Intro:

[C#m5] [-] [E5] [-] [D#5] [A5] [-] [C#m5] [-] [B5]

[C#m]I think I know what you [F#m]mean but w[G#m]atch what you [E]say
'[C#m]cause they'll be trying to k[F#m]nock you [G#m]down in some [E]way
S[C#m]ometimes it feels like the w[F#m]orld is f[G#m]alling as[E]leep
H[C#m]ow do you wake someone [F#m]up from in[G#m]side a dre[E]am?

Y[C#m]our mind would wander and s[F#m]earch for its p[G#m]lace in the n[E]ight
Y[C#m]our body followed this fe[F#m]eling like f[G#m]ollowing l[E]ight
O[C#m]nce that your music was [F#m]born it fo[G#m]llowed you 'r[E]ound
A[C#m]nd then it gave your act[F#m]ivities, meaning and[G#m] let you be l[E]oud

[F#m]You're sad but you s[G#m]mile
[A]It not in your e[E]yes
[F#m]Your eyeballs won't c[G#m]hange
A Open E
It's the muscles around your eyes

Open E in Chorus

[G#m]An egg to fertil[E]ize
[G#m]A pulse to stabil[E]ize
[G#m]A body to deodor[E]ize
[G#m]A life to scrutin[E]ize
[G#m]A child to critic[E]ize
[G#m]Young adults to moder[E]nize
[G#m]Citizens to terror[E]ize
[G#m]Generations to desensit[E]i

Solo: C#m - F#m - B - E I think 3 times

[C#m]You're dreams are sweet and ob[F#m]sessed and y[G#m]our overw[E]orked
Y[C#m]ou're overtaken by v[F#m]isions of b[G#m]eing overl[E]ooked
Ho[C#m]w disappointed would D.(ead) I[F#m].(dealistic)
D.(esperate)I[G#m].(nventor)P(ioneer)P.(hilosophers)[E]Be
t[C#m]o see such power in our h[F#m]ands all wa[G#m]sted on gr[E]eed
A[C#m]m I a prisoner to instincts?
Or do[F#m] my thoughts just live
As free and det[G#m]ached
As boats to the d[E]ock?
[C#m]Just like when music was [F#m]born and de[G#m]tached from your h[E]eart
[C#m]Is your free time to free[F#m] minds or for[G#m] falling a[E]part?

[F#m]Night after [G#m]night
[A]You turn out the [E]light
[F#m]You don't fall as[G#m]leep right a[A]way
Open E
"Are we... are we done?"

[G#m]A desk to organ[E]ize
[G#m]A product to advert[E]ise
[G#m]A market to monopol[E]ize
[G#m]Movie stars you idol[E]ize
[G#m]Leaders to scandal[E]ize
[G#m]Enemies to neutral[E]ize
[G#m]No time to apolog[E]ize
[G#m]Fury to tranquil[E]ize
[G#m]Weapons to synchron[E]ize
[G#m]Cities to vapor-[E]i

There Ya go. Great song by a great band and hope ya enjoy it.
