[Verse]
                C                A5       Em*
He's pleased to meet you underneath the horse
                C                A5       Em*
In the cathedral with the glass stained black
         C                      A5   Em*
Singing sweet, high notes that echo back

[Bridge 1]

May be a long time 'til you get the call-up
          C                 A5          C/B
But it's sure as fate and hard as your luck

[Bridge 2]

Am              G#5           Gm*  N.C

              C     D      F           C
I'm running speed trials standing in place

[Verse]
          C               A5    C/B
When the socket's not a shock enough
           C                       A5           C/B
You little child, what makes you think you're tough?
              C                 A5     C/B        
When all the people you think you're above

[Verse]
                C                    A5    C/B
You're such a pinball yeah, you know it's true
                 C                    A5     C/B
There's always something you go back running to

[Bridge 2]
Am                 G#5     Gm*          N.C

I'm running speed trials all over the place
