Verse 1: Starts with a G then D.
Em             G  D  Em                G  D
The more I see       The less I scream
Em                         G  D  Em
The figure eight inside out      Is infinity
Am                                   G  D
The naked light bulb is always wrong
Em                           G  D  Em
They make your brain complete      then they blow it to kingdom come.

Chorus:
C         Am        G              Em
Riderless horses on Chomsky's Camelot
C          Am            G                 Em
Bruises on my hands from digging my nails out
C           Am        G              Em
A series of images against you and me
C            Am               G                Em
Trespass your torments if you are what you wanna be

I once impersonated       A shop work dummy
Em                        G  D  Em
The levi jean will always       Be stronger than the uzi
Am                                             G  D
A dwarf takes his cockrel out of the cockfight
Em                         G  D  Em
Falcons attack the pigeons       In the west wing at night

Though not actually played in the acoustic version I used to write this tab, if you
like to add in the chords between the Am in the second half of the verses, in a similar
to the G and D between the Em, the chords are a G power chord and B power chord, on the 
and fifth strings respectively.
