The Worlds Fair Cifras

[Intro]
E A C#m B (x2)
 
 
[Part 1]
 
E           A         C#m
You pass my way every day
B        E         A C#m B
but only today did I see
E           A         C#m
beyond that crumbling façade
    B            E              A C#m B
the incredible things you could be
 
A               G#m
So wipe off the damp and mildew
B
Bite off the hand that built you
 
[Part 2]
      F#m     E           B
My wonderful, murderous thing
          C#m   G#m A B
I see you clear now
F#m                    B
God wouldn't kiss you goodnight
           A       C#m G#m  A     B
but soon you won't need her anyhow
 
 
  F#m
We predate the nation
G#m
in which we were born
       A                         B
and the graves that we dig will remain
                  E A C#m
long after we're gone
 
B           E            A C#m B
I have been waiting for you
 
 
[Part 3]
    C#m
So please
            A
listen and you'll
           E        B C#m A
understand me when I sing -
     C#m             A
the breeze whistling through
            E         B C#m B A
parts of me nobody's ever seen
G#m B C#m B A A5
No-oh
 
G#m                      B
We are of kind, creature
N.C
A pleasure to finally meet you
 
 
[Part 4]
   F#m                    B
My strange and unmerciful thing
               C#m G#m A B
I feel like I know you
 F#m              B
He who cannot be contained
                C#m G#m A B
Christ, let me hold you
             F#m       G#m
I'll be your tower without
    A            B
any windows or doors;
      F#m        G#m               A
your castle that bursts from the earth
      B         F#m
like pus from a sore
 
 
[Outro]
             A          E
I have been waiting for you
