*this is played kinda "sloppy" and (obviously) with a good bit of distortion

alot like his sound)

Verse 1:
F#
It's a beautiful world but everyone's insane
Bm
Either you swim or either you fade
F#
It's a revolution time we're sleeping at the wheel
Bm
Apocalypse child in a nuclear field
F#
We want to change the world but not what holds us back
Bm
I want to be for you what I've never had
A F# Bm
And all of this time I was just trying to reach you
G A
Through the rain traffic
D Bm
As you float into space
D Bm
Your white eyes hide your face
D Bm D
As you float in between - I am with you
Bm F# Bm
If you leave
F#
Fragile to the waves - vicissitude of days
Bm
When I am with you I feel a little brave
F#
The madness and the wars the circle that we run
Bm
Confusion we import look what we have become
A F# Bm
And all of this time I was just trying to reach you
G A
Through the rain traffic
D Bm
As you float into space
D Bm
You white eyes hide you face
D Bm D
As you float in between - I die with you
B D
If you leave - as you float
(sorry, don't know the solo, but I think what he's doing is play either the
6th or 5th or both strings open and moving up and down the 4th one, or
something like that)
D Bm
As you float into space
D Bm
You white eyes hide you face
D Bm D
As you float in between - I die with you
Bm D Bm D Bm
If you leave - as you flooooooooooat
D Bm D Bm
D~
I die with you I die with you I die with you
*As with just about all Bush songs, Nigel's "texture" he adds to song
is all over the place... let me put it this way:
crapload of work + me = ain't gonna happen
...anyway, have fun
