   Now the radio stutters. snaps to life.
         Dm   C         A#
   Some sour song that sets it right.
             F      A#
   And when London falls

   How you see it all

It's easy to dismiss the 'what's it all about' crowd.
There is no doubt. it's this, here, now.
And you close your eyes.
 /|
He's not coming back.
/ |
So you work it out, overfeed the cat.
  |
And the plants are dry and they need to drink.
__|
So you do your best. and you flood the sink.
Sit down in the kitchen and cry.

Now you've worked it out
__
And you see it all                                                             |

How you see it all

Gm A#
Gm A#
Am F

Now the universe left you for a runners lap.
It feels like home when it comes crashing back.
And it makes you laugh
And it makes you cry,
 /|
When London falls
/ |
And you're still alive.
  |
The radio stutters,
__|
It makes you laugh
And the aftermath,
Open up your eyes.
You're so alive.

Now you've worked it out
And you see it all
And you've worked it out
__
And you see it all                                                             |

And you see it all
How you've worked it out

A                          E        riff
Postcard stowaway within
A                        E        riff
Pristine indigo without
A         E                        riff
Banded attoman as such
A                        E        riff
Sofa seated one too much

D                E        D                E        D        E        D        E        riff

Conductor looks up, thinks
E                                         C#m
out and down hands, stuck to the left
E                                 C#m
to the right, you should fall,
E                                        C#m        riff
the horses just don't gossip anymore
