Verse:
D           Bm      Bm/A       D
  Someone’s messing with the machines
             Bm       Bm/A   D
They’ve been left out in the rain
          Bm              Bm/A G           Em
Well it’s strange to come back free of any rust
C                D
  Dares you to explain
          Em                  C                D
Could you speak a little more   clearly on the line

Verse:
          Bm    Bm/A             D
Cold wind keeps blowing from the east
       Bm                Bm/A        D
Trans-Atlantic crossings coming to a freeze
        Bm               Bm/A   G
I’m in exile with a sign that   reads
       Em       C                 D
No one can tell     which side of street
        Em             C             D
Would I stand a little closer to the line

Chorus:

Oh oh oh,  Mmm Mmm   Mmm

Verse:
           Bm         Bm/A    G     G
No one can tell which side to claim
          Em                  C             D
Could you speak a little more clearly once again
Em             C              D
Speak a little clearly on the line

Bridge:
A                G        D
  Indian summer, cold war skies
A                   G          D
Nervous drummers on overbooked flights
         Bm          A               G            D
Well the chaos grows stronger on the superstition flyway
Em               C               D
Looks like we’re   spinning up tonight
          Em            C             D
Could you step a little closer to the line

Verse:
          G         D            G            D
Splitting heart and mind, broken circuit by design
           G              D                      G
Well the demand for arms    is goin’ through the roof
    Em                                   D
The scientists are forced to work in the maze
           Em              G                 D
While they tap tap tap tap    tapping on the line
          Em             G                D
Could you speak a little clearly one more time
          Em              G                D
While you tap tap tap tap   tapping on the line
