Intro: Dm  Am  Bb  F (2x)
 

F 
   I am a man 
                 Bbm 
   You fell down from that apple tree the other day with me 
F           Bbm 
   We had already forgotten, we one day crawled up from the sea 
F  
   Imangine now 
             Bbm 
   If we one day could build a flying contraption and see the world   
        Dm 
   What if we could some how store knowledge in a cloud        
          C# 
   Draw a smiley face on the moon, find the meaning of life 


   F                   C 
   Riding the crest of our time 
                         Bb 
   With bravado soon complete 
      C    F                    C   
   We will see a new one rise behind us    
     Bb            C 
   A new chance, a new world 


       Dm   Am               Bb 
   Our wave... it's about to break 
F                     Dm          Am                        
   And we're about to dive in the void 
                 Bb 
   It echoes our fall 
F                Dm    
   Our paean to avarice  


Am               Bb      F     
   I think we're closer (ooh...) 
            Dm   Am 
   To an animal (ooh...) 
        Bb          F 
   Everyday till we fall 

  
F  
   Can you believe  
                     Bbm 
   We have all those eyes high in the sky and we can see the world 
            Dm  
   On thing truly makes me blind, the wisdom of hindsight 
       C# 
   The eye in my own hand 


   F                   C 
   Riding the crest of our time 
                         Bb 
   With bravado soon complete 
      C    F                    C   
   We will see a new one rise behind us    
     Bb            C          Dm 
   A new chance, a new world 


Am             Bb      F     
   I think I'm closer (ooh...) 
            Dm   Am 
   To an animal (ooh...) 
        Bb         F 
   Everyday till I fall 


          Em                   B 
   If you want it all, you can have it all 
       C            D 
   But greed raises oceans too 
            Em             B  
   When the glacier of our broken dreams 
   C             D 
   Melts in your champagne glass 
           F#m                 C# 
   Someone knocks on your door four times 
   D            E 
   Sand in your hourglass 
         F#m             C# 
   Every grain is a day, falling 
   D            E 
   Finding it's rightful place 


Em  Bm  C  D 
Em  Bm  C  D 


          Em                   Bm 
   If you want it all, you can have it all 
       C            G      D/F# 
   But greed raises oceans too 
            Em             Bm 
   When the glacier of our broken dreams 
   C             G         D/F# 
   Melts in your champagne glass 
         Em                  Bm 
   Do we need it all, we can have it all 
       C                G      D/F# 
   Our greed will raise oceans soon 
           C              D   
   And the glacier of our human dream 
   Em            G         D/F#         C    D   Em  G  D/F# 
   Gone with the champagne glass in the sea 

(Spoken outro repeats last C D Em G D/F# three times, ends 4th on Em)
