[G]
[Em] Touched [C] the [G] mirror, broke the surface of the [Em] water
Saw my [C] true [G] self, all illusions shattered
Money's [Am] only paper, [G] only him
We'll destroy [C] ourselves [G] if we can't agree
How the world turns, who made the sun, who owns the sea
The world [C] we know, [G] fall piece by piece
[Em] [C] [G]
[Em] [C] [G]
[Em] Sat down [C] up close [G] to the colored black hole
Like they'd always told me not to
Saw the one [C] dimension, [G] polka dot, that's a fire
And all the illusions shattered
Money's [C] only paper, [G] only him
We'll
[Em] destroy ourselves if we [G] can't agree
[Em] How the world [C] turns, who made [G] the sun, who owns the sea
The world we know, fall piece by piece
[Em] [G]
[Em] [C] [G]
[Em] [G] Fitting [C] myself [G] wholly, heart and body
[Em] unadorned
Stripped [C] down [G] solely, to the evil and the [Em] good
Felt [C] no shame, [G] naked to the world, and all illusions shattered
[C] Money's [G]
[Em] [C] only paper, [G] only him
We'll [Em] destroy [C] ourselves [G] if we can't agree
How
[Em] the [C] world turns, [G] who made the sun, who owns the sea
The world [C] we know, [G] fall piece by piece
[C] [G]
[C] [G]
[Em] Face toward [C] the sea, [G] look to heaven up [Em] above
Let the world [C] revolve [G] around me, no one could tell me otherwise
[Em] But the turbulent [C] waters won't reflect [G] this lie
Only [Em] [C] the sun, moon [G] and sky, and all illusions shattered
[C] [G] All illusions [Em] shattered
[C] [G]
[Em] Money's [C] only paper, [G] only him
We'll
[Em] destroy [C] ourselves [G] if we can't agree
How [Em] the [C] world turns, who made [G] the sun, who owns the sea
[Em] The world [C] we know, [G] fall piece by piece
[Em] [C] [G]
[Em] [C] [G]
Money's only [C] paper, [G] only him
[Em] Money's [C] only paper, [G] only him
Money's [Em] [C] only paper, [G] only him
[Em] Money's only [C] paper, [G] only him
