Verse 1
A5              A5
  Back of your mind
                     B5
  You're counting it down
                     F5
  You want what you want
                        A5
  You're not worrying now
            A5
  Taunt the TVs
                B5
  Left, right, left
                    F5
  Hear the lights change
                     A5
  And hide in your head
                     A5
  You slide off the side
                      B5
  And curse in your sleep
                      F5
  You kiss your clay lips
                   A5
  And kill the canteen
                   A5
  So now its all gone
                       B5
  It's all leaving or left
                    F5
  The bees will die out
                               
  And you'll wonder who's next

Chorus 1
C5        G5        F5        D5
      And so as part of the whole
                 C5
  You try'n let go of
   G5         F5         D5  A5 E5 F5 F5
  All that you can't control

Verse 2 - (same as verse 1, sometimes he plays the chords an octave higher)
Cause you spent all your spin
2004, but nothing much changed,
And nothing felt sure.
Except maybe one thing
One ominous fact
So you checked yourself out
With the crowd that's rolled back
While you're waving goodbye
Clouds grouped in white flags
Prospectors line up
Cuffed jeans and messenger bags
Seeing memories sold
Grave plots in the glow
Cafes and condos
Watch'em go watch'em go, oh
watch'em go, watch'em go

Chorus 2 - (same as first until noted)
And so as part of the whole
You try'n let go of
All that you can't control
So most of you stay
You settle in waves
Complacently asleep
Or a quarter awake
                              D5          
Keep down the dertif' in your brain
A5   E5      F5
You can't take
D5   A5    E5     F5
Truth you can't face
D5   A5    E5     F5   F5
Truth you can't fake

Ending- (repeats several times)
A5                  A5
 You gotta face it, oh
                    B5
 You gotta face it, oh
                  F5
 You gotta face it
