[A] One [D]
more [Em] new [E] writing, spread away over [A] [D] [Em] [Am] the [D] border,
[C] and I [E] want to
[C] hold [A] it, hold it, wait [G] a minute, wait a minute.
I can't erase [E] my writing, [G] my own [C]
writing, like [D] tiny [E] insects in the palm of [G]
history,
[Am] [E] domino effect [A] in the cloud of mystery, [Em] it's an iron fist, my [Am] own, in a glass bottle of
[C] delirium, [Dm] it's the fuse and it's the [A] sound, my own, like [C]
you can't rest, you [C] can't rest
[Em] [B] When a man is born, he is weak and weak, [Em] when he dies, he is strong and strong,
[G] but when a [E] tree is taken away, it [B] looks weak, but when [E] it is dry and hard, [B] it dies, [C] [G] dies.
[Am] [D] Causing [A] disaster, [D]
[G] we're [C] [E] running the [Em] night, [A] Winslow and Asia, it's all [E] in flight.
[A] Check it, hold it, [C] verify [A] it, wait a minute, [C] it's all [A] here [Em] in writing, my own writing.
[A]
Domino effect, early into history, it's an [Em] iron fist, [A] my writing, in a glass bottle of
delirium, [Em] it's the fuse, my writing, we came up with the test, we [A] came up with the test,
[C] we came up with the test.
I'm a man, [D] [Em]
I'm [E] a man, I'm a man,
[G]
[Em]
I'm a man, I'm a man, I'm
[Ab] a man.

At the hands of the, in the eyes of the, I fell [Em] from grace, [A] [Em]
I [A] was a visitor,
like a time, [Em] [A] in the palm of history, domino effect, [E] early into history,
it's an [G] iron fist, in a glass bottle of delirium, [Em] it's the fuse, my writing, we came up with [G] the test,
we came up with the test.
[A] What's the test, what's the test, what's the test.

NotesBeta

To learn Thomas Dolby - (2009 Remaster) Dissidents chords, these are the chords to practise in sequence: C, G, Em, C, G, E, Em, E and G. A good strategy is to initiate at 53 BPM and then accelerate to the track's regular speed of 106 BPM. With C Minor as the song's key, tweak the capo to cater to your vocal pitch and chord likes.
