[Verse]
Gm F Eb x2
 
Gm          F        Cm
Down at the end of a bombed-out street
D                 Gm
   The shell of a house where my-
F             Bb      Eb
Friends and me used to meet
D           Cm
Someday the old flesh will
Bb      F      Eb
give way to the new
D                  Gm
Find a functioning mirror inside and
Bb    D    Eb
slip right through
 
 
[Chorus]
    Bb     F              Eb
And there,   there I will be
    Bb      F              Eb
And who,     who's coming with me?
Bb                F        Cm7
    To show me my one true face
Bb           F          Eb
    When I arrive at my preordained place 
 
Gm F Eb x2
 
 
[Verse 2]
Gm                         F        Cm
   Chain of command may be 10 years long
D              Gm
   I emerge in Manhattan
F     Bb        Eb
Still young and strong
D             Cm
  Someday the hellhound will
Bm             F            Eb
   pick up the scent on the trail
D                Gm
   Zero in on my penthouse and then
Bb     D     Eb
pierce   the veil
 
 
[Chorus]
    Bb     F              Eb
And there,   there I will be
    Bb      F              Eb
And who,     who's coming with me?
Bb                F        Cm7
    To show me my one true face
Bb           F          Eb
    When I arrive at my preordained place
 
Db C Bb
 
[Bridge]
             Ab     Gb   F
Hopeless but free
Bb              Cm7               Fmaj7
  Lit up like a marquee over the freeway
    Cm7                   Gm   Ab
Where does the long trail end? Her
             Eb  F
Here with my new friend
 
[Verse 3]
Gm              F     Cm
  Fruits of the spirit    heavy on the vine
D          Gm
   Undying hunger
F      Bb          Eb
       deep in the bloodline
D                       Cm
  Dodge the hook like a steel head
Bb         F           Eb
Swim right through the night
D                       Gm
  Break the surface and rise like a geyser
Bb      D       Eb
When my time is right
 
[Chorus]
    Bb     F               Eb
And there,    there I will be
    Bb     F                    Eb
And who,      who's coming with me?
Bb               F        Cm7
   To show me my one true face
Bb          F          Eb
   When I arrive at my preordained place
 
Bb F Eb x2
 
[Outro]
Bb F          Eb
     When I arrive, yeah
Bb F          Eb
     When I arrive
Bb F          Eb
     When I arrive
