E                 B
I'm floating in a black balloon

C#7        (D#) E
O.D. on Easter afternoon

G#m   F#         E         B
My mama told me "Baby stay clean

          C#7       (D#) E
There's no in-between"

G#m                  F#     B
And all you ladies and you gentlemen

C#7                  (D#) E
Between is all you've ever seen or been

G#m   F#           E
Fit poorly and arrange the sight

B              C#7       (D#) E
Doll it up in virgin white

G#m    F#      E       C#7                     D#
You disappoint me, you people raking in on the world

E     F#    Fm      E       B      C#7      G#m      G
The devil's script sells you the heart of a blackbird

E            B                C#7           E
Shine on me baby, 'cause it's raining in my heart

G#m            F#   B
Sun's rising on a chopping glare

C#7              (D#)  E
Rain dropping acid bought up in the air

G#m   F#     E        B     C#7       E
A distorted reality's now a necessity ... to be free

G#m    F#     E
It's so disappointing

C#7                         D#
First I put it all down to luck

E   F#     Fm  E  B       C#7        G#m
God knows why my country don't give a fuck

G
Fuck

G#m          G         B                   C#7
Shine on me baby, 'cause it's raining in my heart

G            B          F#                 G#m
Shine on me baby, 'cause it's raining in my heart
