Cease

												
B         A         G       F#
Flat top pave-ment com-fort me
         B             A             G             F#
Like a chemical reaction or a steamroller, spreading randomly
           B       A          G    F#
There=D5s a distant fuzz of a frequency
     B         A             G         F#
It tickles my ears, rustles under my feet
         B          A            G      F#
And it shakes the leaves off of every tree
G    A    F#
Vio-lent-ly
          B      A           G
What protection everlasting peace (??)
      A          B
Everything must cease
(same chords as before)
In-sti-tu-tion on the hill
Like a beacon in the mind of an ancestor to remind the people=D5s will (??)
There=D5s a shadow stain on the west facade
It is spread like a cave to entrap the pod (???)
And the decent folks find it oh so odd
Oh so odd
What protection everlasting peace
Everything must cease
(pluck 6th string only - this part is slow)
B        A        G            F#
Brave me-mo-rials hewn white stone
           B             A            G          F#
Like the comforting caress of a mother or a friend you've always known
(strum from here - resumes normal Bad Religion tempo)
     B          A           G   F#
It evokes such pain and significance
B                A           G     F#
What was once is reduced to remembrance
         B            A           G     F#
And the generations pass without recompense
G   A   F#
Aa-aaaa-hhh...
         B        A           G
What protection everlasting peace
       A          B
Everything must cease

The way this sounds best is if you play it in E (power chords).
Then the Intro is: EED CCB. the basic chord pattern is E D C B
(Black top pavement...) When it goes "Shakes the leaves off of..."
C D B, and "Violently" is C B A. "Everything must cease" is
E D C ... D E. If that's a little hard to understand, listen
to the album.
