D                       A 
pale white moon shines down on colorado 
Em    
hide my dirty secrets 
G 
down here in the shadows 
D 
where the quaking aspens 
A 
tremble in the snow 
Em 
haul me up the hillside 
        G 
hold me high and let me go 

       C                                    D 
let me fall down through my own roof like a meteorite 
        Em                                 G 
let the world and all its wonders leave me to my toys tonight 
             D        G 
and my ninty-six inch television screen 
        D 
let me die. 
        A  G                   D 
let me die surrounded by machines.

D                      A 
high winds knocked the power out last night 
Em 
but I've got my own supply here 
G 
all my windows blaze with light 
D                                         
and the light spills through the windows  
A 
to the empty plain below 
Em 
finds nothing but some trees  
    G 
and six fresh feet of snow 

      C                                      D 
and I find a broadcast station that's signed off for the night 
        Em                            G 
and the static floods the speakers in glorious black and white 
             D        G 
on my ninty-six inch television screen 
        D 
let me die. 
        A  G                   D 
let me die surrounded by machines.
