[Verse 1]
D#m7
Thought I was a spaceman
C#m
Digging out my heart
Bmaj7/F#
In some distant sand dunes
Bmaj7/F# G#sus2
In a car park
D#m7
'Cause the desert had encroached upon
C#m
The places where we lived
Bmaj7/F#
People like me fight
Bmaj7/F# G#sus2
To keep the demons in
D#m7
But we never succeeded
C#m Bmaj7/F#
We never succeeded
Bmaj7/F# G#sus2
In fact, we failed

By the empty harbour

[Verse 3]
D#m7
Thought I found my black box
C#m
Washed up on the shore
Bmaj7/F#
On outlying islands
Bmaj7/F# G#sus2
Past the land fall
D#m7
Thought I'd thought I'd found it
C#m
But that was not true at all
Bmaj7/F#
I'd walked into a bar
Bmaj7/F# G#sus2
Raised hell
[Verse 4]
D#m7
Cut the chasm out me
C#m
Always and always the same
Bmaj7/F#
Put the ghost in writing
Bmaj7/F# G#sus2
And let it be (You again)
