Verse 1:
G+G
Used to be the stars were too far away
G+G
Used to be the world didn't have much to say
E minorEm           A minorAm       G+G
Coming in close and talking at the same time
G+G
Small mistake, terrible crime

Chorus 1:
D MajorD                      C majorC
Using up the air, trying to set yourself on fire
D MajorD                    C majorC
Everybody there pushing into one thin wire
                G+G
But it's better than solid state

Verse 2:
G+G
Never look small, but don't get too large
G+G
You gotta let go, you won't stay in charge
E minorEm           A minorAm       G+G
Everything's fine, but nothing's really okay
G+G
It's all messed up, it's better that way

Chorus 2:
D MajorD                    C majorC
Everyone you know, crooked little numbers game
D MajorD                    C majorC
Where you gonna go? Everywhere it's all the same
                G+G
But it's better than solid state

Bridge:
E minorEm   C majorC   G+G   D MajorD
Watch them rise and fall (one after another)
A minorAm   C majorC   G+G
Don't forget to follow through
E minorEm   C majorC   G+G   D MajorD
You learn after all (take care of each other)
A minorAm                       C majorC       G+G
Who it hurts and how it ends, how far it goes, it all depends on you

Verse 3:
G+G
Used to be the world was too far away
G+G
Used to be the stars didn't have much to say
E minorEm           A minorAm       G+G
All this time, and everybody's still sad
G+G
We still got whatever we had

Chorus 3:
D MajorD                    C majorC
Every grain of sand rubbing up against your skin
D MajorD                    C majorC
Everything you planned, sinking as the tide comes in
            G+G
