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

 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).
