I Am The Ride

Am Forms are loosely fitting E7 Jury still are sitting E7 Am Sense of duty keeps us all in motion Am Prison sirens wailing E7 That security is failing E7 Am Do not inspire a lifetime of devotion C G No one will sympathize D Dm No one really tries Dm E7 They need a faith that leads them like a drum Am E7 Am And I can hear it pounding down among the ruins C E7 Am Sad to say, I don't think I'm the only one Am I awoke and someone spoke E7 They asked me in a whisper E7 Am If all my dreams and visions had been answered Am And I don't know what to say E7 I never even pray E7 Am I just feel the pulse of universal dancers C G They'll waltz me till I die D Dm They'll never tell me why Dm E7 I never stop to ask them where we're going Am E7 Yes, but the holy, the profane Am Are all helplessly insane C E7 Am Wishful, hopeful, never even knowing Am And they asked if I believe E7 And do the angels really grieve E7 Am Or is it all a comforting invention? Am It's just like gravity, I said E7 It's not a product of my head E7 Am It doesn't speak, but nonetheless commands attention C G And I don't care what it means D Dm Or who decorates the scenes Dm E7 The problem is more with my sense of pride Am E7 Because it keeps me thinking "me" Am Instead of what it is to be C E7 Am I'm not a passenger, I am the ride C E7 I'm not a passenger E7 Am7 I am the ride
