[Intro]
Em Dm Dm
[Verse 1]
Em
I see seaweed on the lawn
Em
There's no point coming here no more
Dm
Do you remember way back when?
F
When weeks sank in the swimming pool
F
Holidays were cotton wool
Dm
Your bald tyre friends, the pelicans, cowboys and indians
F
Admit it, she was kinda cute
Em
Her panties were your parachute
Dm
They found her near the airport, in a crater, near the bend
F
Where she and I'd walk by the zoo
Em
Not knowing we'd do what all plagues do
Dm
I forget her all the time these days and be forgotten too
[Pre Chorus]
F
We're lockstepping in our billions
F
Lockstepping in our swarms
Dm
Lockstepping in the certainty that more need to be born
F
I was fine but not the whole time, see
F
I fiddled while Rome stewed, and lord
Dm
It choked my heart, but spades are spades
Dm
My head's here now to tell you
F
We're lockstepping in our billions
F
Lockstepping in our swarms
Dm Am E Em
Lockstepping in the certainty that more need to be born
[Chorus]
D A Em
And ain't that just the way things are
D A Em
Yeah you always went too far
D C B Fmaj7
And ain't that just the way things go
[Verse 2]
F
Passports please, sir you are next
F
Do you fly direct or indirect?
Dm
As the years bleed off that answer's getting harder to detect
F
Like all the rare air on the cabin floor
F
Your in-flight film's a score that should be settled
Dm
Once the holster calcifies around your neck
F
But now it's prefab bars, tax free cigars
F
Stopovers in Bahrain
Dm
And they put horse tranqs in the fuel tanks and the staff are all insane
[Pre Chorus]
F
And we're lockstepping in our billions
F
Lockstepping in our swarms
Dm
Lockstepping in the certainty that more need to be born
Em
I'm like a Lockheed in a thunderhead
Em
An Airbus in the sea'
Dm
The sky is blue, I am too
Dm
Yet everything seems clear
F
And we're lockstepping in our billions
F
Lockstepping in our swarms
Dm Am E Em
Lockstepping in the certainty that more need to be born
[Chorus]
D A Em
But ain't that just the way things are
D A Em
Yeah you always went too far
D C F#m
But ain't that just the way things go
[Interlude]
F Bm C Bm Am Dm Em Fm Dm
[Verse 3]
Em
She'd recollect how fucked you were
Em
All matter of a fact
Dm
And then defend you, being squeamish about the knife stuck in her back
E
And lord, she only sang the dead Byrds' songs
E
And now I know 'em all
Dm
It's like I'm shooting at a shadow
Dm
That a bomb burned on the wall
[Pre Chorus]
F
And we're lockstepping in our billions
F
Lockstepping in our swarms
Dm
Lockstepping in the certainty that more need to be born
Fm
There ain't no making what you're breaking
Nothing left of her to clone
I can't remember how she looked although
A E Em
I do recall her smile coming down the telephone
[Chorus]
D A Em
But ain't that just the way things are
D A Em
Yeah you always went too far
D Am E
And ain't that just the way things go
D C F# F Bm C Bm Am
Yeah pretending you don't know
