C

[Verse 1]
C              G    Am                F
  Eagle in the dark,  feathers in the pages
C               G    Am                   F
  Monkeys in my heart  are rattling their cages
C                G    Am                 F
  Found a way to blue,  another ghost to follow
C                        G   Am                         F
  Said: "it's only up to you,  it's the hardest pill to swallow"
C     G    Am    F
  Hmmmmmmmmmmmm
C                  G      Am                      F
  You never get to choose,  you live on what they sent you
C                            G   Am                     F
  And you know they're gonna use,  the things you love against you
C                 G     Am                F
  One foot in the grave,  one foot in the shower
C                       G    Am                     F
  There's never time to save,  you're paying by the hour

[Chorus]
C            G               Am   F         C
  And that's just the way it goes, falling awake
             G               Am   F
  And that's just the way it goes

[Interlude]
C G Am F  (x2)

[Verse 2]
C                      G    Am             F
  Slipping through the bars,  aware of the danger
C                  G    Am                  F
  Of riding in the cars,  taking candy from strangers
C                         G    Am             F
  And you're never out of hand,  never out of pocket
C                G   Am                   F
  I'm supersonic man,  do you wanna buy a rocket?

[Chorus]
C            G               Am   F         C
  Oh, that's just the way it goes, falling awake
G          Am F
  Falling awake
C            G               Am F           C
  And that's just the way it goes, falling awake
           G    Am F
  Falling awake

[Verse 3]
C              G    Am                F
  Eagle in the dark,  feathers in the pages
C               G    Am                   F
  Monkeys in my heart  are rattling their cages
C                           G    Am                         F
  I could learn to play the game,  I could learn to run the hustle
C                   G      Am                 F
  If I only had the brains,  the money or the muscle
