A C#m Now the radio stutters. snaps to life. F#m E D Some sour song that sets it right. A D And when London falls A D /| He'd like to call/ | A | But the stars collide.
__|C#m F#m E D They're beautiful and much maligned. A D A D In a universe where you see the worst, E And it's up to you to fix it.E D A Now you've worked it out E And you see it all
__ D A | | And you've worked it out / E/ And you see it all |
__| D A And you want to shout E D C#m A F# 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 | |
And you've worked it out /And you see it all/And you want to shout |
__|
How you see it allBm DBm DC#m ANow 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 want to shout /How you see it all/How you've worked it out |
__|
And you see it all
How you've worked it out
And you see it all
