[Verso 1]
G#m F#
Ive been out wandring in foggy country
E D#
Out where strange things exist
G#m F#
The edge of magic, the edge of science
E F# G#m
Meet and merge in the mist
G#m F#
And Ive come back with a book full of songs
E D#
A handful of tactics for righting old wrongs
G#m F# E
And all you can say is Ive been gone too long
G#m F# G#m
You dont know me at all
[Verso 2]
G#m F#
Ive been out wandring in hidden country
E D#
Out where your rejects reside
G#m F#
Where dreams are solid, where words are fire
E F# G#m
Out where the free-thinkers hide.
G#m F#
And all you tell me is you dont care
E D#
You cant put a meter on sunlight or air
G#m F# E
Youve got no use for the new world out there
G#m F# G#m
You dont know us at all
[Verso 3]
G#m F#
Guess Ill go back there with all Ill get here,
E D#
All that will help us go on
G#m F#
That countrys growing with every outcast
E F# G#m
You never notice were gone
G#m F#
And when youve won all those games that youve played
E D#
You just might see theres no one left to pay
G#m F# E
Well have the whole world that you threw away
G#m F# G#m F#
And we wont know you at all, at all
G#m F# G#m
We wont know you at all
