Intro x2 - then play chords
D Riff 1 D Riff 1
The pendulum swings, for the horse like a man
D Riff 1 D Riff 1
Out over the rim, is ice cream to him
D Riff 2 G* C* Riff 3
The beautiful lull, the dangerous tug
D Riff 2 G* C* Riff 3 D
we get to feel small, but not out of place at all
D Riff 1 D Riff 1
We're forced to bed, but we're free to dream
D Riff 1 D Riff 1
All us human extras, all us herded beings
D Riff 2 G* C* Riff 3
And after a glimpse, over the top
D Riff 2 G* C* Riff 3 D
The rest of the world, becomes a gift shop
SOLO **BREAK**

I don't know what to believe, sometimes I even forget
D Riff 1 D Riff 1
And if it's a lie, terrorists made me say it
D Riff 2 G* C* Riff 3
The beautiful lull, the dangerous tug
D Riff 2 G* C* Riff 3
We get to feel small, from high up above
D Riff 2 G* C* Riff 3
From high up above, from high up above
D Riff 2 G* C* Riff 3
From high up above, from high up above
