[Am][C][F]

[Verse 1]
[Am]Stand and
move and walk across the wa[C]ter.
Peel the cover from the city.
Watch it's insides [G]twitch and smoke
and rotate [F]endlessly.
[Am]Sinking. Moving deep
beneath the water[C].
Lots of other worlds exist.
Soon [G]enough we'll tear [F]them open.
Soon enough we'll break them
[Am]too.

[Interlude 1]

[C][G][F]

[Verse 2]
[Am]Swimming. Watching concrete
eat the [C]ocean.
Metal fingers scrape the skies.
The windows look [G]like Christmas
lights from out [F]here.
Floating. Count[Am]ing clouds.
They're slowly fad[C]ing.
Blending in with cardboard skies.
Soon we'll [G]manufacture [F]replicas.
[G]It'[F]s all repla[Am]ceabl[Em]e.
[C]From

[Verse 3]
the sky,
the train tracks look like stitches.
Like [F]they're holding the world
together; like it'll blow any minute.
[C]And [Em]I've got another thought
I'll keep to myself.
Until [F]the skeletons walk free. Until the
make- up all comes off.
[C]There's nothing new to discover,
there's nothing new to invent.
[F]There's nothing new to think that
hasn't been thought of before.
And [C]there's nothing left [Em]to believe we
haven't [Am]already [Em]forgotten.[F]
There's nothing left, there's nothing new,
there's nothing'
[C]No, no, no, no, no.
And I've got another
dream I'll keep to myself.
Until the [F]tyrants are dead and the
patriots are swallowed whole.
And [Em]I've got a bottle I can
aim at the center,
Full of letters, as a kid,
I'd always meant to send.
[F]We'd speak our minds
and change the world.
We'd fix the past and pave the way.
[C]But now we're fresh out of
heroes; now we've run dry on hope.
[F]There are no saviors in
technology: just quick fixes.
And [C]holes, with[Em]in holes,
within holes, within you.
And a [F]place to hang my head,

[Outro 1]
and convince myself there is no difference.
