[Verse 1]
               F                    Am
Now the radio stutters snaps to life
Dm               C                  Bb
Some sour song that sets it right
                    F          Bb
And when London falls
          F          Bb
He'd like to call
                 F            Am
But the stars collide
        Dm         C                 Bb
They're beautiful and much maligned
         F            Bb          F             Bb
In a universe where you see the worst
           C
And it's up to you to fix it

[Chorus]
              Bb                  F
Now you've worked it out
               C
And you see it all
              Bb                  F
Now you've worked it out
               C
And you see it all
              Bb               F
And you want to shout
                      C
How you see it all

[Verse 2]
       F                                    Am
It's easy to dismiss the "what's it all about" crowd
Dm                 C               Bb
There is no doubt it's this, here, now
               F               Bb
And you close your eyes
         F             Bb
He's not coming back
                     F                    Am
So you've worked it out, overfeed the cat
                Dm        C                  Bb
And the plants are dry and they need to drink

   F                   Bb                  F             Bb
So you do your best and you flood the sink
           C
Sit down in the kitchen and cry

[Chorus]
              Bb                  F
Now you've worked it out
               C
And you see it all
              Bb                  F
Now you've worked it out
               C
And you see it all
             Bb                 F
And you want to shout
               C
How you see it all

[Bridge]
Eb - Bb - Eb - Bb - Am- F

              F                            Am
Now the universe left you for a runner lap
Dm                C                                Bb
It feels like home when it comes crushing back
             F               Bb
And it makes you laugh
             F               Bb
And it makes you cry
             F
When London falls
                    Am
And you are still alive
   Dm            C
The radio stutters
       Bb
It makes you laugh
             F           Bb
And the aftermath
              F           Bb
Open up your eyes
             C
You are so alive

[Chorus]
              Bb                  F
Now you've worked it out
               C
And you see it all
              Bb                  F
Now you've worked it out
               C
And you see it all
             Bb               F
And you want to shout
               C
How you see it all
