Fills his life with pointless things    And wonders how it all turns

A|-----------------------------------|--------------------------------|
E|-----------------------------------|--------------------------------|

Desperately searching for signs    Too terrified to find a thing
G|-------------------------------|------------------------------|

He battens all the hatches down    And wonders why he hears no sound
G|------------------------------|------------------------------------|
D|------------------------------|------------------------------------|
