[Verse]
          Am               AmMaj7/F#
Took the fireworks and the vanity

    F                     C
The circuit board and the city streets

F                      C
Shooting star, swaying palm tree

G                        Am
Laid it at the Arbiter's feet

If I could change my mind, change the paradigm

Prepare myself for another life

Forgive myself for the many times

      G                               Am
I was cruel to something helpless and weak
[Chorus]

But here it come, that heavy love

I’m never gonna move it alone

Here it come, that heavy love

Tag it on a tenement wall

Here it come, that heavy love

Someone's gotta share in the load

      Am
I was dressed in white

           AmMaj7/F#
Touched by something pure

F                     C
Death obsessed like a teenager

        F                        C
Sold my tortured youth, piss and vinegar

          G                       Am
I’m still angry with no reason to be
[Verse]
       Am            AmMaj7/F#
At the architect who imagined this

        F                  C
For the every-man, blessed Sisyphus

         F             C
Slipping steadily into madness

    G                           Am
Now that's the only place to be free
[Chorus]
    F                  G
But here it come, that heavy love

You’re never gonna move it alone

F                  G
Here it come, that heavy love

Tattooed on a criminal's arm

Here it come that heavy love

No I don’t want to play

It’s a shell game, it’s a shell game.
[Verse]
Am                  AmMaj7/F#
Distorted sounds on oscilloscopes

F                       C
Distorted facts I could never cope

   F                  C
My private life is an inside joke

G                         Am
No one will explain it to me
[Verse]
           Am                 AmMaj7/F#
Will it be everything that we ever need

F               C
Everyone on the count of three,

F               C
Everyone on the count of three

    G
All together now.

Playing as the cylinder rolls
