Intro  G D Am  C/G (2x) 

G                     D       Am                 C/G 
 Deep down in the underground,  atoms spinning round and round 
 G           D        Am      C/G 
Scientists monitor readings 
 G                D           Am                 C/G 
Searching for the Holy Grail, the particle or at least the tale 
       G                 D            Am       A 
Of the one who gives the universe its meaning. 

C/G                     G          D              Em     (lift fingers off 4 & 5 string & play) 
   But what if there's nothing, no big answer to find?                 (open for run up to C/G) 
C/G                G                   D     
   What if we're just passing through time? 

F       C/G          G 
No one knows nothing anymore 
F       C/G           G 
Nobody really knows the score 
F       C/G    G 
Nobody knows anything 
F             C/G              A 
Let's break it down and start again 

G                      D 
 What happens when the markets drop, 
Am                      C/G 
  If the numbers really don't add up? 
G          D            Am       C/G 
Everyone seeks the safe haven. 
G                     D 
 And as they contemplate their ruin, 
  Am                                C/G 
The self-proclaimed smartest people in the room 
    G             D               Am        A 
Are trying very hard not to sound craven 

C/G                     G           D             Em       (lift fingers off 4 & 5 string & play) 
   But what if there's nothing, no pot of gold to find?                (open for run up to C/G) 
C/G          G                D     
   Only the blind leading the blind. 

F       C/G          G 
No one knows nothing anymore 
F       C/G           G 
Nobody really knows the score 
F       C/G    G 
Nobody knows anything 
F             C/G              A 
Let's break it down and start again 

Cmaj7 
   Let's stop pretending  
         *                       Cmaj7         (* Walkdown on 6 string from 3 to 2 to open,then onto) 
We can manage our way out of here.                (Em chord and then play open then onto Cmaj7 chord) 
                         * 
Let's stop defending the indefensible. 
Cmaj7 
   Let's stop relying on 
    * 
The lecturing of the experts 
       A             
Whose spin just makes our plight incomprehensible. 

G              D         Am                   C/G 
High up on a mountain top, somebody with a skinhead crop 
G                 D              Am      C/G 
Is thinking deep thoughts for us all. 
G            D         Am                           C/G 
Serenity is all around, but if you listen you can hear the sound 
 G                   D               Am      A 
Of one head being banged against the wall. 

C/G                  G              D             Em      (lift fingers off 4 & 5 string & play) 
   But what if our ancestors had stayed up in the trees                 (open for run up to C/G) 
C/G                         G                D 
   Who'd be sleeping weighed down by these worries? 

F       C/G          G 
No one knows nothing anymore 
F       C/G           G 
Nobody really knows the score 
F       C/G    G 
Nobody knows anything 
F             C/G              A 
Let's break it down and start again
