D                          F                      Bbmaj7   A A/G
Everything is gone but the echo of the burst of a shell

    F#m        F             Bbmaj7     A7 /s C7
I'm stuck here waiting for a passing feeling

       D            F              Bbmaj7   A A/G
in the city I built up and blew to hell

    F#m        F             Bbmaj7     A7 /s C7
I'm stuck here waiting for a passing feeling
[Chorus]
Am/C                 Am                    D7/F#
still I send all the time my request for relief

                 Fmaj7                    C/G
down a dead powerline though I'm beyond belief

                Am                     D7/F#
in the help I require just to exist at all

                    Fmaj7       (intro:)  D*   Dm7  Bbmaj7* A*   A7*
took a long time to stand took an hour to fall
[Verse]
    F#malt     Fmaj7         Bbmaj7*    A7 /s C7
I'm stuck here waiting for a passing feeling

F#m        F             Bbmaj7     A7 /s C7
stuck here waiting for a passing feeling
[Chorus]
Am/C                 Am                    D7/F#
still I send all the time my request for relief

                 Fmaj7                    C/G
down a dead powerline though I'm beyond belief

                 Am                    D7/F#
in the help I require just to exist at all

                    Fmaj7
took a long time to stand took an hour to fall
[Outro] C/G Am D7/F# Fmaj7 (repeat and fade out)
