(the vacuum...)
A D E A
The vacuum created by the arrival of freedom
A F#m E D
And the possibilities it seems to offer
A D E A
It's got nothing to do with you, if one can grasp it
A F#m E D
It's got nothing to do with you, if one can grasp it
A D E A
A series of shocks - sneakers fall apart
A F#m E D
Earth keeps on rolling - witnesses falling
A D E A
It's got nothing to do with you, if one can grasp it
A F#m E D
It's got nothing to do with you, if one can grasp it
D
Yeah, yeah, yeah - up the hill backwards
E D A
It'll be alright ooo-ooo

While we sleep they go to work
A F#m E D
We're legally crippled it's the death of love
A D E A
It's got nothing to do with you, if one can grasp it
A F#m E D
It's got nothing to do with you, if one can grasp it
A D E A
More idols then realities ooo-ooo
A F#m E D
I'm OK, you're so-so ooo-ooo
D
Yeah, yeah, yeah - up the hill backwards
E D E A
It'll be alright ooo-ooo
