[Intro]
G    F#m    F    Em  A
G    F#m    F    Em  A
[Verse]
GYou're going out broadcasting my F#mname
Did god not furnish you with Fbrains?
If they are there they're there Emtherefore
Their silence Amay be called for
GIf they are there they're there and F#mmute
So maybe we should follow Fsuit
They might know something that we Emdon't
Something our Apride is hiding
GI ain't laying claim to sanF#mity
I'm talking more about vaniFty
If there were mirrors in the Emsky
Well then we'd Ashut down SETI
[Chorus]
CThere is a wilderness more Dwild
CThan anything you can concDeive
G#mStraight way up 70 Dmiles
G#mSilence is eterniDty
[Verse]
GIt's not that they could be our F#mkings
It's more about fuck ups like NaFnjing
Do we need an overlEmord
That finds us Aunderwhelming?
GYou don't defend your house and F#mhome
By jumping down a rabbit Fhole
You can't defend the open Emsky
Let alAone our actions
GAnd all that talk about ET being advF#manced
Would only mean he wears the Fpants
High tech don't mean higher moral Emstandards man
That's Akind of racist
GYou're thinking like they're coming to us to lF#mearn
You think maybe they haven't Fheard?
They might be little, might be Emgreen
But hardly Agreen with envy
[Chorus]
CThere is a wilderness more Dwild
CThan anything you can concDeive
G#mStraight way up 70 Dmiles
G#mSilence is eterniDty
CThere's a wilderness so Dwild
CYou don't want anybody Dseeing
G#mEspecially those who seem to Dknow
G#mWhat we are willing to fDorgive
[Outro]
A    F#m Am     A    F#m Am

[Intro]

G F#m F Em A

[Verse]

G F#m

You're going out broadcasting my name

Did god not furnish you with brains?

If they are there they're there therefore

Their silence may be called for

G F#m

If they are there they're there and mute

So maybe we should follow suit

They might know something that we don't

Something our pride is hiding

G F#m

I ain't laying claim to sanity

I'm talking more about vanity

If there were mirrors in the sky

Well then we'd shut down SETI

[Chorus]

C D

There is a wilderness more wild

C D

Than anything you can conceive

G#m D

Straight way up 70 miles

G#m D

Silence is eternity

[Verse]

G F#m

It's not that they could be our kings

It's more about fuck ups like Nanjing

Do we need an overlord

That finds us underwhelming?

G F#m

You don't defend your house and home

By jumping down a rabbit hole

You can't defend the open sky

Let alone our actions

G F#m

And all that talk about ET being advanced

Would only mean he wears the pants

High tech don't mean higher moral standards man

That's kind of racist

G F#m

You're thinking like they're coming to us to learn

You think maybe they haven't heard?

They might be little, might be green

But hardly green with envy

[Chorus]

C D

There is a wilderness more wild

C D

Than anything you can conceive

G#m D

Straight way up 70 miles

G#m D

Silence is eternity

C D

There's a wilderness so wild

C D

You don't want anybody seeing

G#m D

Especially those who seem to know

G#m D

What we are willing to forgive

[Outro]

A F#m Am A F#m Am
