R.e.m - Beat Drumadd

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