VERSE 1
Em
There’s no sense, the fire burns
     C
When wisdom fails it changes all
   D                                
The wheel embodies all that keeps on 
Am      G
turning

Em
Blood red skies, It feels so cold
   C
No innocence, we play our role
   D                               
The wheel embodies all where are we 
Am     G
going


PRE-CHORUS
C                                      
All in all you’d expect the wise to be 
Em
wiser, fallen from grace
    C
And all and all I guess
                     D       B
We should have known better, ’cause...


CHORUS
           Em            C
What about us? Isn’t it enough?
         D          Am
No we’re not in paradise
               Em                   C
This is who we are, this is what we got
         D           Bm
No, it's not our paradise
         C
But it’s all we want,
        Em                       D     
And it's all that we’re fighting for
Bm
                 C D  Em
Though it’s not pa-aradise

VERSE 2
Em
You and us, or I and them
      C
There comes a time to take a stand
   D                                  
The wheel is watching all, it keeps on 
Am       G
burning

    Em
The venom works, it’s like a curse
  C
A Trojan horse, when will we learn?
   D                              
The wheel embodies all, that keeps 
 Am        G
returning


PRE-CHORUS
C                                      
All in all you’d expect the wise to be

wiser, fallen from grace
    C
And all and all I guess
                     D       B
We should have known better, ’cause...

No, it's not our paradise
         C
