CHORUS:
G5                C5
Come, all you no hopers,
    G5          D5
you jokers and rogues
      G5              C5
we're on the road to nowhere,
           G5            D5
let's find out where it goes
G5             D5             C5          D5
It might be a ladder to the stars, who knows
      G5          C5
Come, all you no hopers,
    D5          G5
you jokers and rogues.

VERSE 1:
G5              C5              G5                 D5
Leave all your furrows in the fields where they lie
     G5             C5
Your factories and offices; 
G5             D5
kiss them all goodbye 
G5             D5                  C5            D5
Have a little faith in the dream maker in the sky 
        C5     D5    C5       D5
There's glory in believing him 
         G5            C5        D5
and it's all in the beholder's eye. 

CHORUS

VERSE 2:
Turn off your engines and slow down your wheels 
Suddenly your master plan loses its appeal 
Everybody knows that this reality's not real 
So raise a glass to all things past and celebrate how good it feels. 

CHORUS

BRIDGE:
 D5           C5              G5
Awash on the sea of our own vanity 
            D5            C5       G5
We should rejoice in our individuality 
       C5         D5            C5       D5          D5
Though it's gale force, let's steer a course for sanity
