Note:
If you are playing along with the live versions, the live has it
all down a step, so instead of E, they would play D and so on.
[Intro]
B B F# F# B B F# F# Em F# G A B
[Verse]
Em F#
What shall we use
G F# Em
to fill the empty spaces
F# G F#
where, we used to talk?
Em F# G F#
How shall I fill the final spaces
Em F# G F#
how shall I complete the wall?
(alternate verse)
What shall we use to fill the empty spaces,
where waves of hunger roar, shall we set out
across this sea of faces, in search of more,
and more applause?
E2 B2
Shall we buy a new guitar?
E2 B2
Shall we drive a more powerful car?
E2 B2
Shall we work straight through the night?
E2
Shall be get into fights?
F#2
Leave the lights on?
Drop bombs?
G2
Do tours of the east?
F#2
Contract deseases?
E2 F#2
Bury bones? Break up homes? Send flowers by phone?
G2 F#2
Take to drink? Go to shrinks? Give up meat? Rarely sleep?
E2 F#2 G2
Keep people as pets? Train dogs, raise rats? Fill the attic with cash?
F#2 E2
Bury treasure, store up leisure but never relax at all?
E2
With our backs to the wall.
