[Verse]
                Am                        AmMaj7/F#
Took the fireworks and the vanity
        F                                C
The circuit board and the city streets
F                                   C
Shooting star, swaying palm tree
G                                 Am
Laid it at the Arbiter's feet

[Verse]
                Am                                         AmMaj7/F#
If I could change my mind, change the paradigm
F                             C
Prepare myself for another life
F                                  C
Forgive myself for the many times
          G                                                 Am
I was cruel to something helpless and weak

[Chorus]
       F                            G
But here it come, that heavy love
       C                                Am
I’m never gonna move it alone
F                            G
Here it come, that heavy love
C                                Am
Tag it on a tenement wall
F                            G
Here it come, that heavy love
E7/G#                                     Am
Someone's gotta share in the load
F                           G
Here it come that heavy love
       F                    G          C5 G5 F5 E5
I’m never gonna move it alone

Am C F C F Am G

[Verse]
          Am
I was dressed in white
                    AmMaj7/F#
Touched by something pure
F                                  C
Death obsessed like a teenager
              F                                      C
Sold my tortured youth, piss and vinegar
             G                                     Am
I’m still angry with no reason to be

[Verse]
           Am                  AmMaj7/F#
At the architect who imagined this
             F                               C
For the every-man, blessed Sisyphus
               F                   C
Slipping steadily into madness
          G                                        Am
Now that's the only place to be free

[Ulangi Chorus]

Am C F C F Am G

[Bridge]
      Am       E           C
No I don’t want to play
         F        C                F        G
It’s a shell game, it’s a shell game.

[Verse]
Am                            AmMaj7/F#
Distorted sounds on oscilloscopes
F                                  C
Distorted facts I could never cope
       F                         C
My private life is an inside joke
G                                     Am
No one will explain it to me

[Verse]
               Am                          AmMaj7/F#
Will it be everything that we ever need
F                         C
Everyone on the count of three,
F                         C
Everyone on the count of three
       G
All together now.

[Ulangi Chorus]
