This track is harder than it looks to tab. The outro guitar I get very lost on
the solo so have just left this for you to play your own part there. To make it
easier for playing, I have put the actual fret numbers for the outro solo and
the fret numbers relative to the capo for the other parts.
Enjoy!

Verse 2 (as interlude)
=======
The colours stand still
And then they move around
Comin' in and out of focus upside down
Empty winter trees
How space feels
Love of the soft ... the flowers and the sky
Bridge

One fine day
The chaos subsides
Bleeds into awareness
And a lifetime of surprise
The beauty of your mothers eyes
The pain when you fall
You drink it in and marvel at it all
But you never really figure it out

=====
Alone in the city at seventeen
With the hollow and the lonely
The drowning and the drowned
I was made to feel worthless
The wretched and the mean
Beat me up like a weapon I can't run away from or find a way round
Holdin' on, holdin' on
Chorus (as before)
======
The greed and the missiles
Exploding somewhere every day
Hideous dark secrets under the sea and in holes in the ground
The cold war's gone
But those bastards'll find us another one
They're here to protect you, don't you know?
So get used to it
Get used to it!

The clash of religions
And the loaded prayers
Information
The face of starvation and the state of the nation
The sense that it's useless
And the fear to try
Not believing the leaders, the media that feed us
Living with the big lie
You get used to it
Get used to it!
It's okay, I got used to it
