Floreat Inertia

(intro B E B E, B E B E)
           B                       E      B              E
I could be tugging on the beard of science like a cheeky schoolboy
B                 E        B                            E
But I couldn't be bothered, thats why I'm still in the box room
B                E          B            E
Face down in the last ditch, my natural home
B        E    B                  E        E B C#m A (x2)
I can do that but I don't really want to.
      E              B
Oh, I used to cajole Gordon Giltrap
  C#m                   A
I used to think that it mattered
        E                B
But the low drone of the treadmill
Continues after the ad
       C#m                     A         B E B E (x2)
Is the sound of my hopes being shattered.
            B                      E          B                   E
I should be standing in a chaos of sunflowers, with a girl from Machynlleth
B                   E              B                   E
But I'm down at the children's zoo, kicking off on the goats.
B          E     B            E
Increasing doubt, decreasing hope
B        E               B                    E      E B C#m A (x2)
Even my imaginary friend went and changed his mind.

Oh, I used to cajole Gordon Giltrap
  C#m                   A
I used to think that it mattered

But the low drone of the treadmill
       C#m                      A
Is the sound of my hopes being  shattered.
      E                 B
Oh, I turned my back on Nazareth
  C#m                   A
I used to think that it mattered
        E                B
But the low drone of the treadmill
       C#m                      A           (B E B E rpt) C#m
Is the sound of my hopes being  shattered.
