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