[Verse 1]
N.C.        C                     D5
Well they’d better save some space 
for me
        Em               F
In that growing cottage industry
      G      E       Am
Where selfishness is currency
       F
People spend more than they make

     C                   D5
So I wrapped my head in bandages
         Em               F
From the string of happy accidents
  G          E   Am
I guess maybe I asked for it
    F
But who am I to say


[Pre-Chorus 1]
    Em                 E          
The closing bell death tolls, hear
     Am           G
 the market crash
         F                   G    
A crying trader swears he’ll get 
          C    G
out of the game
            Em               E    
The cowboy drinks himself to 
            Am    Am/G  D/F#
death, fresh out of rehab
              F                    
While they’re loading all the 
          G
rifles on the range

[Chorus 1]
N.C.            C
Look up at that Everest
                  F
Look down in that Mariana Trench
                Am                 
Look now as the crumbling 405 falls
                   G
 down, oh when the big one hits

                 C
Look out for the plainclothes
                      F
Look out for what the wiretap knows
                Am                 
Look out on the ever-widening money
                    G
 trail and where it goes

[Verse 2]
N.C.       C               D5
It takes a lot of gall to try to 
please
        Em          F
These dehumanizing entities
    G           E    Am
I befriended all my enemies
            F
They had my back against the wall

     C                D5
Oh a coward is what a coward does
     Em           F
I suppose maybe I always was
        G         E      Am
But I’m sick of it, I’ve had enough
            F
And now I’m ready for the war


[Pre-Chorus 2]
    Em            E               
The lion bows his head down to the
  Am        G
 ringmaster
         F                      G 
With the tightrope stretched so 
                   C  G
high above the crowd
          Em        N.C.            
   Am          Am/G  D/F#
All these faces are contortionists, 
it must have hurt
            F                      
’Cause they all looked as unhappy 
    G
as a clown


[Chorus 2]
N.C.              C
Look long at that Stonehenge
                 F
Look quick is it something you 
missed
               Am                  
Look into that smoldering 
                          G
building’s bombed out fog until it 
finally lifts

                C
Look up at that big wave
                  F
Look down at your other brother’s 
grave
                Am                 
Look hard for a harder something to
                           G
 sacrifice, that’s what it takes

That’s what it takes


[Bridge]
D5                Em
   That’s what it takes, hmm
D5                Em
   That’s what it takes, ha
D5                Em
   That’s what it takes, ha
F         G
   Ha, ha, ha


[Chorus 3]
                C
Look up at that Everest
N.C.              F
Look down in that Mariana Trench
                Am                 
Look now as the crumbling 405 falls
                   G
 down, oh when the big one hits

                 C
Look out for the plainclothes
                    F
Speak soft what the wiretap knows
                Am                 
Look out on the ever-widening money
                    G
 trail and where it goes
