C  Dm

Verse 1:

A#                                                 Dm
Raise high monolithic statues, so fragile as they fall
Dm
I am ever enthralled
A#                                                         Dm
Gaze, lie and smirk in time, your arrogance will suit you well
Dm
'Til fashion is dispelled

   A#      C        Dm                C
As waves of plastic fame go out of fashion
     A#           C        Dm            C
You're going out, going out, forever unknown
   A#      C        Dm                C
These waves of plastic fame go out of fashion
     A#           C        Dm            C
You're going out, going out forever unknown, unknown
Dm     F   A#        Gm        Dm
From above, a rain of ashes descends
     C        A#
Like anathema, I will remain, forever will remain
Dm     F   A#        Gm
From below, in my seclusion
     Dm       C        A#
Look up to the sky to see paper wings and watch them burn

Verse 2:

A#                                           Dm
Without habitation, you'll never find a soul inside
Dm
No life, but nothing's died
A#
No lights, but quite the show
A#                             Dm
Just as long as no one ever knows
Dm
All motion is pantomime

   A#      C        Dm                C
As waves of plastic fame go out of fashion
     A#           C        Dm            C
You're going out, going out, forever unknown
   A#      C        Dm                C
These waves of plastic fame go out of fashion
     A#           C        Dm            C
You're going out, going out forever unknown, unknown

Dm     F   A#        Gm        Dm

     C        A#
Like anathema, I will remain, forever will remain
Dm     F   A#        Gm
From below, in my seclusion
     Dm       C        A#
Look up to the sky to see paper wings and watch them burn

Dm Am

(Tried my best to get the rhythm right here, but it's a little complicated.
Alternatively you can play
Dm
   constantly if this isn't intuitive.)

Dm                   Am
Dancing in the rain of descending ash
        Dm                          Am        Dm
Dancing on your grave, I'll see you all falling
Dm                   Am
Dancing in the rain of descending ash
        Dm                          Am        Dm
Dancing on your grave, I'll see you all falling

 G           G                                 G
(  major and   minor both sound good here, but   major sounds slightly better to me personally.)

A#           F         G   D   Dsus   D
I'd stop it, had you a heart (your heart)
A#           F         G   D   Dsus   Asus
I'd stop it, had you a heart (your heart)
