G#m
Spreading

B                     E          G#m
It’s headed here like lighting

          B             E
Screaming like elevated trains

G#m            B                         E
Does this word sound like the death bird calling

         G#m
Out your name

   B
At midnight

       B
Once again it 

   F#
It tries at 12:15
[Chorus]
B
Every dirty trick

C#m       G#m
Every second lost
Every crucifix
      E   B
Every albatross
Every bridge I burn
C#m       G#m
Every path I cross
Every chance I get
       E     B
I find myself lost

            F#
Everywhere I look

             G#m
Everyone’s insane

                     E          B
Give me a good book and some Novacain

                       C#m   G#m
Everyone I know is now dead and gone

               E
I’m all that’s left
Oblivion [Verse 2]
G#m     B                     E
Leaving this freezing Land of Lincoln

G#m        B                E         G#m
Seeking my place out in the sun

                      B                 E
Has this world stopped asking what it’s thinking

G#m                    B
Did it stop thinking of you

    E                      F#                 B
And when do you suppose it turned its back on me
[Chorus]
B
Every dirty trick

C#m       G#m
Every second lost
Every crucifix
      E   B
Every albatross
Every bridge I burn
C#m       G#m
Every path I cross
Every chance I get
       E     B
I find myself lost

            F#
Everywhere I look

             G#m
Everyone’s insane

                     E          B
Give me a good book and some Novacain

                       C#m   G#m
Everyone I know is now dead and gone

               E
I’m all that’s left
