Intro: E
A
Do you feel left behind?
E
Like there's something not right?
B A
I don't think I've been connected
C E D
But of all the dead volcanos on Earth you just happened to retch
And roll, Through mine
A E
There were fistfuls of hair round the foot of my chair
B A
And echoes of screams before me
C E
But breathing out I swear you were real
D
You were there
A
You were there
E
You were there
B A
For a while
B C#m A G#m F#m
But I don't know what's real and what's going on
B C#m A G#m F#m
And I don't wanna be here when the sky is gone
(I just can't keep up with it, I)
B C#m A G#m F#m
I don't wanna think about it all, I'm tired
(Nothing's good, there's something more)
B C#m A G#m F#m
I don't wanna think about it all, I'm tired
A
It was somewhere to wink
E
It was slipped in my drink
B A
A necropolis for the taking
C E D
But all the cities fall into war and there's nothing but knives
and fears and forks
A E
Seems the more I find out, the more I'm sure of it girl
B A C E
And baby I get the feeling, there's somewhere darkened over it
D
And it's here (I feel it coming, one, one step from nothin')
A
And it's here (I feel it coming, one, one step from nothin')
E B A
And it's here for a while (I feel it coming, one, one step from nothin')
(I-I, I-I)
B C#m A G#m F#m
But I don't know what's real and what's going on
B C#m A G#m F#m
And I don't wanna be here when the sky is gone
(I just can't keep up with it, I)
B C#m A G#m F#m
I don't wanna think about it all, I'm tired
(Nothing's good, there's something more)
B C#m A G#m F#m
I don't wanna think about it all, I'm tired
(Keep the same chords going here)
But I can hear them plunderin' the streets at night
You never shoulda told them what you had inside
And I don't want my children in an endless race
And I don't wanna wait to see what else they take
(So far I'm in love with you, I'm)
And all that matters now is that we don't let go
(And I can tell they're watching for it)
And you can be my wonder in my town of woe
(Time to let the genie out)
If it's gonna happen let it happen now
If it's gonna happen let it happen now!
Outro: B C#m A G#m F#m
