[D] So [A] she [Bm] woke up, woke up [G] from where she [Bm] was, lying still.
[D] Said I've [E] [A] gotta [D] do something [G] about where we're going.
[D] Step on a steam train, [G] step out of the driving rain,
maybe [D] run from the darkness in [G] the night.
[Bm] Singing [A] a la la [G] la la dee dee, [A] [F#m] a la [G] la la dee dee, a la [D] la dee dee.
[A] [D] [A] [D]
Sweet machine, bitter the [G] taste in my mouth.
[D] I see seven towers, but I [G] only see one way out.
You've gotta [D] cry without weeping, talk without speaking,
[G] scream without raising your voice.
You know I took [D] the poison from the poison stream that I [G] floated out of here.
Singing [A] a la la [G] la la dee dee, [F#m] [F] a la [G] la la dee dee, a la [D] la dee dee.

[Dm] [D] She blows through the streets, [Bm]
like a pale ray,
under [G] the black valley of clouds and [D] rain.
Into the doorway, she brings me [Bm] white golden pearls.
So close, she's [D] reaching, she's reaching.
And so for the softening lies, she will [A] suffer the [G] needle chill.
[A] She's [F#m] running [G] to stop [D] still.
