Chords relative to the capo on the 5th fret

Am
this is the window where
E
  i watched the future start
G
  my pupils dilated
Asus
  the shock sped up my arms
Fmaj
  i shut my ambushed eyes
G                                C
  and turned my face towards the heat

Am
  i felt the city choke
E
  i heard the world at war
G
  i prayed for providence
Asus
  god said, ?don?t pray no more
Fmaj
  you went and made your mess
G                            C
  now keep your blame off my feet?

Am
  so i got off my knees
E
  i faced the devil?s day
G
  the sky was murder red
Asus
  the streets were headstone gray
Fmaj
  a flaming ferris wheel
G                            F
  spun where the sun used to be

F                   G
i watched its buckets dip and dance
F                    G
i saw a couple making love lock hands
          C           G               Fbm               C
they were pushing for abandon and the answers it could bring
E                        F                G         Am
90 million miles from the graveyard growing over everything
Am
  i saw my lover chased
E
  through fields of sugarcane
G
  she clutched her belly close
Asus
  and whispered, "keep us safe"
Fmaj
  they ground her down to dust
G                    C
  no more miracles today

Am
  i dreamt myself awake
E  
  in a resort hotel
G
  above a golden coast
Asus
  beside my Southern belle
Fmaj
  we heard the sea reborn
G                 C
  in each singing shell

Am
  and every coughing car
E
  and every coiled snake
G
  and every shrieking star
Asus
  and every burning stake
Fmaj
  dissolved to atmosphere
G                     C
  all of everything, erased

F              G
i spread into a distant hum
F                  G
i droned along with everyone
        C                    G                 Fbm              C
and the earth grew green and nursed herself to what she used to be
E                                   F           G           C    E
all our senseless shouting calmed to quiet in her ancient memory

    Am           G
and oh!, what a joy,
      C    
to be free.
