[Intro 1]
[Em]

[Verse 1]
[Em]There's nothing much hanging from
the tree in the Garden of [C]Eden
It takes [Em]a long long time for the fruit
to ripen on [B]the vine[Bm][G]
We [Em]better get together or we'll end
up on the roof with [A]a shotgun
Because [G]a chance, we only [B]got one

[Verse 2]
It's [Em]never very smart to try and strip
the bark from an [C]old tree
We've [Em]been digging up the dirt since
the rocks of the earth were still [Bm]warm
Now old [Em]king coal is dying,
he was [A]never gonna last the long run
You [G]know a chance, we only [B]got one

[Verse 3]
At the time of writ[C]ing,
we were in our head[G]s
At the time of writ[C]ing,
we were good as [A]dead
At the time of [Em]writing
At the time of writ[C]ing,
we were fast [G]asleep
At the time of writ[C]ing,
we were in too [A]deep
At the time of [Em]writing
[G]

[Verse 4]
[Em]Wait a little while,
your eyes will realign into the [C]darkness
There's an [Em]ice-melt below below us,
bamboo curtains [B]above[Bm]
[D]Our [Em]ocean moat protects us,
our [A]friends will surely [Am]come
You know [G]a chance, we only [B]got one

[Verse 5]
At the time of writ[C]ing,
we were in our head[G]s
At the time of writ[C]ing,
we were good as [Am]dead
At [A]the time of [Em]writing
At the time of writ[C]ing,
we were fast [G]asleep
At the time of writ[C]ing, we were in too [A]deep
At the time of writ[Em]ing
[G]

[Verse 6]
[Em]They make no apologies for this,
make no apologies for anything
They make no apologies for [B]this,
make no apo[Em]logies for [D]everything
[G]We are not respons[C]ible for [D]this,
we're not responsible for [Em]everything
[G]We are not responsible for [D]this,
we're not responsible [C]for everything

[Verse 7]
[C]
At the time of writing,
we were in our head[G]s
At the time of writ[C]ing,
we were good as [Am]dead
At the time of [Em]writi[G]ng
At [Em]the time of writ[C]ing,
we were fast [G]asleep
At the time of writ[C]ing,
we were in too [Am]deep
At the time [A]of [Em]writing
At the time of writ[C]ing, we were on the [G]brink
At the time of [C]writing,
still had [Am]time [A]to think
At the time, at [Em]the time,
at the time, (time of writing)
At the time, at the time, at the time
Right now
