[Intro]
C#5 - E5 - D#5 A5 - C#5 - B5
C#m F#m G#m E
I think I know what you mean but watch what you say
C#m F#m G#m E
'cause they'll be trying to knock you down in some way
C#m F#m G#m E
Sometimes it feels like the world is falling asleep
C#m F#m G#m E
How do you wake someone up from inside a dream?
C#m F#m G#m E
Your mind would wander and search for its place in the night
C#m F#m G#m E
Your body followed this feeling like following light
C#m F#m G#m E
Once that your music was born it followed you 'round
C#m F#m G#m E
And then it gave your activities, meaning and let you be loud
F#m G#m
You're sad but you smile
A E
It not in your eyes
F#m G#m
Your eyeballs won't change
A Open E
It's the muscles around your eyes
Open E in Chorus
G#m E
An egg to fertilize
G#m E
A pulse to stabilize
G#m E
A body to deodorize
G#m E
A life to scrutinize
G#m E
A child to criticize
G#m E
Young adults to modernize
G#m E
Citizens to terrorize
G#m E
Generations to desensiti
[Solo] C#m - F#m - B - E I think 3 times
C#m F#m G#m E
You're dreams are sweet and obsessed and your overworked
C#m F#m G#m E
You're overtaken by visions of being overlooked
C#m F#m
How disappointed would D.(ead) I.(dealistic)
G#m E
D.(esperate)I.(nventor)P(ioneer)P.(hilosophers)Be
C#m F#m G#m E
to see such power in our hands all wasted on greed
C#m
Am I a prisoner to instincts?
F#m
Or do my thoughts just live
G#m
As free and detached
E
As boats to the dock?
C#m F#m G#m E
Just like when music was born and detached from your heart
C#m F#m G#m E
Is your free time to free minds or for falling apart?
F#m G#m
Night after night
A E
You turn out the light
F#m G#m A
You don't fall asleep right away
Open E
"Are we... are we done?"
G#m E
A desk to organize
G#m E
A product to advertise
G#m E
A market to monopolize
G#m E
Movie stars you idolize
G#m E
Leaders to scandalize
G#m E
Enemies to neutralize
G#m E
No time to apologize
G#m E
Fury to tranquilize
G#m E
Weapons to synchronize
G#m E
Cities to vapor-i
There Ya go. Great song by a great band and hope ya enjoy it.
