Am                                 Em
Well he said “your mind’s infected”, But I said “you lack perspective”,
B
You gotta walk the bottom if you wanna see the top,


Em                 Am           B              Em
La da da da, La da da da, La da da da da da da da da da  
Em                 Am           B              Em
La da da da, La da da da, La da da da da da da da da da  



(Verse)

        Em                    Am
Give me poison I can swim in, Water I can’t drink,
 B                                        Em
Wheels that won’t stop spinning, Teach my children not to think.
            Em                                     Am
I want the fruit that tastes like nothing, And two thumbs for every crook,
         B                                Em
Give me lessons without questions, Mild the days the books.
       Em                    Am
Give me metaphors unraveled, Poetry defined,
            B                             Em
Bring me the head of Dionysius, But please don’t spill out the wine.
         Em                                Am
Trade the future for the present, Trade me ashes for my history,
        B                              Em
I don’t need to look inside,I know the answer to the mystery.

(Chorus)

Am                               Em
I climbed up the mountain just to kill my son,
Am                           Em
An angel tried to stop me with a ram,
             Am                                 Em
Well he said “your mind’s infected”, But I said “you lack perspective”,
B
You gotta walk the bottom if you wanna see the top,


Em                 Am           B              Em
La da da da, La da da da, La da da da da da da da da da  
Em                 Am           B              Em
La da da da, La da da da, La da da da da da da da da da  


(Bridge)

C                      Em
Oh I know they call me crazy,
C                      Em
But there will be no turning back,
Am                     Em
I don’t care if things get ugly.
B
Once the word of god is spoken,
B
There’s no way to take it back,

You gotta walk the bottom if you wanna see the top,
