Intro:  Am   Em   Dm   Amx2
  AmBrother you look like the Taj MaEmhal
One colossal dome above you and the Dmsmell of something other
A pillar and a scimiAmtar, a little...
  AmYes I miss you like a formless Emhide
Stretching over me and dangled from the Dmcoastguard in a chopper
The scaffold of me all Amawry, a little...
  AmBroke your shoulder on the library Emsteps
Hanging round there in the dark just doing Dmnothing or whatever
What do you mean you saw the Amstars? You little...
  AmAnd I could write it in a murder Emfont
I could say it in a way that would be Dmlying or whatever
I don't want them to tell us Amapart!
  EbYou say that I'm an overlord?Gm  
I've got myself a fire Bbhydrant, with more tyrant, in Dwatery blasts, than all of my past! 
  EbYou seen me on the bridge a lotGm  
But I never leapt Bbover, the pent upper
My Dnumber is up, my number is up
But infinite and Ebjoyless little high fives are singing "praise the lord"Gm  
and "pitter patter this Bbschooling? Is this schooling?" and "Dyou matter not, and you matter not"
And is it, the Ebflogging of the Flintstone that I'm supposed to Gmbe?
The cerebellum get Bbschoolin', and no schoolin', Dthe drummer goes on, the drama goes on
  AmAnd I don't wanna make a Emscene
I don't wanna think about the 3rd world Dmhunger or whatever
'Cause thinking always comes acAmross a little...
  AmThere's a meeting of the worlds Emtonight
Right above my head a miracle the Dmsun erupt forever
I barely ever raise my Ameyes a little...
(Teach him how to hold!)
  AmAnd oh, I wanna make the Empeace
And god, I gotta be on the Dmtrain past the ruins the wall and the druids
Oh, Amplease
  AmI'm whining like a braking Embus
Maybe I can sit here and do nothing Dmclever with a laser
I'm not about to open Amup!
  EbYou say that I'm an overlord?Gm  
I've got myself a fire Bbhydrant, with more tyrant, in Dwatery blasts, than all of my past!
  EbYou seen me on the bridge a lotGm

Am Em Dm Am

Intro: x2

Am Em

Brother you look like the Taj Mahal

One colossal dome above you and the smell of something other

A pillar and a scimitar, a little...

Am Em

Yes I miss you like a formless hide

Stretching over me and dangled from the coastguard in a chopper

The scaffold of me all awry, a little...

Am Em

Broke your shoulder on the library steps

Hanging round there in the dark just doing nothing or whatever

What do you mean you saw the stars? You little...

Am Em

And I could write it in a murder font

I could say it in a way that would be lying or whatever

I don't want them to tell us apart!

Eb Gm

You say that I'm an overlord?

Bb D

I've got myself a fire hydrant, with more tyrant, in watery blasts, than all of my past!

Eb Gm

You seen me on the bridge a lot

But I never leapt over, the pent upper

My number is up, my number is up

Eb Gm

But infinite and joyless little high fives are singing "praise the lord"

Bb D

and "pitter patter this schooling? Is this schooling?" and "you matter not, and you matter not"

Eb Gm

And is it, the flogging of the Flintstone that I'm supposed to be?

Bb D

The cerebellum get schoolin', and no schoolin', the drummer goes on, the drama goes on

Am Em

And I don't wanna make a scene

I don't wanna think about the 3rd world hunger or whatever

'Cause thinking always comes across a little...

Am Em

There's a meeting of the worlds tonight

Right above my head a miracle the sun erupt forever

I barely ever raise my eyes a little...

(Teach him how to hold!)

Am Em

And oh, I wanna make the peace

And god, I gotta be on the train past the ruins the wall and the druids

Oh, please

Am Em

I'm whining like a braking bus

Maybe I can sit here and do nothing clever with a laser

I'm not about to open up!

Eb Gm

You say that I'm an overlord?

Bb D

I've got myself a fire hydrant, with more tyrant, in watery blasts, than all of my past!

Eb Gm

You seen me on the bridge a lot

But I never leapt over, the pent upper

My number is up, my number is up

Eb Gm

But infinite and joyless little high fives are singing "praise the lord"

Bb D

and "pitter patter this schooling? Is this schooling?" and "you matter not, and you matter not"

Eb Gm

And is it, the flogging of the Flintstone that I'm supposed to be?

Bb D

The cerebellum get schoolin', and no schoolin', the drummer goes on, the drama goes on

The drummer goes on, the drama goes on

My number is up, my number is up

Em Bm Am Em
