Verse 1 (SONG TIME: 00:00):
-light, steady rhythm-
D MajorD
They're shining searchlights in the sky,
D7D7 F# minorF#m
'Cause there's a new God in the sign...
G+G
It says their map is not their terrier work,

And then I broke my telescope...
G+G A augmentedA
But that's the nature of the game,
D MajorD
And you have to play...
Verse 2 (SONG TIME: 00:28):
-heavier sound-
D MajorD G+G D MajorD
Bring back the pain of a god that's never blue,
G+G FF C majorC D MajorD
You're in control of the whole damned universe!

Bring back the shame and the bright lights on a few,
G minorGm D MajorD
It keeps me coming back to you!
Verse 3 (SONG TIME: 00:53):
-voice distortion-
D MajorD
The deaths were faked, the laughs were cries,
D7D7 F# minorF#m
The resurrections are doing fine,

You got me walking into suicide...
G minorGm D MajorD
And I'll be there right by your side,

In reproduction at your merry go

We reached for an outside point of view

But its out of touch with me and you

But you'll be right there by my side
G+G A augmentedA D MajorD
To beam my message into space as I die
Final Verse (SONG TIME: 5:24):

Bring back the shame of a man who follows through,

Get on your knees and I'll be coming back to you!

G+G A augmentedA D MajorD
It keeps me coming back to you...
