[Verse 1]

Thought I was a spaceman

Digging out my heart

In some distant sand dunes
A#maj7/F Gsus2
In a car park

'Cause the desert had encroached upon
Cm
The places where we lived
A#maj7/F
People like me fight
A#maj7/F Gsus2
To keep the demons in

But we never succeeded

We never succeeded

Thought I found my black box
Cm
Washed up on the shore
A#maj7/F
On outlying islands

Past the land fall

I'd walked into a bar
A#maj7/F Gsus2
Raised hell

Always and always the same

And let it be (You again)
