Cease

B A G F# Flat top pave-ment com-fort me B A G F# Like a chemical reaction or a steamroller, spreading randomly B A G F# There=D5s a distant fuzz of a frequency B A G F# It tickles my ears, rustles under my feet B A G F# And it shakes the leaves off of every tree G A F# Vio-lent-ly B A G What protection everlasting peace (??) A B Everything must cease (same chords as before) In-sti-tu-tion on the hill Like a beacon in the mind of an ancestor to remind the people=D5s will (??) There=D5s a shadow stain on the west facade It is spread like a cave to entrap the pod (???) And the decent folks find it oh so odd Oh so odd What protection everlasting peace Everything must cease (pluck 6th string only -- this part is slow) B A G F# Brave me-mo-rials hewn white stone B A G F# Like the comforting caress of a mother or a friend you've always known (strum from here -- resumes normal Bad Religion tempo) B A G F# It evokes such pain and significance B A G F# What was once is reduced to remembrance B A G F# And the generations pass without recompense G A F# Aa-aaaa-hhh... B A G What protection everlasting peace A B Everything must cease
