Intro:
2 measures of Em7no5 and then Am

Am              G
yes this is the campaign
          F#m
slithered entrails
       Em
in the cargo bay

Am

Am              G       
neutered is the vastness
       F#m
hallow vacuum check the
Em
oxygen tanks

Am

Am
they hibernate
    G
but have they kissed the ground
F#m                    Em
pucker up and kiss the asphalt now

Am

Am             G
tease this amputation
           F#m
splintered larynx
       Em
it has access now

Em7no5 - Em9no5/D

CHORUS:
Fmaj13/C  Cmaj7
cut away, cut away
Em7no5
send transmission from
    Em9no5
the one armed scissor
(play this three times)

Am7 - Am - G - F#m - E 

Am       G
banked on memory
F#m      E
mummified circuitry
Am        G
skin graft machinery
F#m     E                        Am7
sputnik sickles found in the seats

             G
self-destruct sequence
F#m             E
this station is non-operational
Am7    Gm7
species growing
F#m7          Em7      Am
bubbles in an IV loitering

  G        F#m
unknown origin
            E                Am7
is this the comfort of being afraid
  G    F#m
solar eclipsed
              E
black out the vultures
         Am
as they wait

  G         F#m
Unknown - unknown
E          Am
To-do.... no
  G         F#m      Em7
Unknown - unknown - yeah!

CHORUS x3

Em - Gmaj9 - C - B7

Em       Gmaj9            C
dissect a trillion sighs away
         B7             Em
will you get this letter
       Gmaj9               C
jagged pulp sliced in my veins
        B7         Em
i write to remember
             Gmaj9          C
'cause i'm a million miles away
         B7             Em
will you get this letter
       Gmaj9               C
jagged pulp sliced in my veins
        B7         Em
i write to remember
         Gmaj9      C
my right to remember
        B7       
i write to remember

Em - Gmaj9 - C - B7 (x2)
