Chords with lyrics
A minorAm
Love bird, you flew into my window
E MajorE
Now in the sticky love nest sits a widow
A minorAm
The tree it fell on all the people
E MajorE
Who gathered there to watch it topple
Am-E-Am-E
A minorAm
Now turn around, it's burning down
DmDm
The city we live in
C majorC
Should we mobilize?
C majorC
Take them by surprise?
FF E MajorE
Let them have their way with us?
A minorAm
Wounds be by old enemies
DmDm
Broke my heart to see
C majorC
Foundations ripped apart
C majorC
And investments fade away
FF E MajorE
I guess we got off to a bad start
C majorC
No oxygen
A minorAm
What is the outcome?
FF
Hungry humans
G+G
We've got to enslave them
C majorC
We'll burn those bridges
A minorAm
When we come to them
FF
I'm not just their leader
G+G
I'm also one of them
A minorAm
The food supply has been depleted
E MajorE
The river's run dry just when it was needed
A minorAm
The rats come out to take it over
E MajorE
Singing, squeaking, "We built this city"
A minorAm
It's hard to breathe
A minorAm
But we couldn't leave
DmDm
Nowhere left to go
C majorC
Almost everybody died
C majorC
Drank the tears from those who cried
FF E MajorE
We shriveled from the sodium
A minorAm
And a map was found with an X on it
DmDm
So we followed it there
C majorC
And what did we find
C majorC
An underground design
FF E MajorE
As we entered in to our surprise
C majorC
Oxygen
A minorAm
Rivers and playgrounds
FF
The ancients just stayed down
G+G
They never stopped moving
C majorC
We stumbled towards them
A minorAm
But they locked all the barn doors
FF
So we had to dig deeper
G+G
We had to dig deeper
A minorAm
And the deep was dark
E MajorE
I wanted to sleep forever
E MajorE
Wake up later, maybe never
A minorAm
We had to build a civilization
E MajorE
Let the planet focus on the planet's rotation
A minorAm
We tried, we tried
A minorAm
We really tried
DmDm
But no one could do it
C majorC
Not really alive
C majorC
Never learned how to survive
FF E MajorE
We were humans being useless
C majorC
No oxygen
A minorAm
What is the outcome?
FF
Hungry humans
G+G
We've got to enslave them
C majorC
We'll burn those bridges
A minorAm
When we come to them
FF
I'm not just their leader
G+G
I'm also one of them
A minorAm C majorC
We fade into oblivion
C majorC FF DmDm E MajorE
No traces of civilized living eating the earth
C majorC
We're fading to oblivion
C majorC FF DmDm E MajorE
No traces of civilized living eaten by earth
