[Intro]

[Verse 1]

F C

I was mothered like an orchid tethered to eternal sights

F C

I hurried home in orbit close to where I know I'm fine

F Am

No edge of the seat, no arms ever broken, you see

[Chorus]

I waited for the crash to come

Too many days with too little to do

I waited but nothing came at all

So many days spent in empty rooms

F C

[Verse 2]

F C

The little drum inside behaves itself until you turn 25

F C

And then it strikes this all we've lived this long and only ever half alive

[Chorus]

I waited for the crash to come

Too many days with too little to do

I waited but nothing came at all

So many days spent in empty rooms

It's too late for a wasted youth

All quiet on the Eastern Front and we dare not move

It's too late to wage a war

It's all quiet on the Eastern Front and we all are bored
