    C
The people's key
Ringing through arena seats
    Am
The black machine
Played it all from memory
  F
A fever dream
Well, I'll come back eventually
   Fm
To wade into the water
Another and another

We go
Am                    G
      Form some kind of code
         Am
The bodies float
                  G
And form some kind of code
         Am
The bodies float
             G
Someone's out to know

F
Papa hobo
     G
Don't hide your eyes
F
Mother mountain
      G                   Am
Don't kill your unborn child
F         C
  His day is coming
F         
  His day is coming


  C
A question burns
Beneath the centuries of dirt
     Am
That voice you've heard
Well, every head's a different world
      F
Well, mine's concerned 
I boarded up the windows
    Fm
A catatonic plateau
A backwards black-faced minstrel show



Am                   G
      So just let me go
           Am
The prisoner moans
            G
Oh, just let me go
           Am
The prisoner moans
            G
No one has to know


F                G
  Eva Braun went to dye her hair
F                  G                 Am
  Little Hitler sighs in his giant's chair
F             C
  And dreamed of nowhere
F             C
  And dreamed of nowhere
F      C
  And dreamed


    C (hold)
The people's key
Ringing filling everything
    Am (hold)
The theme repeats
Thinner than the galaxy
   F (hold)
Impart to me
Your wisdom and eventually
     Fm (hold)
I'll float into the ether
Another from another


We grow
Am                G
  Form some kind of code
         Am
A flesh at bone
                 G
We form some kind of code
           Am
A flesh at bone
            G
No, you're not alone


F                 G
  History bows and it steps aside
F                  G              Am
  In the jungle there's columns of purple light
F            C
  We're starting over
F            C
  We're starting over
F            C
  We're starting 
F            C
  We're starting
