C G

Intro (Eef uses many hammer-ons on the D and A string, its easiest to listen because

they change throughout the song)

C G

When it finally collapsed all you heard was the radio static

C G

And the fluttering sound of a bird that was trapped in the attic

Am C G

But you couldn't be sure that it wasn't just all in your head

D7 G

As you carefully swept all the broken glass out of your bed

C G

When it finally collapsed all the actors were hotly protested

C G

But the people they had to portray, were a little depressing

Am C G

So a grass roots initiative based upon sharing and trust

D7 G

Went into production to harness the power of dust

(Under solo, same as verses)

C G

Am C G

D7 G

C G

When it finally collapsed as it had been since way before when

C G

The pedophiles did their rendition of You ve Got A Friend

Am C G

And everyone had to admit that it wasn't half bad

D7 G

But they still felt uneasy fearing they'd be dismissed as a fad

C G

When it finally collapsed giant billboards made people aware

C G

Of the idea that we are comprised of just water and air

Am C G

And a vandal had written that Jesus knows just how you feel

D7 G

When you're falling asleep, asleep at the wheel

D7 G

When you're falling asleep, asleep at the wheel
