Verse
E E
I run on down the street, with all the wandering things
E E
Everyone can see, the world is coming free
A A
The monumental minds will dangle on a wire
E E
The great enormous wall, eventually will fall
[Chorus]
B
And all the world is waiting
A
To lay beneath the water
B
To rise up from the ruins
A
And climb up from the bottom
E
Oh yeah
[Verse 2]
E E
I thought I heard you say the end is on the way
E E
I thought I heard you sing a million lovely things
A A
I thought I heard you cry, a howling through the night
E E
An everlasting scream, to echo through your dreams
[Chorus]
B
And all the world is waiting
A
To lay beneath the water
B
To rise up from the ruins
A
And climb up from the bottom
E
Oh yeah
[Bridge]
(These are the bass notes. Play these while
plucking the open G# and E strings)
C# C B A#
It was always growing there, a dim light in my eyes
A E
Coming on to lead me through the night
C# C B A#
All at once then slowly every sound you've ever known
A E
Is hummed by all the world into a drone
A E
Is hummed by all the world into a drone
[Chorus]
B
And all the world is waiting
A
To lay beneath the water
B
To rise up from the ruins
A
And climb up from the bottom
E
Oh yeah
E
Oh yeah
