He has [C] a true story, said [G] someone to me yesterday, said he got [Em] it in a taxi.
[C#m] Must have had [C]
emergency, drowned that [G] poor thing,
Put it out [Em] of its misery, and ram it [Am] to its future,
[C] Deny its history, deny its [G] history.

Where [Am] are we going?
We [D] are not ready for drowning.

Look through [C] my Venetian blinds,
That thing [G] that passed off my mind,
Seeing orange [Em] everywhere.
[C#m] I could go to [C] paradise, but it's [G] harder there,

What is [G] there to believe in?

Where are [Am] we going?
We are [D] not ready for [G] drowning.
