Song Lyrics and Chords

[Intro and verse chords:]
   Ebm7   Ab7 Db9 Gbmaj7 Cm7-5 Bmaj7 Bb+5
e    6     4   4    x      x      x     x  
B    7     4   4    2      4      4     7

E    x     4   x    2      x      x     6  

Chorus chords (these voicings give you the violin notes on the 
top strings, especially if you ditch the Ebm7 for the Eb5 in 
brackets. The Gbmaj7 needs your thumb for the bass string.

 x      x      6      1      x      x 
 7      6      7      2      7      9 
 8      4      6(8)   3      5      7

 7      x      x      2      4      6 


Where the chord change is on a half measure, the two chords are 
connected by a hyphen (with spaces), e.g. Ebm7  -  Gbmaj7.
Otherwise each chord is one measure; if a chord is played for two
measures, it's written in twice, except for the outro where the 
timing becomes fluid – you're on your own there.

[Intro]
Ebm7 Ab7  Db9      Gbmaj7
     Ooh, He - ey, oh
Cm7-5                Bmaj7                 Bb+5
What we're living in,      let me tell ya


[Verse 1]
       Ebm7           Ab7       
It's a wonder man can eat at all
     Db9                 Gbmaj7
When things are big that should be small
Cm7-5             Bmaj7
Who can tell what magic spells 
Bb+5           Ebm7
Will be doing for us?

        Ebm7          Ab7       
And I'm giving all my love to this world
Db9        Gbmaj7
   Only to be told
Cm7-5         Bmaj7
I can't see, I can't breathe, 
Bb+5             Ebm7 – Gbmaj7
no more will we be


[PRE CHORUS 1]
    Ab7                           Db9           
And nothing's going to change the way we live
     Gbmaj7                 Cm7-5       
Cos' we can always take but never give
  Bmaj7                         Bb+5
An' now that things're changing for the worse, see. 
Ebm7 
    Woah,       
    
Ab7                   Db9       
     It's a crazy world we're living in
Gbmaj7                Cm7-5     
     And I just can't see that 
        Bmaj7           Bb+5          Bb7  -  Dm7-5
Half of us immersed in sin is all we have to give these


[Chorus 1]
  Bmaj7   Ddim7    Ebm7 - Gbmaj7  Ab7 -  Bb7    
  Futures made of virtu - al   insani - ty now
  Bmaj7  Ddim7       Ebm7 -  Gbmaj7  Ab7  -  Bb7        
  Always seem to be governed by this love we have for
  Bmaj7    Ddim7    Ebm7 - Gbmaj7  Ab7 -  Bb7   
  Useless, twisting of the new techno - logy
      Bmaj7           Ddim7         Ebm7  -  Gbmaj7 Ab7 – Bb7
  Oh, now there is no sound, for we all live under-ground



[Verse 2]
         Ebm7           Ab7     
And I'm thinking what a mess we're in
Db9                Gbmaj7
Hard to know where to begin
   Cm7-5            Bmaj7
If I could slip the sickly ties 
     Bb+5   -  Dm7-5   Ebm7 – Gbmaj7
That earthly   man has made

    Ab7       Db9      Gbmaj7           Cm7-5   
And now every mother   can choose the colour
Bmaj7             Bb+5     –    Dm7-5    Ebm7 - Gbmaj7
     Of her child,   that's not nature's way

[PRE CHORUS 2]     
      Ab7                        Db9            
Well that's what they said yesterday
        Gbmaj7                 Cm7-5    
There's nothing left to do but pray
  Bmaj7                    Bb+5  -    Dm7-5    Ebm7 –  Gbmaj7
I think it's time I found  a new    religion,    wo  - ah,

     Ab7           Db9          Gbmaj7
it's so insane to synthesize another strain
        Cm7-5              Bmaj7           Bb+5  –   Dm7
There's something in these futures that we have  to be told


[Chorus 2]
  Bmaj7   Ddim7    Ebm7 - Gbmaj7  Ab7 -  Bb7    
  Futures made of  virtu - al   insani - ty now
  Bmaj7  Ddim7       Ebm7 -  Gbmaj7  Ab7  -  Bb7        
  Always seem to be governed by this love we have for
  Bmaj7    Ddim7    Ebm7 - Gbmaj7  Ab7 -  Bb7   
  Useless, twisting of the new techno - logy
      Bmaj7           Ddim7         Ebm7  -  Gbmaj7 Ab7 -  Bb7  
  Oh, now there is no sound, for we all live under-ground


[Chorus 3]
  Bmaj7                Ddim7         Ebm7  -  Gbmaj7 Ab7 - Bb7  
  Now there is no sound        if we all live underground
  Bmaj7                      Ddim7      
      And now it's virtual insanity
     Ebm7 -   Gbmaj7    Ab7 - Bb7
  Forget your virtual real - ity
  Bmaj7                    Ddim7    Ebm7 - Gbmaj7  Ab7 - Bb7    
       Oh, there's nothing so bad.       I know   ye - ah


[Interlude]
Ebm7  Ab7  Db9  Gbmaj7  Cm7-5  Bmaj7  Bb+5
Ebm7  Ab7  Db9  Gbmaj7  Cm7-5  Bmaj7  Bb+5


[Chorus 4]
  Bmaj7   Ddim7    Ebm7 - Gbmaj7  Ab7 -  Bb7    
  Futures made of  virtu - al   insani - ty now
  Bmaj7  Ddim7       Ebm7  -  Gbmaj7  Ab7  -  Bb7       
  Always seem  to be governed by this love we have for
  Bmaj7    Ddim7     Ebm7 - Gbmaj7  Ab7 -  Bb7  
  Useless, twisting  of the new techno - logy
      Bmaj7           Ddim7          Ebm7  -  Gbmaj7 Ab7 -  Bb7 
  Oh, now there is no sound,  for we all live under-ground


[Chorus 5]
  Bmaj7        Ddim7 Ebm7 - Gbmaj7   Ab7 - Bb7  
       Living,       virtu - al   insani – ty
  Bmaj7        Ddim7 Ebm7 - Gbmaj7   Ab7 - Bb7  
       Living,       virtu - al   insani – ty
  Bmaj7        Ddim7 Ebm7 - Gbmaj7   Ab7 - Bb7  
       Living,       virtu - al   insani – ty
  Bmaj7        Ddim7 Ebm7 - Gbmaj7   Ab7 - Bb7  
       Living,       virtu - al   insani – ty


[Outro]
  Bmaj7 Db9     
  Ebm7      Cm7-5      B -  Bmaj7       Cm7-5 – Cm7 
  Virtual insanity is what we're living in
