Eliza Gilkyson – 2153 (Guitar)

                              F               C
Well, their brains were quite large for their bodies

                                              G
And it lulled them into thinking they weren't dumb

         C             F               C
They did guns, extreme sports, special hobbies

                           G           C
And cool tricks with their fingers and thumbs

         Am                    G            C
And they thought they would be guaranteed delivered

        Am           D             G
To some guy in Roman sandals and a beard

        C               F               C
So they bought and they fought and they twittered

      G             C
By 2153 they'd disappeared

         F                       C
Oh, they waited for their god in vain

           F                       C    G
Yeah, they waited for their god in vain

       C        F           C     F
In the last big play of the final game

     G                       C     G   C
They waited for their god in vain

                        F            C
Well, they went for the literal translation

                                          G
Of every text and symbol, sacred work and screed

       C           F         C
They obsessed over minor variations

                          G             C
Misconstrued the truth to justify their deeds

         Am                   G             C
And they thought that all the others were afflicted

              Am              D                  G
And those who knew the secret handshake would be saved

         C              F                 C
And they thought in the end they'd all be lifted

                         G              C
Now they're lying in the beds that they made

         F                       C
Ah, they waited for their god in vain

           F                       C    G
Yeah, they waited for their god in vain

C                   F                C                 F
Standing with their luggage, waiting for the transport plane

     G                       C    
They waited for their god in vain

         F                       C
Ah, they waited for their god in vain

           F                       C    G
Yeah, they waited for their god in vain

          C                    F             C                F
When they called out for their god, each one used a different name

     G                       C    
They waited for their god in vain

                      F                  C               F
This is all we can conclude, from what's left of their remains

     G                       C     C-G-C
They waited for their god in vain
