Islands – Humans (Guitar)

Am
Love bird, you flew into my window

    E
Now in the sticky love nest sits a widow

Am
The tree it fell on all the people

    E  
Who gathered there to watch it topple

Am
Now turn around, it's burning down

    Dm
The city we live in

C
Should we mobilize?

C
Take them by surprise?

F                   E
Let them have their way with us?

Am
Wounds be by old enemies

Dm
Broke my heart to see

C
Foundations ripped apart

C
And investments fade away

F                       E
I guess we got off to a bad start

   C
No oxygen

            Am
What is the outcome?

       F
Hungry humans

             G
We've got to enslave them

                 C
We'll burn those bridges

        Am
When we come to them

                   F
I'm not just their leader

         G
I'm also one of them

    Am 
The food supply has been depleted

    E
The river's run dry just when it was needed

    Am
The rats come out to take it over

E
Singing, squeaking, "We built this city"

Am
It's hard to breathe

Am
But we couldn't leave

Dm
Nowhere left to go

C
Almost everybody died

C
Drank the tears from those who cried

   F                  E
We shriveled from the sodium

      Am
And a map was found with an X on it

   Dm
So we followed it there

    C
And what did we find

C
An underground design   

      F             E
As we entered in to our surprise

C
Oxygen

           Am
Rivers and playgrounds

                  F
The ancients just stayed down

                   G
They never stopped moving

            C
We stumbled towards them

                        Am
But they locked all the barn doors

                 F
So we had to dig deeper

              G
We had to dig deeper

        Am
And the deep was dark

                  E
I wanted to sleep forever

E                     
Wake up later, maybe never

   Am
We had to build a civilization

        E
Let the planet focus on the planet's rotation

Am
We tried, we tried

Am
We really tried

Dm
But no one could do it

C
Not really alive

C
Never learned how to survive

        F            E  
We were humans being useless

   C
No oxygen

            Am
What is the outcome?

       F
Hungry humans

             G
We've got to enslave them

                 C
We'll burn those bridges

        Am
When we come to them

                   F
I'm not just their leader

         G
I'm also one of them

   Am        C
We fade into oblivion

C            F         Dm                E
No traces of civilized living eating the earth

C 
We're fading to oblivion

             C         F      Dm       E
No traces of civilized living eaten by earth
