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