D5
And so they say, so they say, so they say
               F5
"But you won't understand the 
C5
workings of this world with your
                   Bb5      
head buried in the sand." 

D5
And so I say, so I say, so I say
                        F5
"But there's so much to do? And the
C5
graveness of the situation
                        Bb5
is shadowed by my ineptitude."

                         F5                C5
There's nothing like the moon to hide the sun,
                        D5                    Bb5
we're forced to use the lamp-post to guide us home. 
                        F5             C5
We thought we'd last forever, we were wrong. We walk home through
    D5                 Bb5                       F5         C5
the night time singing songs, 'cause there's no forever.
                D5  Bb5                     F5  C5                   D5  Bb5  C5
There's no forever,     There's no forever,    there's no forever.

D5                                                                                           F5
Trust the fact that everything is relative, trust the fact that nobody will ever say: 'fine.
                                       C5                                Bb5    C5
The brain is all there is to the mind.' But life is not a waste of your time. 

D5
This is no lament, it's suspension of belief, it's analyzing everything to justify a means. 
F5
"KEEP GOD OUT OF FIRHOUSE." was written down by my house. 
C5
Ten foot letters on a concrete wall. Did the priest mind? Well not at all. 
Bb5
If he has to pick and choose well then his ethics are his. 

                          F5                      C5                  D5                  Bb5
There's nothing like your brain to spoil the fun, but you must keep living until you're done. 
                F5                    C5           D5                  Bb5                   F5     C5
This was all in effort to feel alive. If anybody sings this into the night. It'll live forever. 
                D5  Bb5                     F5  C5                   D5  Bb5
It'll live forever,     It'll live forever,    It'll live forever.

F5                                                     A5                                    
Etch my name in a tree so passers-by are aware that I once lived a life without a care. 
D5                                                  Bb5
A single set of footprints just to prove that I was there.
F5                                                   A5                            
Well you're lookin' at me while I'm lookin' at you. When will you realise,
                                D5    Bb5 F5 C5
son, you're singing to an empty room?
         D5   Bb5 F5 C5          D5   Bb5 F5 C5          D5   Bb5 F5 C5 F5
An empty room ,       An empty room ,       An empty room.
