VERSE 1
********
Am                                 
Looking like something from out of 
D
space we came
Bm              Bb              
Nothing much to look at but did he 
C
complain
   E                            Am
He didn't mind us being here to 
                D
live in peace and grace
F                           E
What we're doing to him now could 
put us back in space

VERSE 2
********
      Am                           
We're thinking like some creatures 
        D
off the ocean floor
Bm              Bb                
Losing sight of what we've really 
C
come here for
    E                              
Can I be heard above the sounds of 
Am            D
prejudice and hate
F                        E       
Take time to look around before 
           C
it gets too late

VERSE 3
********
      Am                          
We're tearing up the rivers and a 
D
thousand streams
    Bm                   Bb   
And highways, they're in places 
                C
where they've never been
      E                            
We're building towers in the sky 
  Am             D
and racing for the sun
   F                 E
Oh Lord, any eye can see what harm 
we've done

VERSE 4
********
Am                           D
Need some help to get myself out of 
this maze
Bm               Bb              
We can both just say goodbye and go 
C
our separate ways
   E                               
My mind's not on this song I sing, 
   Am                 D
my heart's not in the lines
F                                 
  Guess I'll go and kill myself, 
            E
so would you kindly close the blinds
