Verse 1
         G		Bm
Now the radio stutters snaps to life
Em	    D		  C
Some sour song that sets it right
	   G	  C
And when London falls
       G       C
He'd like to call
	   G		Bm
But the stars collide
     Em	       D	  C
They're beautiful and much maligned
      G	       C      G	 C
In a universe where you see the worst
	D
And it's up to you to fix it

Chorus
	C	      G
Now you've worked it out
	 D
And you see it all
	C	      G
Now you've worked it out
	 D
And you see it all
	C          G
And you want to shout
	      D
How you see it all  (riff)

Verse 2
      G				Bm
It's easy to dismiss the  what's it all about  crowd
Em	      D	            C
There is no doubt it's this, here, now
         G	    C
And you close your eyes
      G       C
He's not coming back
             G		    Bm
So you've worked it out, overfeed the cat
          Em	   D             C
And the plants are dry and they need to drink

  G	       C	     G	       C
So you do your best and you flood the sink
       D
Sit down in the kitchen and cry

Chorus
	  C	      G
Now you've worked it out
	 D
And you see it all
	  C	      G
Now you've worked it out
	 D
And you see it all
	C          G
And you want to shout
	 D
How you see it all  (riff)

Verse 3
        G	             Bm
Now the universe left you for a runner lap
Em	        D		    C
It feels like home when it comes crushing back
        G	   C
And it makes you laugh
        G	  C
And it makes you cry
       G
When London falls
            Bm
And you are still alive
  Em	     D
The radio stutters
     C
It makes you laugh
	G	C
And the aftermath
	G	C
Open up your eyes
	D
You are so alive

Chorus
	  C	      G
Now you've worked it out
	D
And you see it all
	  C	      G
Now you've worked it out
	D
And you see it all
        C          G
And you want to shout
	 D
