Illuminate

D  Dm  C  Cm
D     Dm   C      Cm
Blue, red, green, yellow
D     Dm   C      Cm    D
Blue, red, green, yellow

  G                       D/F#
I saw you stand above the crowd
                     Em
False prophet with a gun
                    D
You dove into their arms
 G                 D/F#
Illuminated by the stars
                  Em
The crowd became a gun
                    D
They welded to your sorrow
            C
Speaking in tongues
                  Bm     E  D  A  E  D  A  E  D  A  Cmaj7
The music rattled on and on

  G                              D/F#
A church, not built of brick and mortar
                 Em
I made a cold confession
                   D
The velvet curtain closes
G                D/F#
 Creeping like a nun
              Em
A narcoleptic shaman
                    D
Jim Jones in his bandana
                C
Handing out the cups
                   Bm
To all the wayward sons
                     E  D  A  E  D  A  E  D  A  E  D  A
And all the faithful daughters

E              D       A
Every time you led the way
E                 D      A
Shaking hands and taking names
E               D      A
Looking for someone to blame (It's my time)
E               D        A
Flush the money down the drain (It's my time)
E              D      A
Whistleblowers on the run (It's my time)
E                 D        A
Future's here and now it's gone (It's my time)
E               D      A
All the stories never spoken (It's my time)
E                  D      A  E
And the winds keep blowing

D     Dm   C      Cm
Blue, red, green, yellow
D     Dm   C      Cm    D
Blue, red, green, yellow

    G                       D/F#
And when he stared into the mirror
              Em
He only saw a shadow
               D
Void of all description
    G                            D/F#
His eyes, rolled back into their sockets
             Em
Losing all direction
                   D
Weighed down by an anchor
              C
Longing to be lifted
              Bm            E  D  A  E  D  A  E  D  A  E  D  A
Longing to be held in their arms

E         D       A
Everybody works today
E           D       A
Everybody's getting paid
E           D      A
Everybody's on the take
E                D   A
You gotta pay to play (It's my time)
E              D      A
Gonna drink my fill tonight (It's my time)
E             D       A
Drink until I see the light (It's my time)
E             D      A
Take a bullet to the brain (It's my time)
E               D        A
Flush the money down the drain (It's my time)
E              D       A
Every time you led the way (It's my time)
E                 D      A
Shaking hands and taking names (It's my time)
E               D      A
Looking for someone to blame (It's my time)
E               D        A
Flush the money down the drain (It's my time)
E              D       A
Whistleblowers on the run (It's my time)
E                 D        A
Future's here and now it's gone (It's my time)
E               D      A
All the stories never spoken (It's my time)
E                  D      A
And the winds keep blowing

E  D  A
