Standard Tuning


Intro:
C  Em  C  Em


Verse:
C       Em
My TV's staring at me

        C             Em
It says 'go to sleep, go to sleep'

C               Em
Turns me into a Siamese twin

      C
Where do I start

    Em
The TV screen begins

C                  Em
Plugs me into some holy geek

    C                Em
His point in life is incomplete

C        Em              C               Em
My TV is telling me that only money will make me happy


Pre-Chorus:
C                        Em     Am    F
Hold the course and then sail

C                        Em     Am    F
Hold the course and then sail


Chorus:
           C
Across the satellite beams

           Em
Across the oceans and seas

           Am             F
To the lighthouse I could be

           C
I see some soldiers with guns

           Em
And they are killing for fun

         Am                   F
They are killing to entertain me


Verse:
C                   Em
Caught between that world and this

    C                  Em
I'd sell my soul for a Bond girl's kiss

C                   Em
Caught between that world and this

    C                  Em
I'd sell my soul for a state of bliss

C       Em              C                  Em
My TV's telling me that all our money goes into the military

Pre-Chorus:
C                        Em      Am   F
Hold the course and then sail

C                        Em      Am   F
Hold the course and then sail


Chorus:
           C
Across the satellite beams

           G
Across the oceans or seas

       Am                 F
to the lighthouse I could be

           C
I see some soldiers with guns

             G
And they are killing for fun

          Am                 F
They were dying to entertain me


           C
And then I heard your name

       G
As the spaceman came

   Am                    F
He came right through my screen

             C
And then his lifeline broke

     G
He began to choke

     Am             F
Jump cut to another scene 

C                   G                  Am                F
(Your health taken, your health taken, your health taken away)

We lost a friend to the sea

C                   G                 Am                F
(Your health taken, your health taken, your health taken away)

We lost a friend to the sea

C                   G                 Am                F
(Your health taken, your health taken, your health taken away)

We lost a friend to the sea

C                   G                 Am                F
(Your health taken, your health taken, your health taken away)
