[Verse]
AmThese are only Cwords
And Amartificial tonEmes
AmWe're just skin-and-bones playing Amtelephone with things
Probably Emnever said at Gall
This Amworld is stitched with sEmchemes
EmWhere once, there was realityG  
It's Amhard to reach across the unbelFievable disFtances
Between wAmhat we really are and who we clEmaim to beEm  
And the Amirony enginAme isn't Glost on FmeF  
The shame is Amthat we saw it Emcoming
In the faces of the Emyoung among us
In Ccrayon-and-paper drawings
The Cclearest writing on the wall we could ever Amask for
What do Amthey believe?G  
Where are all their Amfathers?
AmWhere are all their Emmothers?
Who Gleft them there alone
With Fthe television remote like some Philosopher's StoneG  
"GFigure it out on your own, Amchild."Em  
If I still have Amanything to sayAm  
AmI'll try to make it Emplain
ContGrivance is a luxury FI don't have
In the time that's left Fbefore the madness overEmtakes me
I'm a Cvoice among the CvoicesC  
The Emroar of whisperEms closes inEm  
And the Ampoint seems to be Fpointless
  EmAnd I've forEmgotten who I Amam...
And GI've forgotten Emwho I Amam...G  
EmThese are only Amwords...
EmArtificial Amtones...
EmThese are only Amwords...
EmThese are only Amwords...

[Verse]

Am C

These are only words

Am Em

And artificial tones

Am Am

We're just skin-and-bones playing telephone with things

Em G

Probably never said at all

Am Em

This world is stitched with schemes

Em G

Where once, there was reality

Am F F

It's hard to reach across the unbelievable distances

Am Em Em

Between what we really are and who we claim to be

Am Am G F F

And the irony engine isn't lost on me

Am Em

The shame is that we saw it coming

In the faces of the young among us

In crayon-and-paper drawings

C Am

The clearest writing on the wall we could ever ask for

Am G

What do they believe?

Where are all their fathers?

Am Em

Where are all their mothers?

Who left them there alone

F G

With the television remote like some Philosopher's Stone

G Am Em

"Figure it out on your own, child."

Am Am

If I still have anything to say

Am Em

I'll try to make it plain

G F

Contrivance is a luxury I don't have

F Em

In the time that's left before the madness overtakes me

C C C

I'm a voice among the voices

Em Em Em

The roar of whispers closes in

Am F

And the point seems to be pointless

Em Em Am

And I've forgotten who I am...

G Em Am G

And I've forgotten who I am...

Em Am

These are only words...

Em Am

Artificial tones...

Em Am

These are only words...

Em Am

These are only words...
