R.e.m - Departureadd

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