[Verse 1]
    Eb            Ab
The apocalypse is incoming
     Db              Fm
Only moving slow and unevenly
    Eb            Ab
The empire builder returning east
         Db                 
Like the rising blade of the 
 Fm
guillotine

    Eb           Ab
And North Dakota metastasizing
    Db                 Fm
The oil shales and the entropy
        Eb                  Ab
And the waves of darkness fold over 
me
        Db       Fm
As the dying sun goes down

[Verse 2]
       Eb                Ab
In the dining car in my assigned 
seat
      Db                       Fm
My neighbor's conversation's turning
 ugly

  Eb               Ab
A labyrinth of conspiracies
        Db                 Fm
Proving he is good and he's got 
enemies

          Eb                  
And tiny points of light I see 
   Ab
haphazardly
          Db                     
Scattered in the void like so much 
Fm
bird feed
      Eb        Ab
And I hope it's enough

[Verse 3]
    Eb              Ab
An empty hallway, a phone ringing
        Db                  
It goes on forever, no one's 
 Fm
answering
   Eb                Ab
Concept of God ever slippery
           Db                     
Are you outside of time? Are you in 
Fm
everything?

      Eb              Ab
I'll find the sacred buried in me
                  Db              
And I will cut it out while everyone
Fm
 is watching
        Eb       Ab
It will not be enough

  Bbm                             
I know you're feeling like you're 
Fm
overmatched
         Db                        
Like the world’s against you, like 
    Ab
the deck is stacked
    Bbm                      
But don't get started, you're 
Fm
smarter than that
        Db   Dbm
You and I we both know that

Everybody's angry

Everybody's lonely

And maybe it's hopeless and maybe

Love is not enough
