D Am
There's so many ghosts in this house
F C
It's kind of hard to breathe
D Am
They chew holes in your clothes
G Em
And while you try to sleep they glow
F Am
But I hesitate to believe
Gm C Fm Em
Cause all we are is carbon, and that's how we'll stay
Am Gm D C
We're simple things, rearranged in a complicated way
Fm Am Gm D
My heart says the stark absurdity was meaningful all along
C Fm Am Em
But my mind at rest is plagued by the thought that I'm wrong
D AM
Space travel won't solve our issues
Fm C
There's nothing out there to find
D Am
We're playing this game alone
Gm Em
This barren beach has but one stone
Fm Am
And my, my. We are the mites that occupy
Gm C Fm Em
Cause all of life is numerals, and chemicals to me
Am Gm D C
Our art and song will never stall whatever force at be
Fm Am Gm D
People think I'm crazy for lying in a ditch while others run
C Fm Am Em
But I'll be the one laughing when the tornado comes
