Lovely song. There may be better alternatives to some of the chords, but for the most
this sounds right.
C Em Dm Am
I'm sick, you're tired, let's dance,
C Em Dm Am
Break to love make lust I know, it isn't.
C Em Dm Am
I'm sick, you're tired, let's dance, dance, dance...
C Em Dm Am
Cold as numbers, but let's dance.

As though it were easy, for you to leave me.
F Am Dm G
I could be passive, gracefully.
E Am F E
Half the horizon's gone- skyline of numbers.
E Am F E Dm
Half the horizon's gone- working the numbers 'til I'm sick...
C Em Dm Am
Sleep don't pacify us, until...
C Em Dm Am
Day break sky lights up the the grid we live in.
C Em D F#
Dizzy when we talk so fast!
C Em Dm Am
Fields of numbers streaming past.
C Em Dm Am Em
I wish we were farmers, I wish we knew how to...
C Em Dm
Grow sweet potatoes, and milk cows.
C Em Dm Em
I wish we were lovers, but it's for the best...

Tonight, your ghost will ask my ghost- 'Where is the love?'
