Eliza Gilkyson - 2153


INTRO: C majorC FF C majorC  G+G C majorC

               FF        C majorC
Well, their brains were quite large for their bodies
                       G+G
And it lulled them into thinking they weren't dumb
     C majorC       FF        C majorC
They did guns, extreme sports, special hobbies
              G+G      C majorC
And cool tricks with their fingers and thumbs

     A minorAm          G+G      C majorC
And they thought they would be guaranteed delivered
    A minorAm      D MajorD       G+G
To some guy in Roman sandals and a beard
    C majorC        FF        C majorC
So they bought and they fought and they twittered
   G+G       C majorC
By 2153 they'd disappeared


CHORUS:
     FF            C majorC
Oh, they waited for their god in vain
      FF            C majorC  G+G
Yeah, they waited for their god in vain
    C majorC    FF      C majorC   FF
In the last big play of the final game
   G+G            C majorC   G+G  C majorC
They waited for their god in vain


            FF      C majorC
Well, they went for the literal translation
                     G+G
Of every text and symbol, sacred work and screed
    C majorC      FF     C majorC
They obsessed over minor variations
             G+G       C majorC
Misconstrued the truth to justify their deeds


     A minorAm          G+G       C majorC
And they thought that all the others were afflicted
       A minorAm       D MajorD         G+G
And those who knew the secret handshake would be saved
     C majorC       FF         C majorC
And they thought in the end they'd all be lifted
             G+G       C majorC
Now they're lying in the beds that they made

CHORUS:
     FF            C majorC
Ah, they waited for their god in vain
      FF            C majorC  G+G
Yeah, they waited for their god in vain
C majorC          FF        C majorC         FF
Standing with their luggage, waiting for the transport plane
   G+G            C majorC
They waited for their god in vain


INSTRUMENTAL: C majorC FF C majorC  G+G  C majorC FF C majorC  G+G C majorC
       A minorAm G+G C majorC  A minorAm D MajorD G+G  C majorC FF C majorC  G+G C majorC


CHORUS:
     FF            C majorC
Ah, they waited for their god in vain
      FF            C majorC  G+G
Yeah, they waited for their god in vain
     C majorC          FF       C majorC        FF
When they called out for their god, each one used a different name
   G+G            C majorC
They waited for their god in vain
           FF         C majorC        FF
This is all we can conclude, from what's left of their remains
   G+G            C majorC   C-G-C
They waited for their god in vain
