INTRO (and verse riff) in 5/4, like this: G5 G5 G5 C5 C5  G5 G5 G5 C5 C5

G5                  C5   C5 G5
 Lives in a little lonely  town
C5  C5    G5        C5    C5     G5         C5 C5
No one's around, except for the drinking
G5            C5    C5 G5
 Nobody ever gets a - round
    C5     C5 G5         C5   C5  G5        C5 (rhythm change)
But those who leave the township sinking


        ( C5 )     B5  D5    A5    D5
BRIDGE: May you rot     in heaven
               B5 D5     A5   D5
        Got to be home by seven


                G5     D5   E5
CHORUS: And the field burns away
            C5   G5         A5
        The sky breathes it in
           D5           G5
        So why sit and wait
            C5       G5     D5      G5    C5 C5 (back to verse rhythm )
        For the new world   to begin?

I'm coming out across your borders

With new orders for you to take

I'd really like to take out your daughter

Down by the water, down by the lake

BRIDGE: When the cold water's on her skin

        I can feel how long it's been

CHORUS: And the neighbors will all be there

        And no one will know what to wear

        So why sit and wait

        For the new world to begin?

INSTRUMENTAL: follows chords of next verse

I got a lot I got to do

Just to get through the end of the day
A5               D5 D5 A5
 It hardly ever e-ven happens
    D5 D5   D5                 C5
But I go to sleep the same anyway

INSTRUMENTAL BRIDGE: B5 D5 A5 D5

CHORUS: And you can't believe in yourself
        You can't believe in anyone else
        So why sit and wait
        For the new world to begin?

OUTRO: Verse chords, end on G
