Verse
C# G#
Is part of the attraction
G#
that you want to be destroyed?
D#m
I’m the spirit on the water,
F#
you’re the formless void
C#
When I heard your voice
G#
at first I was annoyed
D#m
You woke me
[Verse 2]
C#
From the beginning of time
G#
you had so little grace
D#m
After a while not a
F#
freckle on your face
C#
I was looking for a rhyme
G#
in time and space
D#m
and you broke me
[Verse 3]
C#
You were walking
G#
round naked with
D#m
your pants not on
F#
At the gates of Eden
G#
with no sins to pardon
C#
It was Adam not Eve
G#
who threw God out of the garden you
D#m
wrote me
[Pre-chorus]

Let’s not get too clever with this stuff
F# C# G#
What are you ready to give up

[Verse 4]
C#
When you’re climbing from the wreckage
G#
of a burned out star
D#m F#
Any old neon looks like the Carlton Bar
C#
Asked where was I going
G#
I answered how far
D#m
you wanna go
C# G#
American male interiornight,
D#m F#
the cigarette smoker’s gonna find his light
C#
If you repeat it often enough
G#
wrong looks right
D#m
But deep down you know
[Pre-chorus]
F# C# G#
The smooth will make excuses for the rough
F# C# G#
You know it shouldn’t be this tough

[Bridge]
C# D#m C# D#m
Tell the oceans, tell the sun
C# D#m C# D#m
Tell the weatherman, tell everyone
[Verse 5]
C#
All the money junkies
G#
are running out of veins
D#m
If you’re one of them yourself
you’ve got no one else to blame
C#
You don’t need anymore
G#
then you have except the shame
D#m
of feeling torn
C#
between the hungry and the greedy
G#
the honeyed and the needy
D#m F#
When you serve the poor, you free me
[Verse 6]
C#
Slaves have grown accustomed
G#
to the weight of your chains
D#m
And your heads shorn
C#
your eyes will find the silence
G#
inside the hurricane
D#m
you know you must do something
F#
other than complain
C#
We’ll pray for mother earth,
G#
these are not more labour pains
D#m
Maybe you’re being born
[Pre-chorus]
F# C# G#
Out of the ash, out of the dust
F# C# G#
The clever learn, who not to trust
F# C# G#
The genius of belief, is that we must
F# C# G#
take a chance sometimes on us
