[Verse 1]

Abm
Oh, the world’s signing off
The second hour tells your audience 
       Ab
you’ve had enough
N.C.
And all the colors of my loneliness 
arranged across the screen
             Abm              
I think your audience has seen 
 Eb     Ab Db Eb
enough
                          Ab 
Oh yes, your audience has seen 
Eb Ab Db Eb
enough

Abm            Db    Eb     Ab Eb Ab
Oh, the world’s gone silent
       Eb        Abm   Eb
Here’s to loving life!


[Chorus]

Ab   E              Am
Soon we’ll televise our C-O-L-O-R
                      E
Now, leave me blinded and erase my 
memories
            Am
Soon you’ll be a part of C-O-L-O-R
D                 E   Em        
We leave you nauseous and it 
     Am
changes everything

                E              
And in a moment you will notice 
           Am        Dm
nothing’s quite the same
                      Em    
When my COLORBARS are mixing 
             Dm
frequencies
                Am                 
Turn the signal down and spin 
                  Dm    Em
around in the opposite direction
E                 Am
And now, will you please applaud?

N.C.
Turn the volume up, folks
N.C.
Listen to the words I say, now
N.C.
You’re a f**king idiot
N.C.
And static’s pouring out of your 
mouth
                     Eb
There’s nothing here for you to see
                Ab
For you to see, to see you
        Abm            Eb
There’s nothing here


[Chorus]

Abm
Oh, the days are getting shorter
          Eb              Ab      
There’s a voice inside my head 
              Db
that says you’ve had enough
Eb                           
(And now you’ll turn your eyes 
              Ab
towards the screen)
Eb                                
See, all the limits of the 
   Ab        Db
televised have gone erratic
Eb                        Abm
(And now you’ll turn your eyes and 
scream)

   Ebm Ab   Db Abm
I’m already here
For you to see, for you to see, I 
        Dbm
see you
Abm  Ebm Abm     Dbm
I’ve always been here
Ebm             Eb              
For you to see, for you to see, I

see you
