B                  A   E
Running short on imagination
         B                    A E
Still we waste it all on words
B                  A    E          B
Spoken without the benefit of our minds

B                    A     E
The candle burns the edges fray
B                    A     E
Our best intentions waste away
B              A          E           B
And everybody loves the things we've done

And on and on and on


G            A
Life appears weightless
    B     A      G
For everyone but me
                 A             B  B A B A
This world grows heavier everyday
G           A
Deterioration
        B       A    G
Growing old before my time
       F#    G   A   B   
Nobody cares never mind

B                  A        E
We all prey on our vain condition
    B                          A E
And the hopelessness of it all
B                     A    E          B
These days there's nothing we can trust

B                        A         E
The dreams we made we've seen them fade
B               A      E
Trampled by out sad parade
B               A           E          B
Yet we're so pleased with what we've done

And on and on and I'm done

G            A
Life appears weightless
    B     A      G
For everyone but me
                 A             B  B A B A
This world grows heavier everyday
G           A
Deterioration
        B       A    G
Growing old before my time
       F#    
Nobody cares

G               A            B
The mind breaks down when it dies
                        G
Our machines doubled in size
        A                    B
To orchestrate the grand collapse
                            G
I see us all trapped in its path
             A             B
There was a time we were unbound
                          G
As if we'd never hit the ground
               A                       B
But just like rain we can't keep from falling
