Empty Causes

C              G                Am
Everywhere you looked there was confusion, violence,
Em        F G
drama and drugs
C                 G               Am
So many righteous revolutionaries spouting
Em      F
utopian love

E                          Am
Everyone shrouded in purple haze
         E                                 Am
Then one day they woke up from their dream state
           G#                               D#
They found themselves no more at peace then before
                   G
Older, meek and conformed

C G   Am    Em
Empty causes
  F                       G
A bluster for the soul, a fix for the mind
C G   Am    Em
Empty causes
F             G         C   G
Cling to everything you find

C                             G               Am
Well, the shots rang out like popcorn and the chief was hit
    Em            F  G
and rushed out of sight
C                   G                 Am              Em
The mohawk-chained, leather brigade rejoiced maliciously
        F
on that night

E                                 Am
Someone cried out "Fuck the government"
E                                 Am
His mates couldn't define what he meant
      G#                       D#
So no one gave him the time of day
                   G
And the scene died away

C G   Am    Em
Empty causes
  F                    G
A war for the body, an army in the mind
C G   Am    Em
Empty causes
F               G           C
Losing steam as time goes by

F*               G*        C*     B*   Am*
Could it be that everybody selfishly desires
G#                 D#  A#
Their own personal retinue?
         F*         G*            C*       B*       Am*
And that causes are just manifestations of too much time,
G#                   D#  G
And far too little to do? Let's go!

Direction for the soul, conviction for the mind

Empty causes
F              G
Cling to it all, everything you find
C G   Am    Em
Empty causes

A war for the body and an army in the mind
