Well you sure didn't look like you were having any fun 

            F#m                              G          D
with that heavy-metal gaze they'll have to measure in tons 

              G              D
and when you look up at the sky 

G                D       G                D         A    A7
all you see are zeros / all you see are zeros and ones  

D                             G               A           D
you took my hand and lead me down to watch a kewpie doll parade 

D                             G                 A          D
we let the kittens lick our hair and drank our chalky lemonade  

D                            G            A              D      
it's not that I just didn't care I must admit I was afraid

and I'm awfully glad my finger's resting gently on the masterfade    

      F#m                    G         D
the masterfade / I coulda played along

the masterfade / I coulda played Mah Jongg / but it just takes too long 

     G             D                        G         D
and I just can't remember / which way the east wind blows 

          A                     Em                  A             Em
does it matter? / If we're all matter/ what's it matter does it matter 

                                 A                          
if we're all matter when we're done?

          Em                       A Em F#m A7
when the sky is full of zeros and ones

D                          G            A            D
I saw you standing all alone in the electrostatic rain 

D                              G       A             D
I thought at last I'd found a situation you can't explain 

D                       G              A          D       
with GPS you know it's all just a matter of degrees 

D                              G               A           D
your happiness won't find you underneath that canopy of trees 

         F#m                     G         D 
if the green grass is 6 the soybeans are 7 

         F#m                       G            D
the junebugs are 8 the weeds and thistles are 11 

           G                    D        G     D       
and if the 1s just hold thier place the 0s a smiley face 

       G                 D              A      A7
when they come floating down from the heavens 

D                             G                A       D
you took my hand and lead me down to watch a papillon parade 

D                             G                 A           D
we let the kittens lick our hair and drank our chalky lemonade 

D                                G              A               D
you squeezed my hand and told me softly that I shouldn't be afraid  

D                                  G    D  A                       D

        F#m               G         D           F#m
the masterfade I coulda played along / the masterfade 

           G           D          G               D
I coulda played Mah Jongg but it just takes too long

     G                  D                    G         D
and who the hell can remember which way the east wind blows
