     I'm working here and as I press the wrong button 
                  Em
     They'll disappear
                 Em            G                          F
     I'm walking here and as I crush the ants below me

     I'm full of fear
         Em                                 G

     Oh, can he tell me? I'll ask the sky,
                  Em
     Does it know why?

             Em            Em (strum once)
     When he dies, when he dies
