VERSE 1

Melon-rising California sun
A minorAm      G+G       D/F#D/F#  D MajorD
Drifting in a day not yet begun
A minorAm       G+G       D/F#D/F#  D MajorD

Floating in a Technicolor scene

Something nearly peaceful in the sound
FF              E minorEm
Rising from the San Andreas ground
Eb MajorEb              Bb majorBb
Overground, it starts to feel strange
Eb MajorEb              DmDm
Underground, it starts to rearrange

And run for a doorway
A minorAm

Nonbelieving, everybody waits
A minorAm       G+G      D/F#D/F#  D MajorD
Shifting on the continental plates
A minorAm      G+G       D/F#D/F#  D MajorD
Thunder far below the ocean floor
A minorAm        G+G        D/F#D/F#  D MajorD
Damned impartial sub-terrestrial war

BRIDGE
FF              E minorEm
Wond'ring if you're going to survive
FF                   E minorEm
God, it feels like eight point four or five
Eb MajorEb              Bb majorBb
Fifteen seconds holding your breath
Eb MajorEb              DmDm
Living through a microscopic death
