                   (off Ghost in the Machine)

NOTE: Use a fretless if you've got one - it really helps the bass tone 
      during the chorus.

 Intro: Eb Cm9 

Verse 1:    
Eb Cm9 
I don't wanna spend the rest of my life 
Eb Cm9 
Looking at the barrel of an Armalite 
Eb Cm9 
I don't wanna spend the rest of my days 
Eb Cm9 
keeping out of trouble like the soldiers say 
 
Verse 2:
Eb Cm9 
I dont wanna spend my time in hell 
Eb Cm9 
looking at the walls of a prison cell 
Eb Cm9 
I don't ever wanna play the part 
Bb9 A9 Ab9 
of a statistic on a Government Chart 

Chorus:
G 
There has to be an invisible sun, 
It gives it's heat to every one 
There has to be an invisible sun 
It gives us hope when the day's done 
 
Verse 3:  
It's dark all day and it glows all night 
Factory smoke and acetylene light 
I face the day with my head caved in 
Looking like something that the cat brought in 
 
Chorus 
 
Instrumental: D Bm9 repeat 
 
Verse 4: 
And they're only gonna change this place 
By killing everybody in the human race 
And they would kill me for a cigarette 
But I don't even wanna die just yet.
