(ver. 1)

Em Cmaj7 G Cmaj7 x2

Em    Cmaj7    G
I take your hand
Cmaj7    Em              Cmaj7        G    Cmaj7
We walk towards where the roses once grew
Em         Cmaj7     G Cmaj7
I lie back in the grass
 Em      Cmaj7      G
And dream of how it once was

Am         Cmaj7
The rubbishstrewn streets
Am     Cmaj7
Riperising smell of gutters and rain

Em         Cmaj7 G     Cmaj7
The children abandoned
Em          Cmaj7 G          Cmaj7  Em
Mother recalls child in pool
Cmaj7              G  Cmaj7 Em
What is that that lies?
Cmaj7 G
Deadchilddead

Am           Cmaj7    Am
I have such nightmares
                  Cmaj7
And you're all in all of them

     Em           Cmaj7   G            
It's worse than you or i can ever know

Cmaj7  Em  Cmaj7  G  Cmaj7

        Em  Cmaj7   G               Cmaj7
On the edge of the clouds we crouch
   Em   Cmaj7  G  Am
We smile and spit

Am           Cmaj7  Am         Cmaj7
The pool of saliva coruscates below our feet

    Em    Cmaj7  G
It shifts
Cmaj7    Em        Cmaj7   G               Cmaj7  
Children with knives begin to rise from it
      Em       Cmaj7   G               
They laugh and blow kisses at the moon

Cmaj7  Em  Cmaj7  G  x3
Cmaj7

Em                Cmaj7  G  Cmaj7
We think it's the rain
         Em    Cmaj7       G            Am
I see a bird move onto the table in my garden
    Cmaj7  Am    Cmaj7       Cmaj7
Its beak scoops up the seeds
                   Em   Cmaj7               G    Cmaj7
The green of the grass and the blue of the sky
     Em     Cmaj7     G    Cmaj7
Are immense and terrifying
      Em    Cmaj7
Everything seems so close
    G         Cmaj7
So very very close
Em        Cmaj7
Should a storm come
G              Cmaj7      Em       Cmaj7
Should a storm break and halo all around us
G        Cmaj7 Em  Cmaj7    G
As some savage and blind god 
Cmaj7 Em  Cmaj7        G
Jerking his hands out to us
Cmaj7    Em   Cmaj7  G
The birds drop all around us

Am  Cmaj7 x2

Cmaj7            Em   Cmaj7
I walk into the altar room
          G          Cmaj7       Em
All the buddhas are smashed there
Cmaj7             G           Cmaj7  Em
Avalokitesvara's hundred faces lie shattered
Cmaj7      G      Cmaj7
I have done this
Em                      Cmaj7               G               Cmaj7
I walk to the makeshift red brick altar a hundred years ago
  Em              Cmaj7 G          Cmaj7
there is a small brass image there
        Em
I have built this
    Cmaj7          G
The red and black ants mill around
Cmaj7          Em
Unknown journeys
   Cmaj7         G   Cmaj7       Em
I take my lighter and torch them
   Cmaj7               G          Am
I take my lighter and torch them
    Cmaj7 Am
I weep
  Cmaj7
I weep
Cmaj7      Em    Cmaj7
The ants scatter 
G         Cmaj7
Or writhe 
           Em         Cmaj7            G    Cmaj7
I take my lighter and torch them torch them
   Em   Cmaj7
I have done this
       G            Cmaj7 Em   Cmaj7
I am surrounded by butterflies
     G          Cmaj7
The child's legs
Em   Cmaj7   G  Cmaj7
Lay smashed 
        Em       Cmaj7              G  Cmaj7
Please pray for him she says to me
     Em
Too late
Cmaj7 G Cmaj7 Em
Alas oh so 
Cmaj7 G  Cmaj7 Em Cmaj7 G
Too late

Am  Cmaj7 x2

Cmaj7      Em        Cmaj7
I see the twinkling stars
              G     Cmaj7
I drop a photograph
   Em     Cmaj7      G
I bend to pick it up
Cmaj7  Em     Cmaj7           G   Cmaj7
My heart leaps as i see your face
Em          Cmaj7         G  Cmaj7
Stare up at me from the paper
       Em   Cmaj7          G
As if still alive on this earth
Cmaj7    Em    Cmaj7   G            Cmaj7
When i return my eyes to the stars
      Em
They gathered
     Cmaj7  G
They pucker
         Cmaj7  Em
And are blind
Cmaj7          G  
And are blind

Cmaj7 Em Cmaj7 G x3

Am Cmaj7 Am
        Cmaj7
So very lost are we
             Em Cmaj7
Oh what have i  
G      Cmaj7
Become
   Em         Cmaj7        
I have become
Cmaj7    G  Cmaj7
That i hate
         Em  Cmaj7         G      Cmaj7  Em
I have become that i shall say no
    Cmaj7    G       Cmaj7  Em
The bird is dead now
Cmaj7  G  Cmaj7
Alas
         Em   Cmaj7 G  Cmaj7
A voice whispers to me
     Em  Cmaj7  G Cmaj7  Em 
And says nothing nothing
Cmaj7    G       Am
There is nothing

Am            Cmaj7    Am      
I look to my right
                  Cmaj7
And see her face again
     Em     Cmaj7         G    
And again the world disappears

Cmaj7 Em Cmaj7 G

Cmaj7         Em  Cmaj7  G
And all fall down
Cmaj7     Em   Cmaj7  G
All fall down
Cmaj7     Em    Cmaj7  G
All fall down
Cmaj7       Em    Cmaj7  G
I all fall down
Cmaj7     Em    Cmaj7  G
All fall down
Cmaj7       Em    Cmaj7  G
I all fall down

(No Chords)
We all fall down
We all fall down
