[G] [F#]
[G] [E]
[A] [G] We'd be [D] on our way, says it at this stage, [G] to sit and [Dm] talk and hum [Em] and play,
before [G] there's not much else to [D] do in this dry, [G] bad, gutter-like place.
[F#m] [G]
[E] [A]
[G] Sit [D] amongst the rubble, [G] dry as mice, if discarded, [D] we got wrecked.
We will have [G] no use for much, this small tree [D] embers of [Em] yesterday.
[A]
When [G] our lips [A] touch, the sun shines, lighting [G] our world.
[F#] Beautiful features, [C#] the spark of told it for [D] seconds.
What if we [G] caught smarties [A] to acknowledge life?
[G] A brave [F#m] producer's show of compassion,
[C#] that is forbidden [D] in this dry, bad, gutter [E]-like world.

[G] [F#m]
[G] [F#m]
[G] [E]
[A] [G] We'd [D] be on our way, says the ones [G] behind the old,
bodies [D] of our ancestors, [G] standing free, we're the ones,
[Em] off-shadowed [D] by the [Em] monolith [G] monstrosities, cast in stone.
[F#m] [G]
[E] [A]
[G] They're [D] all monsters, shit, there's plenty [Em] living in the hole,
we've got the dollar, [D] tears, a bunch of [G] footballs,
we're lagging, [A] times are rustling, [D] fights, because we sit [G] and rub in our [F#m] hands.
[G] What's a [F#] rainbow?
[G] Tumble and fall,
[F#]
[G] like our [F#] lives,
[E] just like [A] ours.
[G] How [D] could we be honest, when we're wasting [G] our youths,
when we could [D] play [Em] and think, without [G] feeling guilty.
[D] Meet me there, time [G]-bombing, have the hot hands.
[F#m] [G] Tumble and fall,
[F#m] [G] like our lives,
[F#m] just like [E] ours.
