            D/C   (A)|Dm/G  Em/G |Fad9(A) G(B)

    |A               Bm7         |
  We soared like the sparrow hawk
  |D             A(E)       |D5      D/C  |D5
   Flied then we drop like a stone
                       |D5       D/C |D5
  Like the tide and the waves
                   |Dm(G)  Em(G)|Fadd9(G)  G 
  Growing slowly in range
          |A            Bm7       |D             A(E)      |D     D/C|D
  Crushing mountains as old as the earth, so the music must change    change
  
  |D A/D |D A/D |D A/D|D    |
  
  S-sometimes at night I wake up and my body's like ice
  The sound of the running wild stallion, the noise of the m-mice
  And I wondered if then I could hear into all of your dreams
  I realize now it was really the sound of your screams
  
  But death always leads into life
  Like the street-fighter swallows the knife
  Am I so crazy to feel that it's here pre-arranged?
  The music must change
  It gets higher and higher
  Smolderin' like leaves in the sun
  Then it bursts into fire
  Its rhythm grows strong
  It's so new and so strange
  Like bells in the clouds, then again the music must change
  
  |D       |
   Change
  
  |D     G/D A/D |D     G/D A/D|D     G/D A/D|D     G/D A/D| 
  
  |D                     G    A    A6/D|
     But is this song so different?
  |D               G    A     A6/D|
     Am I doing it all again?
  |D                  G      A    A6/D|
     It may have been done A6/D
     |D               G    A    |
  But then music's an open door
  
  ||:D     G  A A6/D:||
  
  [repeat intro]
  
  Deep in the back of my mind is an unrealized sound
  Every feeling I get from the street says it soon could be found
  When I hear the cold lies of the pusher I know it exists
  It's confirmed in the eyes of the kids emphasized with their fists
  
  But the high has to rise from the low
  Like volcanoes explode through the snow
  The mosquito's sting brings a dream but the poisons derange
  The music must change
  For we're chewing a bone
  We soar like the sparrow hawk fly, then we dropped like a stone
  Like the tide and the waves growing slowly in range
  Crushing mountains as old as the earth, the music must change
