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