Intro
G# F# A#m C# D#
[Verse 1]
G#
It's always getting clearer
F#
It's coming through to me
A#m
Can you hear it in your ear
C# D#
When you are fast asleep?
G#
They're always sending letters
F#
They wait for you at home
A#m
It's hard to drown it out
C# D#
This empty, endless drone
[Chorus]
G# D#
And it's crumbling down
C# D#
And it's rotting away
G# D#
And you're wanting to leave
C# D#
But you'll never escape
[Verse 2]
G#
They call when you are sleeping
F#
They shake your hand downtown
A#m
Seems like everywhere you go
C# D#
They follow you around
G#
You hear it when you're driving
F#
You see it on the wall
A#m
Everytime you read it there
C# D#
You feel nothing at all
[Chorus]
G# D#
And was it just a lie?
C# D#
And was this all a dream?
G# D#
Well, we always will wonder
C# D#
But never believe
[Bridge]
C# D#
When they come from every angle
G# G#/G Fm
You can close your eyes
C#
Turn your head
D#
You don't have to reply
[Instrumental]
G# F# A#m C# D#
[Verse 3]
G#
Come look into the water
F#
Go stare into the sun
A#m
Don't let it haunt the thing
C# D#
That you will soon become
[Chorus]
G# D#
And it's crumbling down
C# D#
And it's rotting away
G# D#
And you're wanting to leave
C# D#
But you'll never escape
G# D#
And was it just a lie?
C# D#
And was this all a dream?
G# D#
Well, we always will wonder
C# D# G#
But never believe it could be
