Amaj9 B G#
Why'd you cut holes in the face of the moon base?
Emaj9 Amaj9
Don't you know about the temperature change
B G#
In the cold black shadow?
Emaj9 C#m
Are you mad at your walls
Emaj9
Or hoping that
Amaj9 B G#
an unknown force can repair things for you?
Emaj9 Amaj9 B G#
Pardon all the time that you've thrown into your pale grey garden?
Emaj9 C#m
If the ship will never come
Emaj9 Amaj9
you've got to move along
Amaj9
Chorus:
C#m B G# Emaj9 C#m
Even a bird would want a taste of dirt from abyssal dark
C#m B G# Emaj9 C#m
The prick of a feather could make a kingdom burn and the bloodshed start
Emaj9 C#m
The falling apart
C#m B G#
Made me a shadow in the shape of wonder
Emaj9 C#m
The waves of black
C#m B G# Emaj9 C#m
If she's going under I can hold my breath till the sky comes back
Emaj9 Amaj9 B5
Or drown like a rat, rat, rat
Amaj9 B
He's a rat!

Bridge:
G#
To catch a monster
A
We make a movie
C#m6
Set the tempo
B7 Amaj9 B5
And cut and cut its brains out
C#5 F#5 A5
It will inspire on the burning pyre
G#
Half the distance
A
Half the motion
C#m6 *
Communication
B7 Amaj9 F#m G#
It's easy as the ocean
A F#m G#

I found these (weird and beautiful) chords by watching both their live on KCRW
(https://youtu.be/Cmv3onS0Lk4?t=51) and the one at Les Eurockéennes (https://youtu.be/lGR7sXd4tBo?t=95). Last updated:
