VERSE 1

Dmaj7

Bald men were

D6

beating on

F#m7/E

oil

drums

In the

indoor

D6

marshalling

Am7

yards

The

Gm

ceiling so high, like a

C7

brown indoor sky

And

Bbmaj7

cellos and bow doors were

Abmaj7

carved

The

Dmaj7

audience

D6

looked just like

F#m7/E

shoppers

Which

D

most so

D6

far had not be

E9/G#

come

Our

Gmaj7

faces stayed blank and

G6

we

F#m

hoovered up crank

While

Gmaj7

upstairs the roads teemed with

CHORUS 1

Scabs and spooks and

Brittle blue

D6

slivers of

F#m7/E

morning

Poked into

D6

Frank’s piggy

Am7

eyes

Gm

Beaming through sweat, he

C7

shivered on set

As a

Bbmaj7

researcher spooned him co

Abmaj7

caine

He

Dmaj7

spoke of the

D6

need for more

F#m7/E

layoffs

As his

D

golf pals sug

D6

gested he

E9/G#

do

Tech

Gmaj7

nology stuff

G6

would

F#m

mop those lives up

Computer graphics and

Bm/F#

digital

F#m

bluff

Gmaj7

Now he’s an old man with

F#m

shakes and one kidney

CHORUS 2

And his

proposition is

our

condition

He’s

melting, he’s melting,

D7

say it, say it

sadness

G

Now each heartbeat

F6

matters

C

Say goodbye to

B7/D#

beauty, ruin,

Dm/F

rainbows,

springtime

C

Credit, blackmail,

Am

drugs and sorrow

C

Open kisses,

Am

despair,

wonder

Ivy-covered

frozen graveyards and the

waning

C

Sun
