The Key

• C

Intro: C Am F C 

       C          
We're taught to tell the truth 

But yet we're taught to force a smile 
     Am 
They lead us down a road 

But they can only see a mile 
       F 
We only see what they want us to see 
        C 
We only see what they want us to see 

     C  
They line us up in uniforms  

And tell us not to feel 
        Am 
They've never been to heaven 

But they tell us that it's real 
          F 
They only see what they wanna see 
          C 
They only see what they wanna see 

              F 
We watch them pray 
              G 
Down on their knees 
       Em                                      Am 
'Cause that's the way that they were taught to be 
              F        G 
And thanks to them, we can be free 
           F        G (hold) 
Thanks to them... 

            F    G    Am 
We have the key--------- 
          F       G      Am 
You'll be you and I'll be me 
            F    G    Am 
We have the key--------- 
          F       G      Am 
You'll be you and I'll be me 

     C       
They say that they're not puppets  

Then we point them to the strings 
   Am 
Convinced they'll stay together 

By the paper and the ring 
               F 
But they can't see what we want them to see 
                C 
They just can't see what we want them to see 

   C   
So tell me all your secrets  

and I'll tell you all my fears 
       Am 
'Cause if we knock these walls down  
    Am (hold) 
We might know why we're here 

              F 
We watch them pray 
              G 
Down on their knees 
       Em                                      Am 
'Cause that's the way that they were taught to be 
              F        G 
And thanks to them, we can be free 
           F        G (hold) 
Thanks to them... 

            F    G    Am 
We have the key--------- 
          F       G      Am 
You'll be you and I'll be me 
            F    G    Am 
We have the key--------- 
          F       G      Am 
You'll be you and I'll be me 

              F 
We watch them pray 
              G 
Down on their knees 
       Em                                      Am 
'Cause that's the way that they were taught to be 
              F        G 
They just can't see 

            F    G    Am 
We have the key--------- 
          F       G      Am 
You'll be you and I'll be me 
            F    G    Am 
We have the key--------- 
          F       G      Am 
You'll be you and I'll be me
