[Verse 1]

Am                       D/F#
What do you see with the eyes in 
your head?
C                    B7
Pitiful struggle, or are you 
content?
Am                 C             
Fear and anger so garishly 
    D                          E
clothed, resignation and ignorance 
tied up in bows
Am                     C
A king to a pauper, a sad wizened 
clown
D                       E
A joke an a punchline, people all 
round
Am                      C
Rose-tinted glasses and no-one is 
sane
D                         E
A big waltzing blindfold, we are 
what we play
Am                       Am7
We are what we play, and nothing is 
sane

[Verse 2]

Am                       D/F#
What can he hear with his ears in 
his hands?
C                         B7
Her silently weeping, his head in 
the sand
Am                 C             
Patiently lurking in water in 
    D                            E
wine, he'll drown by her tears, or 
choke on his time
Am                            C
For what we've forsaken and taken 
too soon
D                               
Before murdering old mother, we'd 
   E
dance on the moon
Am                    C          
Deaf to the thunder that silently
               D                 
 cracks, we're holding our breath 
            E
until her collapse

[Verse 3]

Am                         D/F#
What do you feel with your heart in 
your chest?
      C                     B7
Some few thousand years, could soon 
come to rest
    Am                       C
Do you feel the butcher? The bullet 
that bores
D                          E
With corkscrewing chaos and mighty a
 roar

Am                        D/F#
What do you feel with your heart in 
your chest?
      C                        B7
Some few thousand years could soon 
come to rest
       Am                        C
On the shoulders of man and his bag 
full of bombs
    D                         E
Bell tolling destruction our final 
swan song
