Intro:

:Em C G G:


Verse 1:

Em           C
 Touched the mirror
G                         G
 Broke the surface of the water
Em           C
 Saw my true self
G              G
 All illusions shattered


Em C G G


Chorus:

Em            C          G       G
 Money's only paper only ink
Em                C                   G      G
 We'll destroy ourselves if we can't agree
Em             C
 How the world turns 
              G
 Who made the sun
              G
 Who owns the sea
Em            C                       G       G
 The world we know will fall piece by piece


:Em C G G:


Verse 2:

Em           C                          G
 Sat down up close to the colored black hole
             G
 Like they'd always told me not to
Em             C                     G
 Saw the one dimension polka dot pacifier
           G
 And all illusions shattered


Em C G G


Chorus:

Em            C          G       G
 Money's only paper only ink
Em                C                   G      G
 We'll destroy ourselves if we can't agree
Em             C
 How the world turns 
              G
 Who made the sun
              G
 Who owns the sea
Em            C                       G       G
 The world we know will fall piece by piece


:Em C G G:


Verse 3:
 
Em            C      G          G
 Bared myself wholly  heart and body unadorned
Em             C 
 Stripped down solely
G       G
 To the evil and the good
Em       C                  G
 Felt no shame naked to the world
           G
 And all illusions shattered


Em C G G


Chorus:

Em            C          G       G
 Money's only paper only ink
Em                C                   G      G
 We'll destroy ourselves if we can't agree
Em             C
 How the world turns 
              G
 Who made the sun
              G
 Who owns the sea
Em            C                       G       G
 The world we know will fall piece by piece


:Em C G G:


Verse 4:

Em                 C
 Faced towards the sea
G          G
 Looked to heaven up above
Em        C                    G
 Felt the world revolve around me
              G
 No one could tell me otherwise
Em                 C                         G      G
 But the turbulent waters won't reflect this life
Em        C                G (stop playing)
 Only the sun the moon and sky
(no Chords)
 And all illusions shattered
Em C G           G
       And all illusions shattered 

Em C G G


Chorus:

Em            C          G       G
 Money's only paper only ink
Em                C                   G      G
 We'll destroy ourselves if we can't agree
Em             C
 How the world turns 
              G
 Who made the sun
              G
 Who owns the sea
Em            C                       G       G
 The world we know will fall piece by piece


:Em C G G:


 Em            C          G       G
: Money's only paper only ink:        (4x)
