Humans chords by Islands

Am
Love bird, you flew into my window
    E
Now in the sticky love nest sits a widow
Am
The tree it fell on all the people
    E
Who gathered there to watch it topple

Am-E-Am-E

Am
Now turn around, it's burning down
    Dm
The city we live in
C

Should we mobilize?
C
Take them by surprise?
F                   E
Let them have their way with us?

Am
Wounds be by old enemies
Dm
Broke my heart to see
C
Foundations ripped apart
C
And investments fade away
F                       E
I guess we got off to a bad start

C
No oxygen
            Am
What is the outcome?
       F
Hungry humans
             G
We've got to enslave them

C
We'll burn those bridges
        Am
When we come to them
                   F
I'm not just their leader
         G
I'm also one of them

Am
The food supply has been depleted
    E
The river's run dry just when it was needed
    Am
The rats come out to take it over
E
Singing, squeaking, "We built this city"

Am
It's hard to breathe
Am
But we couldn't leave
Dm
Nowhere left to go
C
Almost everybody died
C
Drank the tears from those who cried
   F                  E
We shriveled from the sodium

Am
And a map was found with an X on it
   Dm
So we followed it there
    C
And what did we find
C
An underground design
      F             E
As we entered in to our surprise

C
Oxygen
           Am
Rivers and playgrounds
                  F
The ancients just stayed down
                   G
They never stopped moving

C
We stumbled towards them
                        Am
But they locked all the barn doors
                 F
So we had to dig deeper
              G
We had to dig deeper

Am
And the deep was dark
                  E
I wanted to sleep forever
E
Wake up later, maybe never
   Am
We had to build a civilization
        E
Let the planet focus on the planet's rotation

Am
We tried, we tried
Am
We really tried
Dm
But no one could do it
C
Not really alive
C
Never learned how to survive
        F            E
We were humans being useless

C
No oxygen
            Am
What is the outcome?
       F
Hungry humans
             G
We've got to enslave them

C
We'll burn those bridges
        Am
When we come to them
                   F
I'm not just their leader
         G
I'm also one of them

Am        C
We fade into oblivion
C            F         Dm                E
No traces of civilized living eating the earth
C
We're fading to oblivion
             C         F      Dm       E
No traces of civilized living eaten by earth
