Intro - A minorAm

A minorAm
In silence we shall sit
E MajorE
Contemplating everything

The world and how we came to be
         A minorAm
Alone aboard the ark

The same thoughts every night
E MajorE
Bathed in cold fluorescent light

If this is it then what a ride,
          A minorAm
Wake me when it's through.


  DmDm            E MajorE
To have it all and seize the day.
  A minorAm            DmDm
To go where no one else dare stray
 E MajorE     A minorAm
Forever shall we wait


  A minorAm
In light of developments
E MajorE
I suggest we start again

The 9 to 5 the 6 to 10 have
        A minorAm
Swallowed ever urge

And it makes no difference
E MajorE
When all your money goes on rent

The never ending arguments
         A minorAm
To be put off and on

  DmDm           E MajorE
To have a place to call our own
  A minorAm           DmDm
To shun the old familiar road
 E MajorE     A minorAm
Forever shall we wait


        A minorAm
These arms are heavy
        E MajorE
These feet are raw

I cannot walk
      A minorAm
But I can crawl
     DmDm        E MajorE
Into the arms of another Monster
A augmentedA    D MajorD     G+G   C majorC   E MajorE A minorAm
Lurking somewhere deep inside


  A minorAm
My mind set on the blink
E MajorE
A augmentedA missive from the kitchen sink

Regret the days you didn't glimpse
         A minorAm
A augmentedA spark amid the mire

Invading every scene
E MajorE
Welcome to the working week

A augmentedA place to hide until we leave
           A minorAm
To dream perchance to sleep


  DmDm           E MajorE
To grease the corridors of youth
 A minorAm            DmDm
I let them tell me what to do.
 E MajorE       A minorAm
I won't do that again.


        A minorAm
These arms are heavy
        E MajorE
These feet are raw

I cannot walk
     A minorAm
But I can crawl
     DmDm       E MajorE
Into the arms of another monster
A augmentedA    D MajorD     G+G    C majorC  E MajorE
Lurking somewhere deep inside
    A minorAm Am7Am7 D9D9 E MajorE
Deep inside,
    A minorAm Am7Am7 D9D9 E MajorE
Deep inside,
    A minorAm Am7Am7 D9D9 *E F7F7 E*  A minorAm E MajorE A minorAm E MajorE A minorAm
Deep Inside.   *Strum Fast*
