[Verse 1]
G             G/D  D
  Wake up you sleepy head
Esus4                      Em
Put on some clothes, shake off your bed
G                      D
Put another log on the fire for me
A                            E
I've made some breakfast and coffee
G                   D
Look out my window, what do I see
  B/D#                   Em        G7/F      C/E
A crack in the sky and a hand reaching down to me
        A7/E              D7
All the nightmares came today

And it looks as though they're here to stay
[Verse 2]
G             G/D  D
  What are we coming to
Esus4              Em
No room for me, no fun for you
G                 D
  I think about a world to come
          A                       E
Where the books were found by the Golden Ones
G                D
Written in pain, written in awe
     B/D#            Em         G7/F     C/E
By a puzzled man who questioned what we were here for
        A7/E             D7
All the strangers came today
                                G
And it looks as though they're here to stay
[Chorus]
G      Bm/F#         Em7
Oh you pretty things
          G7/D                     C                  G
Don't you know you're driving your mamas and papas insane?

Look out at your children
Esus4               Em
See their faces in golden rays
G                          D
 Don't kid yourself they belong to you
A                          E
  They're the start of the coming race
    G                       D
The earth is a bitch, we've finished our news
B/D#            Em      G7/F        C/E
  Homo sapiens have outgrown their use
        A7/E             D7
All the strangers came today
