D Bm
D Bm
D A
pale white moon shines down on colorado
Em
hide my dirty secrets
G
down here in the shadows
D
where the quaking aspens
A
tremble in the snow
Em
haul me up the hillside
G
hold me high and let me go
C D
let me fall down through my own roof like a meteorite
Em G
let the world and all its wonders leave me to my toys tonight
D G
and my ninty-six inch television screen
D
let me die.
A G D
let me die surrounded by machines.
D Bm
D Bm
D Bm
D Bm
D A
high winds knocked the power out last night
Em
but I've got my own supply here
G
all my windows blaze with light
D
and the light spills through the windows
A
to the empty plain below
Em
finds nothing but some trees
G
and six fresh feet of snow
C D
and I find a broadcast station that's signed off for the night
Em G
and the static floods the speakers in glorious black and white
D G
on my ninty-six inch television screen
D
let me die.
A G D
let me die surrounded by machines.
