Intro
F# E G#m B C#
[Verse 1]
F#
It's always getting clearer
E
It's coming through to me
G#m
Can you hear it in your ear
B C#
When you are fast asleep?
F#
They're always sending letters
E
They wait for you at home
G#m
It's hard to drown it out
B C#
This empty, endless drone
[Chorus]
F# C#
And it's crumbling down
B C#
And it's rotting away
F# C#
And you're wanting to leave
B C#
But you'll never escape
[Verse 2]
F#
They call when you are sleeping
E
They shake your hand downtown
G#m
Seems like everywhere you go
B C#
They follow you around
F#
You hear it when you're driving
E
You see it on the wall
G#m
Everytime you read it there
B C#
You feel nothing at all
[Chorus]
F# C#
And was it just a lie?
B C#
And was this all a dream?
F# C#
Well, we always will wonder
B C#
But never believe
[Bridge]
B C#
When they come from every angle
F# F#/F D#m
You can close your eyes
B
Turn your head
C#
You don't have to reply
[Instrumental]
F# E G#m B C#
[Verse 3]
F#
Come look into the water
E
Go stare into the sun
G#m
Don't let it haunt the thing
B C#
That you will soon become
[Chorus]
F# C#
And it's crumbling down
B C#
And it's rotting away
F# C#
And you're wanting to leave
B C#
But you'll never escape
F# C#
And was it just a lie?
B C#
And was this all a dream?
F# C#
Well, we always will wonder
B C# F#
But never believe it could be
