E MajorE           F#F#
Wheel that steers us into our future
A augmentedA    F#F#     FdimFdim
We only fall asleep willingly
E MajorE            F#F#
The wheel that steers us into our future
A augmentedA         F#F#
And minds unpack, muscles relax
E MajorE          F#F#
We are superfluous, and in a stupor
A augmentedA     F#F#    FdimFdim
We only fall asleep willingly
E MajorE            F#F#
The wheel that steers us into our future
C# minorC#m
Into our future, into our future
C# minorC#m
The wheel that steers us into our future

Refrain:
C#m7C#m7     D#m7D#m7
It's helping me seek to retreat
E7E7       F#6F#6
Yet we decline without mercy
C#m7C#m7       D#m7D#m7
Destroying all that would keep us
E7E7      F#6F#6
Heading for a better thesis

 - In live versions they start strumming the chords really hard and loud, but keeping a C#C# in the bass on the
  6th string
