[Verse 1]
D A
I hear it in your silence, when you don't speak.
A7 D
What was funny then, isn't funny anymore.
G D
I can hear it in your voice, there's always a catch.
A D A
Where going nowhere, and we are going there fast.
D A A7
Anything to watch while we are waiting for this Apocalypse
D
What more is there to do?
G D
It's nice to be important, but so close to being despised.
A D A
It's more important to be nice, I guess, than being wise.
The rest of the song's chorus' play like this.

So be be with anyone you want, it's alright with me.

A D A
Now I can hear loneliness screaming in my ear.
[Chorus 2]
D A7
Our time is over
