[A]
Circles made of silver [Dm] reflecting sounds [A] of rain
Lights flicker across the water like [D] dreams across [A] our brain
There's trouble in the [Em] distance [A]
between a full moon and a storm
Light takes no prisoners [D] when the [A] darkness comes
And though you notice [Em] nothing, [A] [D] still you cannot [A] decide
Whether to keep [Em] on looking [A] [D] or lie down [A] and die
[Am] So when she [A] wakes up, [Am]
won't you [A] please tell her
That I had the answer
Down by the [Em] casino, [A] [Dm] they're still fighting over [A] time
And their shouts drift up to the window [D] like birdsong in [A] her mind
Now they start throwing [G] punches, [D] a dear [A] sadness in their blood
For they both know on a different evening, [D] they could [A] fall in love
There's pools of blood [G] on the pavement, [A] and it's dripping through the cracks
Back into [G] the soil [A] to our destiny of dust
[Am] So when she [A] wakes up,
[Am] won't you please [D] tell her
That the birds were singing softly [A] at her window
There's rats beneath the floorboards, and [E] parasites [A] on your skin
They're chewing on [Em] your inner [A] thoughts and nesting upon your sin
And the old man who lives next door seems to know something you don't
First the wallpaper [Em] was peeling, [A] [D] [A] now there's smoke
There's a fire raging out [G] in the hallway, and [A] you're supposed to run away
But that old man's [G] slowly walking [A] back towards the plane
[Am] So when she wakes up, won't you please [D] tell her
I [A] thought there was something in there that we needed
The revolution that you've been waiting [G] for happened [D] without you some years [A] ago
And the things that you've been [Em] saving for [A] will only make you feel more alone
These shaking [G] televisions, [A] all the notes play out of tune
These dark and twisted visions, explosions in the afternoon
We know everything about our future, we know nothing about our past
These fires will keep [G] on burning, and nothing we make [Am] will last
So when she [A] wakes up,
[Am] won't you [A] please tell her
That there was peace, and we were the good who were fighting off the evil
Where the rain still [G] hits the window, the morning's making its [A] kill
And that sunshine runs its weary tongue along my windowsill
This platform was built on a sand, but our headsets are well designed
We still stare out of [G] our chambers like we're kings [A] of ancient time
My eyes are tired from seeing, [D] my head is [A] tired of thoughts
What else is there [G] worth saving, [Dm] what else can not [Am] be bought
So when she [D] wakes up, [Am]
won't you please tell her
[D] That [A] this is the life that we are supposed to be living
Circles made of silver [Dm] reflecting sounds [A] of rain
Lights flicker across the water like [D] dreams across [A] our brain
There's trouble in the [Em] distance [A]
between a full moon and a storm
Light takes no prisoners [D] when the [A] darkness comes
And though you notice [Em] nothing, [A] [D] still you cannot [A] decide
