[Verse 1]
There are G6buried worlds within us
Rainy Fmaj7nights as black as Guinness
AppaAmritions lodged like D/F#splinters
So G6with thoughts all smudged and beery
Make my Fmaj7way down to Dún Laoghaire
Peek through Amwindows fogged and Gteary
From the Dsus2/F#warmth inside
[Verse 2]
And if G6you can't learn to love it
'Fraid you're Fmaj7gonna have to shove it
Stacked too Amhigh to rise aD/F#bove it
So we're G6kicking o'er the traces
With two Fmaj7fingers to their faces
And proAmceeding on the Gbasis
Of iDsus2/F#nalienable right
[Chorus]
CAnd ain't it obvious
C/BBy   Fmaj7now
DmThere ain't no Gme and you
Never Fmaj7was
CDon't have to be a genius
C/BTo work it Fmaj7out
DmWe're all eGffect without a Fmaj7causeC  
[Verse 3]
Watching G6Oz the great magician
Eyes Fmaj7shut in the brace position
Changed beAmyond all recogD/F#nition
And the G6radius of our footsteps
Spans a Fmaj7world of shattered concepts
Abandoned Ambuildings loom like Gshipwrecks
In the Dsus2/F#ebbing tide
[Chorus]
CAnd ain't it obvious
C/BBy   Fmaj7now
DmThere ain't no Gme and you
Never Fmaj7was
CDon't have to be a genius
C/BTo work it Fmaj7out
DmWe're all eGffect without a Fmaj7cause
CIs it some ridiculous misplaced
C/BSense of Fmaj7pride
DmThat keeps me Ghauling
Fmaj7On the line
CGonna step right out of this
C/BI just can't aFmaj7bide
DmIf I had a Gpound for
Every Fmaj7/Ctime
[Outro]

[Verse 1]

There are buried worlds within us

Fmaj7

Rainy nights as black as Guinness

Am D/F#

Apparitions lodged like splinters

So with thoughts all smudged and beery

Fmaj7

Make my way down to Dún Laoghaire

Am G

Peek through windows fogged and teary

Dsus2/F#

From the warmth inside

[Verse 2]

And if you can't learn to love it

Fmaj7

'Fraid you're gonna have to shove it

Am D/F#

Stacked too high to rise above it

So we're kicking o'er the traces

Fmaj7

With two fingers to their faces

Am G

And proceeding on the basis

Dsus2/F#

Of inalienable right

[Chorus]

And ain't it obvious

C/B Fmaj7

By now

Dm G

There ain't no me and you

Fmaj7

Never was

Don't have to be a genius

C/B Fmaj7

To work it out

Dm G Fmaj7 C

We're all effect without a cause

[Verse 3]

Watching Oz the great magician

Fmaj7

Eyes shut in the brace position

Am D/F#

Changed beyond all recognition

And the radius of our footsteps

Fmaj7

Spans a world of shattered concepts

Am G

Abandoned buildings loom like shipwrecks

Dsus2/F#

In the ebbing tide

[Chorus]

And ain't it obvious

C/B Fmaj7

By now

Dm G

There ain't no me and you

Fmaj7

Never was

Don't have to be a genius

C/B Fmaj7

To work it out

Dm G Fmaj7

We're all effect without a cause

Is it some ridiculous misplaced

C/B Fmaj7

Sense of pride

Dm G

That keeps me hauling

Fmaj7

On the line

Gonna step right out of this

C/B Fmaj7

I just can't abide

Dm G

If I had a pound for

Fmaj7/C

Every time

[Outro]

G6 Fmaj7 Am G Dsus2/F#
