Verse:

A augmentedA          FF       B minorBm       D MajorD
Boats ease into the harbor bearing real suspicious cargo
    A augmentedA        C# minorC#m     B minorBm         D MajorD
And the sunlight on the water sets a switch off in your brain
A augmentedA             FF        B minorBm     D MajorD
The things that you've got coming will consume you
    A augmentedA        C# minorC#m       B minorBm      D MajorD
There's someone waiting out there in an alley with a chain

A augmentedA FF  B minorBm D MajorD
A augmentedA C# minorC#m B minorBm D MajorD

  A augmentedA           FF      B minorBm         D MajorD
The ghosts that haunt your building are prepared to take on substance
    A augmentedA         C# minorC#m       B minorBm     D MajorD
And the dull pain that you live with isn't getting any duller
     A augmentedA       FF        B minorBm  D MajorD
There's a closet full of almost-pristine videotape
A augmentedA      C# minorC#m      B minorBm        D MajorD
Documenting sordid little scenes in living color

Chorus:

        A augmentedA  A7A7  D/F#D/F#
Here they come
     B minorBm    D MajorD
The young thousands
        A augmentedA  A7A7  D/F#D/F#
Here they come
     B minorBm    D MajorD
The young thousands

A augmentedA FF  B minorBm D MajorD

Verse:

  A augmentedA          FF        B minorBm        D MajorD
You drive east from the ocean with both hands tied on the wheel
    A augmentedA       C# minorC#m     B minorBm       D MajorD
And you go past Garden Grove as the pleasure index rises
  A augmentedA           FF       B minorBm          D MajorD
The things that you've got coming will do things that you're afraid to
     A augmentedA        C# minorC#m       B minorBm     D MajorD
There is someone waiting out there with a mouthful of surprises

A augmentedA FF  B minorBm D MajorD
A augmentedA C# minorC#m B minorBm D MajorD

  A augmentedA           FF         B minorBm       D MajorD
The ghosts that haunt your building have been learning how to breathe
   A augmentedA         C# minorC#m      B minorBm       D MajorD
They scan the hallways nightly vainly searching for a sign
   A augmentedA        FF       B minorBm           D MajorD
There must be diamonds somewhere in a place that stinks this bad
     A augmentedA           C# minorC#m   B minorBm       D MajorD
There are brighter things than diamonds coming down the line

Chorus:

        A augmentedA  A7A7  D/F#D/F#
Here they come
     B minorBm    D MajorD
The young thousands
        A augmentedA  A7A7  D/F#D/F#
Here they come
     B minorBm    D MajorD
The young thousands
