Intro: G C9 Am7 D x2
G C9
Well some may say it's not even funny
Am7 D
And there you stand not even trying
G C9
They say it is in line with the ages
Am7 D
Sometimes noise is just your mind
C G D
But the lesson is vague in the light now
C G D
Shows a deer with her mind on the moor
G C9
And now something with the sun is just different
Am7 D G
Since they shook the earth in 1904
Repeat Intro
G (picked) C9 (picked)
And as I lowered down I hear it's a message
Am7 (slam! strum) D
And it's 1902 just telling people to get out
G C9
And if there was just a way I could tell them
Am7 D
It's been long but you are right
C G D
And the singing is slow and so quiet
C G D
Like the sound when you sweep up the floor
G C9
And now something with the dirt is just different
Am7 D G
Since they shook the earth in 1904
Bm C
And when the night is young but the bridge is up
G C
Something passing by, I was sure
Bm C
And the only one you can tell it to
G D
Well it's the only one that ever knows
Repeat Intro
G (picked) C9 (picked)
And since more robbers made to go through my window
Am7 (slam! strum) D7
Here is something so strange and something louder than before
G C9
And you're living with no light or direction
Am7 D
But damn precise and now you know
C G D
When believing is hard but you go now
C G D
And you feel what you drag across the floor
G C9
Because something with these drills are just different
Am7 D G
Since they shook the earth in 1904
Bm C
And when the night is young but the bridge is up
G C
Something passing by, I was sure
Bm C
And the only one you can tell it to
G D
Well it's the only one that ever knows
(all picked here on out)
G C9
And some will say it's not even healthy
Am7 D7
But body is young and mind is sure
G C9
That something is alright with your thinking
Am7 D G
Since they shook the earth in 1904
