[Verse 1]
G#m A G#m
I think it's fair to say that I chose hopelessness
E
And inflicted it on the rest of us
C#m G#m F#m A
But at least I've come to terms with my own mortality
C#m
We search for different ways
E
To make it through the wall
G#m A B
Resign our parents' interests
Will one day be our own
[Chorus]
E
Oh, we wait at ease, oh, we wait to see
E A
Oh, we are waiting here for catastrophe
E
Oh, we wait at ease, oh, we wait to see
E A
Oh, we are waiting here for catastrophe
[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
G#m A
The guy singing all the sad songs died
G#m
Oh well, I guess he was right
E
Oh, I guess he was right
F#m C#m
We learn together over time
G#m F#m A
That tolerance is more appealing
E C#m
In theory than in practice
E
I identify my star sign
A C#m B
By asking which is least compatible with yours
[Chorus]
E
Oh, we wait at ease, oh, we wait to see
E A
Oh, we are waiting here for catastrophe
E
Oh, we wait at ease, oh, we wait to see
E A
Oh, we are waiting here for catastrophe
[Interlude]

[Bridge]
C#m
And a room full of vacuum
A E
And a room full of air look the same
C#m A
You have not been reborn
C#m B
They've just painted your face, painted the walls
[Verse 3]
A E
Message sent to so far unreached peoples
A
I think they've got it in for us
E
I think they've got it in for us
A E
How you break the rules that you yourself imposed
C#m
Think you've got it in for us
F#m B
I think you've got it in for yourselves
[Chorus]
E
Oh, we wait at ease, oh, we wait to see
E A
Oh, we are waiting here for catastrophe
E
Oh, we wait at ease, oh, we wait to see
E A E
Oh, we are waiting here for catastrophe
[Bridge]
C#m
And a room full of vacuum
A E
And a room full of air look the same
C#m A
You have not been reborn
C#m E C#m E
They've just painted your face, painted the walls
[Outro]
C#m E C#m E
Painted your face, painted the walls
| C#m | C#m | E | E | x2
C#m E A
Painted your face, painted the walls
E
Painted your face
