Verse 

Am               G           F 
I keep hearing a vicious rumor 
G                          Dm                    Em 
From the back rooms, to the alleys, to the avenues 
Am                G             F 
That you lost your sense of humor 
G                      F              C 
And the first place you look is the soles of your shoes 

     Am            G           F 
And I watch these ice fields melt into the sea 
  G             Dm          Em 
Warming you're oceans to centuries 
          Am        G      F 
Will your saline waters bring you back to me? 
         G         F          C 
Oh the weight is bringing me to my knees 

Dm C G F Chemical switches thrown in the dark G Dm C All it takes is a spark to begin Dm C G F And can you tell which is a one with a mark? G Dm C That Bleeds through the clothes to the skin
Whistling Interlude Am G F G Dm Em Am G F G F C Verse Am G F G Dm Em Too long I keep searching the alleys and avenues Am G F But it seems I'm doing it wrong G F C For I've seen neither hide nor hair of you Humming/Singing Interlude Am G F G Dm Em Am G F G F C Bridge F C G F And it's a short short walk from pebbles to bricks G F From stones back to sticks G We're lowering the boiling point Dm C G F And as time goes by, gets harder to fix G F G C It's a volatile mix, like hydrogen and oxygen
Dm C G F Chemical switches thrown in the dark G Dm C All it takes is a spark to begin
