Verse 1:
       Bm             G           D          A
By the heating of the sun, by the sound of a gun
Bm               G F#m A
I've been undone
   Bm        G              D               A
By being overheard with the wrong choice of word
Bm               G F#m A  Bm G D A
I've been undone
          Bm          G F#m A
Yes, I've been undone

Verse 2:
       Bm       G         D              A
By the emptiest hole as I searched for a soul
     Bm          G F#m A
I've been undone
       Bm          G           D            A
By the weakness of pain when I desired to remain
     Bm          G F#m A
I've been undone
       Bm          G            D            A
By the clues in my case, by the look on your face
     Bm          G F#m A
I've been undone
       Bm           G        D            A
By the sense of too much, by compassion untouched
     Bm          G F#m A
I've been undone


Chorus:
Em                 C                 Bm      G D A
  Like a wire on a spool I keep on unrolling
Em         D                      C
  A single thread that seems to unwind and unwind
           Bm       G D A
Unravel my clothing

Verse 3:
           Bm             G            D          A
By all the forms that you get from the Mandelbrot set
     Bm          G F#m A
I've been undone
         Bm      G             D           A
By the recursive slaves in the home of the brave
     Bm          G F#m A
I've been undone
         Bm        G              D          A
Though I want to observe it keeps touching a nerve
         Bm          G F#m A
And I've been undone
       Bm            G           D         A
By the past that you trace, by a moment of grace
       Bm          G F#m A
I have been undone


Refrain:
      Bm        G    D      A
And I need more information
  Bm                  G        F#m A
I need to know what's going on
      Bm        G    D      A
And I need this information now
Bm     G        F#m  A              Bm    G D A  Bm G F#m A
  So I don't go wrong, go wrong, go wrong


Chorus:
Em                C                   G
  But how can you smile when it's all gone?
Em            C                 G
  How can you wait? No one will come
Em             C                       G
  Believing in something that doesn't exist
Em           C              Bm   G D
  Letting it go, listen and feel
     A          Bm   G F#m A
Just listen and feel


Verse 4:
     Bm            G        D                A
By a squeak from a chair, a complete lack of air
     Bm         G F#m    A
I've been undone, been undone
     Bm          G         D           A
By a slip of the ice, by a roll of the dice
     Bm          G F#m A
I've been undone
       Bm      G          D        A
By the Nazarene with it's Turing Machine
     Bm          G F#m A
I've been undone
       Bm            G            D              A
By the mitochondrial cell, by the ringing of the funeral bell
Bm            G    F#m A
I have been undone


Refrain:
      Bm        G    D      A
And I need more information
  Bm                  G        F#m A
I need to know what's going on
      Bm        G           D   A
And I need this information now
           Bm          G              F#m A
So I don't go wrong, I don't go wrong

Bridge:
       Bm    A                            G
And it starts with the spider on the wall
   F#m        G        Bm
He slides the spheres apart
    A                 G
And opens up the door
F#m   A           Bm
Opens up the heart
        A
Oh, the memories showing
G                   F#m    G
Spinning out on the screen
Bm          A
  Until the quasar shatters
G
At this human plane
       Em                Bm
And it climbs out on the wing


Chorus:
Em                C                   G
  But how can you smile when it's all gone?
Em            C                     G
  How can you wait when no one will come?
Em             C                           G
  Believing in something that can never be real
Em            C                   Bm   G D
  Time to let go, just listen and feel
     A          Bm   G F#m A
Just listen and feel


Outro:
Bm G D
      A          Bm  G F#m
And I feel it in you
    A          Bm G D
You feel it in me
  A          Bm  G F#m
I feel it in you
    A          Bm G D
You feel it in me
  A          Bm  G F#m
I feel it in you
        A          Bm G D
Oh, you feel it in me
  A          Bm  G D
I feel it in you
  A             N.C.
I feel it in you
