[Verse 1]
           C                            Am
There’s a hole in the ceiling where the weather gets in
     F                            G
It’s been there for ages, but you try and pretend
          C                        Am
That it’s just a reflection of the hole in the floor
     F                         G
That fills up with water every time that it storms
Am          AmMaj7
Clutching a copy of “The Power of Now”
     C           C/b    Am     G
And humming your favorite song
 F                      C
“Isn’t she lovely,” the blind singer said
 F                            G
And kept on repeating, though nobody answered him

[Verse 2]
          C                        Am
There’s a chorus of killers singing outside your door
    F                                  G
The sciеntist prophesied all that’s in store
    C                           Am
For king and for country as you fall on your sword
     F                    G
Thеn wonder at all of the blood on the floor
    Am                  AmMaj7
The essence of history, the balm of desire
    C                C/B        Am   G
The snake that keeps eating its tail
       F                    C
On the sinking Titanic, the quartet kept playing
   F                   G                  Am
As into the ocean, the pride of an empire sank
 
[Bridge]
F                      G
How can I tell you the secret
   C       C/B          Am
If I don’t remember the words?
F                       G
How can we keep playing favorites
     C            C/B        Am
When who’s to say what we deserve?
F                     G
All of our heroes are famous
    C        C/B       Am
But Superman died in a chair
   F                G                  Am
If any among you is blameless, you can cast the first stone
      G                        F
But I can’t keep pretending to care
 
[Verse 3]
           C                           Am
There’s a clock somewhere counting the hours and days
     F                      G
That make up the memory of all our mistakes
    C                            Am
And who’s guilty conscience will carry the weight
       F                       G
Of the future unwritten on the filthiest plate?
     Am                   AmMaj7
Your humanist dogma, your Christian belief
       C           C/B           Am  G
Aren’t really that different at all
    F                          C
If something from somewhere is guiding your steps
F             G            C
What will you do if you’re wrong?
