D Bm

D A

pale white moon shines down on colorado

hide my dirty secrets

down here in the shadows

where the quaking aspens

tremble in the snow

haul me up the hillside

hold me high and let me go

C D

let me fall down through my own roof like a meteorite

Em G

let the world and all its wonders leave me to my toys tonight

D G

and my ninty-six inch television screen

let me die.

A G D

let me die surrounded by machines.

D Bm

D A

high winds knocked the power out last night

but I've got my own supply here

all my windows blaze with light

and the light spills through the windows

to the empty plain below

finds nothing but some trees

and six fresh feet of snow

C D

and I find a broadcast station that's signed off for the night

Em G

and the static floods the speakers in glorious black and white

D G

on my ninty-six inch television screen

let me die.

A G D

let me die surrounded by machines.

D Bm
