[Verse 1]
Em                     C
In the wilderness uncountable voices
G                              C, E?
Earplugs for the birds and the animals
Em                         C
And blinders for your beast of burden,
G
The will for learning
             C, E?
These books were made for burning
Em             C
in the wilderness
G                          C                       E?    Em              C
Beneath the ancient sand lies crushed and tanned those sapphire girls
G                   C, E?
May we never forget you
 
[Chorus]
D
Alert status red
        Em                C
But the sun comes up instead
 
[Verse 2]
Em                          C
In the wilderness the only place to find freedom
            G
is in the dictionary
   C, E?
Under "F"
Em                                  C
Men in holes, men in caves, men in chains
                                   G
I ask but the store clerk needn't check
       C, E?    Em
Man I forget which came first
     C                     G
The bad idea or me befallen by it?
     C, E?     Em                c, G, C, E?
Not giving a shit may we never forget you
 
[Chorus 2]
D
Alert status red
        Em               C
But the sun comes up instead
D
Alert status red
        Em               C
But the sun comes up instead

[Verse 3]
Em
In the wilderness
C                 G
Senile live the zealous
C           E?       Em
Lost to the treasures that compel us
C                 G        C, E?
Muted down like patriots amiss
Em                      C                  G
You know I'm jealous of how you can just turn them off
C        E?        Em          C
Those bad ideas that feel so soft
G                C, E?
May they never forget you
 
[Chorus 3]

D

But the sun comes up instead
D
Alert status red
        Em                C
But the sun comes up instead
