[Intro]

Bm7   F#m7 

verse 1 

E     Em 
Electric cables 
B     Bm 
Beneath the Atlantic 
E     Em 
There's a radar 
B     Bm 
Beneath the black water 
E     Em 
Rain flecks the paint 
B     Bm 
Inevitably 
E     Em 
At the end of the telescope 
B 
By the pier 

Pre-Chorus 

Am                          Em 
I know you'd rather I didn't say 
                            Am 
That I want to look after you 
                            Em 
But I'd expect you to say the same 

For me someday 
D   A                    Bm 
This knowledge gives me no pleasure 
D   A                    Bm 
You can't kill yourself before you're born 

[Refrão]

Chorus 

Bm7                      F#m7 
Particles like Russian dolls 
Bm7                      F#m7 
Folding items ever smaller 

verse 2 

E     Em 
Grey wire fences 
B     Bm 
Section off the wilderness 
E     Em          B                 Bm 
A lonely cluster of woodland stands apart 
E     Em 
Like the fingers of a hand 
B     Bm 
Gently browning 
E     Em 
Flat sections of cheap paint 
B     Bm 
Float by like butterflies 

Pre-Chorus 

Am                          Em 
I know you'd rather I didn't say 
                            Am 
That I want to look after you 
                            Em 
But I'd expect you to say the same 

For me someday 

D   A                 Bm 
My demeanour is made to measure 
D      A                Bm 
Nothing stirs beneath the farce of daily life 


[Refrão]
Chorus 

Bm7                      F#m7 
Particles like Russian dolls 
Bm7                      F#m7 
Folding items ever smaller 
Bm7                      F#m7 
If life never ended we'd have no urgency 
Bm7                      F#m7 
Connect to boredom and repetition
