By order of reason and with reason to be
Face to face and nothing there to see
What were the reasons
Will I someday understand
Fate points out this new direction
Nothing left here to defend at all
Half of my ambition
Was to be a completed man
The loss of my [A]connection [C7]on [C7]this plain
Where I'll make my [A]stand
I knew my [A]proposition [C7]would be [Am]pointedly ignored
Well baby check this new position
As I'm walkin' out the door
Nothing lives here any more
That's for [Dm7]sure
Delusions of grandeur with delusions to [C7]spare
How the chains that bind us so quickly can vanish into [C7]thin air
And did I hear you [A7laughing at my [A]painful naïveté
What a sight this hopeful jackass
A hambone artist on [C7]the bray
Touché
Half of my [A]affection
Was so much more than you [A7deserved
Your lack of ɾecollection
At how your vanity was [Am7]served
But this new intuition
It's the key that will get me by
No more pointless competition
Cause I'm telling you [A7goodbye
Spirit soaring through the sky
No last tɾy
Half of my [A]ambition
Oh to [C7]be [Am]a completed man
The loss of my [A]connection [C7]on [C7]this plain
Now I'll take my [A]stand
I knew my [A]proposition [C7]would be [Am]pointedly ignored
Well baby check this new position
As I'm walkin' out the door
Nothing lives here any more
That's for [Dm7]sure
