Verse:

C                          Em
Machines in the atmosphere begin
C                           Em
Machines in the atmosphere begin to ignite themselves
C                         Em
And I live in a majestic hue
C                  Em
I, alive, in an overwhelmingly beautiful place
F           G
My mind is blown

Chorus:

Am            C       Am            C
And I will choose to sing right through
Am      C    Dm               G
All my days until Armageddon reigns
Dm                G
Or takes over our brains
Dm                      G
With everyone around me saying, "It's okay"

Verse:

C                              Em
Building these buildings before I
C                              Em
Building these buildings before I was born into the air
C                               Em
But the sky can only supply so much
C                         Em
The sky can only apply so much of it's knowledge to us
F     G
So we forget

Am         C         Am          C
And I will choose to dance right through
Am     C    Dm             G
All my days until my heart explodes
Dm                       G
Or my head grinds up its gears
Dm                  G
And it's the end of my

C                                   Am
Years I've been walking 'round this ground
C                                 Am
My fears, I fear, amount to only death of memories
C                            Am
Remember when you held me so close?
C
Was that this life?

Was that this life?
      Em                       F
Or am I slowly drifting out of time
G
To live

All my days until Armageddon reigns
Dm                G
Or takes over our brains
Dm                      G             Am
