Strum
D-DU-UDU
 White  were the walls that encased  my body
 White  were the hands that locked  me inside
 White  was the color of every  other stripe
Of  the flag that watched  over our dreams
 If labels  are limits,  then those sirens  are blaring
 Behind  us as  we fly on by
 Screaming, "Get  back here  you dirty  sons of bitches
Can't  you read  that fucking  sign?"
 White  were the sheets upon which  I slumbered
 White  were the lights that awoke  me
 White  was the noise that echoed  down the hallway
 And silently  rattled  through my brain
 If labels  are limits,  then we're crashing  right through  that
 Glass  ceiling  overhead
 And the janitors  keep the brooms  and dustpans  in the closet
 And smile  wide-eyed  towards the sky
 (strum all chords once in final verse)
 If labels  are limits,  then we're crashing  right through  that
 Glass  ceiling  overhead
 And the janitors  keep the brooms  and dustpans  in the closet
 And smile  wide-eyed  towards the sky
 Smile  wide-eyed  towards the sky

[C] [F] [C] [G] [C] [F] [Am] [G] [F]

Wh[C]ite were the walls that enc[F]ased my body
Wh[C]ite were the hands that loc[G]ked me inside
Wh[C]ite was the color of ev[F]ery other stripe
[Am]Of the flag that wat[G]ched over our dr[F]eams

If la[C]bels are li[G]mits, then those si[Am]rens are bl[F]aring
Behi[C]nd us a[G]s we fly on [Am]by
Screaming, "G[C]et back he[G]re you di[Am]rty sons of bi[F]tches
[C]Can't you re[G]ad that fuc[Am]king si[F]gn?"

W[C]hite were the sheets upon wh[F]ich I slumbered
W[C]hite were the lights that aw[G]oke me
W[C]hite was the noise that ech[F]oed down the hallway
And si[Am]lently rat[G]tled through my br[F]ain

If lab[C]els are lim[G]its, then we're cra[Am]shing right thro[F]ugh that
Gla[C]ss cei[G]ling over[Am]head
And the jan[C]itors keep the br[G]ooms and dus[Am]tpans in the c[F]loset
And sm[C]ile wide[G]-eyed towards the [Am]sky

(strum all chords once in final verse)
If l[C]abels are l[G]imits, then we're c[Am]rashing right th[F]rough that
Gla[C]ss cei[G]ling over[Am]head
And the jan[C]itors keep the br[G]ooms and dus[Am]tpans in the c[F]loset
And sm[C]ile wide[G]-eyed towards the [Am]sky
S[C]mile wide-[G]eyed towards the s[Am]ky
