[Intro]
A
C#m A C#m A D E D E

[Verse 1]
C#m                        A
When they find you in the back bay
C#m                     A
Bits and pieces by the back bay
  D                      E
No one asks, "Is this a war?"
   D                         E 
You lace your boots & go to war

[Verse 2]
C#m                     A
Set the shot, I put my gun away
C#m                    A
Do the work, I throw my gun away
   D              E
Don't question anymore
  F#m            E
Not burdened anymore

[Verse 3]
   D                   A          E
I weigh the world on a sliding scale, and I
 D                  A           E
Wouldn't worry if "heads" or "tails" decides
   D                     A        E 
We're all strapped to the spinning wheel
 C#m
And there's a blindfolded man in a tux throwing knives

[Chorus]
A       D    E
There's no why
A       F#m    E
There's no why
A       D    E
There's no why
A    F#m    E
There's no why

[Interlude]
C#m A C#m A D E D E

[Verse 4]
C#m                  A
In the pulpit, in the alleyway
C#m                    A
In the bear pit out at Heaven's Gate
     D                     E
It's not a culture, it's a cult
   F#                 E
Not a circle, it's a hole

[Verse 5]
D                    A         E
I used to think it'd all come back again
D                    A          E          D    
Less a question of "if" than "where" and "when"
D               A    E
Life, looping & infinite
C#m
I was protecting myself
C#m
Once it's finished, it's finished

[Chorus]
A       D    E
There's no why
A       F#m    E
There's no why
A       D    E
There's no why
A    F#m    E
There's no why

[Bridge]
Bm       
Iron & ink
       D
Oil & oxygen
  Bm           
The trick of the trick:
                   D    A   E
We are who we've always been

[Interlude]
D  A  E 

[Chorus/Outro]

There's no why
A    F#m    E
There's no why

A    F#m    E
There's no why
