Am Em Am
Now take a look at what you see
Am Em Am
Do a little walking in your sleep
Dm A Dm
All around the garden shoots of green
Dm A Dm * Am
All around the world are human beings, they're crying out
Em Am
Living in a dream
Em Am Em Am
Some of them are nightmares, some of them sweet
Dm A Dm
Every now and then someone starts to sing
Dm
Every now and then but you're just standing there and
F G
Staring at some message on your omnipresent phone
Em
You're so goddamn materialistic,
Am
man you've got to let it go
Am Em Am
Now I don't know what you've been told
Am Em Am
Every little goldfish is not gold
Dm A Dm
Every little viper's not your friend
Dm A Dm * Am
And a million dollars is not how this story ends
Em Am
Doesn't mean a thing
Em Am Em Am
Catch it on the wind, throw it to the sea
Dm A Dm
There's a lot of old gods in the deep
Dm
Maybe you could see them if you weren't just standing
F G
Staring at some message on your omnipresent phone
Em
You're so goddamn materialistic,
Am
man you've got to let it go
(Instrumental)
Am Em Am
There's going to be a thunder in the hills
Am Em Am
There's going to be a red moon in the sky
Dm A Dm
People never do what they've been told
Dm A Dm * Am
You're going to have to hold your loved ones to you through the night
Em Am
Underneath the sky
Em Am
Turning out the lights
Em Am Dm
Everybody comes in by the fire
A Dm
Dance the night away
A Dm
She looks into your eyes and are you standing there just
F G
Staring at some message on your omnipresent phone
Em
You're so goddamn materialistic,
Am
man you've got to let it go
