Intro - Am  
AmIn silence we shall sit
EContemplating everything
The world and how we came to be
Alone aboard the aAmrk
The same thoughts every night
EBathed in cold fluorescent light
If this is it then what a ride,
Wake me when it's tAmhrough.
To Dmhave it all and seize the Eday.
To Amgo where no one else dare Dmstray
FEorever shaAmll we wait
In Amlight of developments
EI suggest we start again
The 9 to 5 the 6 to 10 have
Swallowed ever Amurge
And it makes no difference
EWhen all your money goes on rent
The never ending arguments 
To be put off and Amon
To Dmhave a place to call our Eown
To Amshun the old familiar rDmoad
FEorever shalAml we wait
These arms are Amheavy
These feet are Eraw
I cannot walk
But I can crAmawl
Into the Dmarms of another MEonster

My Ammind set on the blink
EA missive from the kitchen sink
Regret the days you didn't glimpse
A spark amid the Ammire
Invading every scene
EWelcome to the working week
A place to hide until we leave
To dream perchance to Amsleep
To Dmgrease the corridors of Eyouth
I Amlet them tell me what to Dmdo.
I Ewon't do that Amagain.

Intro -

In silence we shall sit

Contemplating everything

The world and how we came to be

Alone aboard the ark

The same thoughts every night

Bathed in cold fluorescent light

If this is it then what a ride,

Wake me when it's through.

Dm E

To have it all and seize the day.

Am Dm

To go where no one else dare stray

E Am

Forever shall we wait

In light of developments

I suggest we start again

The 9 to 5 the 6 to 10 have

Swallowed ever urge

And it makes no difference

When all your money goes on rent

The never ending arguments

To be put off and on

Dm E

To have a place to call our own

Am Dm

To shun the old familiar road

E Am

Forever shall we wait

These arms are heavy

These feet are raw

I cannot walk

But I can crawl

Dm E

Into the arms of another Monster

A D G C E Am

Lurking somewhere deep inside

My mind set on the blink

A missive from the kitchen sink

Regret the days you didn't glimpse

A spark amid the mire

Invading every scene

Welcome to the working week

A place to hide until we leave

To dream perchance to sleep

Dm E

To grease the corridors of youth

Am Dm

I let them tell me what to do.

E Am

I won't do that again.

These arms are heavy

These feet are raw

I cannot walk

But I can crawl

Dm E

Into the arms of another monster

A D G C E

Lurking somewhere deep inside

Am Am7 D9 E

Deep inside,

Am Am7 D9 E

Deep inside,

Am Am7 D9 F7 Am E Am E Am

*E E*

Deep Inside. *Strum Fast*
