Chords with lyrics

Tuning: Standard (E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE)

Verse 1:
E minorEm
The roll of distant thunder breaks, the afternoon of silence wakes
E minorEm
They hurry through from Petergate as if they know this dance
E minorEm
In fury blind, I drive at night across the moors, the open roads
E minorEm
Beneath the freezing starry skies, racing in some trance
C majorC                 G#G#
These cities are illusions of some triumph over Nature's laws
A minorAm                  BB
We've seen the iron carcass rust and buildings topple into dust
C majorC                  G#G#
And as the waters rise, it seems we cling to all the rootless things
A minorAm                  BB
The Christian lies, technology, while spirits scream and sing

Chorus:
     E minorEm        A minorAm
Oh God I love the world, I love the world
 G+G         C majorC
I love the world, I love the world
 E minorEm        A minorAm
I love the world, I love the world
 G+G         C majorC
I love the world, I love the world
 E minorEm        A minorAm
I love the world, I love the world
 G+G         C majorC
I love the world, I love the world
 E minorEm        A minorAm
I love the world, I love the world
 G+G         C majorC
I love the world, I love the world

Verse 2:
E minorEm
Well I never said I was a clever man but I know enough to understand
E minorEm
That the endless leaps and forward plans will someday have to cease
E minorEm
You blind yourselves with comfort lies like lightning never strikes you twice
E minorEm
And we laugh at your amazed surprise as the Ark begins to sink
C majorC                  G#G#
This temple that is built so well to separate us from ourselves
   A minorAm              BB
Is a power grown beyond control, a will without a face
  C majorC                 G#G#
And watching from outside I wish that I could wash my hands of this
  A minorAm                BB
But we are locked together here, this bittersweet embrace

Chorus:
     E minorEm        A minorAm
Oh God I love the world, I love the world
 G+G         C majorC
I love the world, I love the world
 E minorEm        A minorAm
I love the world, I love the world
 G+G         C majorC
I love the world, I love the world
 E minorEm        A minorAm
I love the world, I love the world
 G+G         C majorC
I love the world, I love the world
 E minorEm        A minorAm
I love the world, I love the world
 G+G         C majorC
I love the world, I love the world

Verse 3:
E minorEm              C majorC
And if one day the final fire explodes across the whitened sky
Em6Em6                   C/EC/E
I know you've said you'd rather die and make it over fast
E minorEm                   C majorC
With courage from your bravest friends, waiting outside for the end
    Em6Em6               C/EC/E
With no bitterness but an innocence that I can't seem to grasp
 C majorC                 G#G#
I know somehow I will survive - this fury just to stay alive
  A minorAm                     BB
So drunk with sickness, weak with pain, I can walk the hills one last time
C majorC                   G#G#
Scarred and smiling, dying slow, I'll scream to no one left at all
 A minorAm              BB
I told you so, I told you so, I told you so .

I love the world, I love the world

I told you so
