C-G-F-Gm x2
 
C G
In this hole that we have fixed
F
We get further and further and further
Gm
From the world
C
We must do
 
C G
I saw you asleep beside a wall
F
Your skull inside a ball
 
Your eyes blackened by
Gm
The sound and the thought of God
 
C G
Where should I hang my head?
F Gm C
Where would you like for me to hang my he-ad?
 
C G
One absence of truth
F
And one horrible thing I saw
Gm
What you truly wanted to become
C
And who you thought I was
 
The fall, the fall
G
Afraid to love
F
What is deeper than the grave
Gm
Goes all the way down those tracks
C G
Everybody bow your head for the greatest inspiration
F
Complete contradiction
Gm
Away
 
C G
In this hole that we have fixed

We get further and further

From the world
C
We must do
G
I know this, I know this
F Gm
You know this, you know this

In this hole that we have fixed
F
We get further and further and further
Gm
From the world
C
We must do
 
C-G-F-Gm
 
C G
I saw you outside that wall
F
Your skull outside that wall
Gm
Your eyes perceived by the sound
C
And the light of God
