It's just a repeat between Em and G 

Part 1

Riff x2
I do my best to sleep through the caterwaul
Riff x2
The classicists, the posturing avant-garde
C
I bought a grey macaw, named him Jules Verne
D
He'll probably outlive me he's a bright bird
Riff x2
Keeps me company I teach him new words

Riff x2
I saw a hologram at the theme park
Riff x2
She looked as real as me through the white fog
C
Then she melted down to her ankles
D
Turned into a million-watt candle
Riff x2
If I knew where she went I would follow

Part 2

Am
Walking through the land of tomorrow
D
Martian trinkets, plastic Apollos
G
In the sunshine try to act normal
C
My veins are full of flat cherry-cola
Riff x2
Slept on a bench by the rollercoaster

Part 3
D                        C            G
Dreamt I was riding on a motorbike
D                     C            G            D
Lion of Judah painted on the side

Part 1
Riff x2
I'm doing fine, I'm back in the palisades
Riff x2
Life's a wash, a pastoral school play
C
China shops and cold ivory towers
D
I and I make toasts to the Caesars
Riff x2
Forcing down the dregs of Decembers

Riff x2
Madeline she spins in a slow bang
Riff x2
All through the house the strong smell of burnt sage
C
Let's make it clean and run out the spirits
D
I know a diving bell when I hear it
Riff x2
We're going down now under the surface

Part 2
Am
Light to dark can shift in an instant
D
Feeling close but keeping my distance
G
On all fours she's just so insistent
C
Fills my mind with jump ropes and slit wrists
Riff x 2
Bust through the Firewall into heaven

Part 3
D                        C            G
Then I'm standing in that blinding light
D                        C            G         D
Crooked crosses falling from the sky

Part 4
G
Seen yeah seen by I and I
C
Seen yeah seen by I and I

Repeats until
