Em Am All hell's crashing down inside B7 The windows to the other side Em B7 Shimmering in rooms to quiet sighs of Am Am 'Oh well if it's happening there B7 It isn't here', and god appears to deal Em B7 A different hand to different tiers Dm G C C/B But this play is not over yet Am G Hear the music of those marionettes F Beating drums down the quiet streets B7 Of ignorance and vain regrets solo: Em Am B7 Em B7 Em Am And all these fears swiftly come to pass B7 Presently she feels we're past Em B7 Cups of tea and optimistic prayers Em Am Cos out there's our unholy mess B7 Gathering its long white dress Em B7 And marching down aisle to marry this Dm G C C/B Matrimonial future bliss Am G Kiss the tide and hope it doesn't lift up your F B7 Carpet woven from apathy and token frets All Hell! Dm G C C/B But this play is not over yet Am G Hear the music of those marionettes F Beating drums down the quiet streets B7 Of ignorance and vain regrets
