[GUITAR DROPS OUT; Only bass/drums play for a frame]
A F#m D Out at elbows by the encore A F#m D But there's a citadel inside A F#m D Where I'll go and shape my heart like yours, A F#m D As you shape yours like mine A F#m D Where we're the spiraling arms of all galaxies A F#m D And we're the microscopic sand A F#m D Suffering from delusions of ungrandeur on middling display A F#m D A F#m D Beside the Cardiff giant with the alabaster eyes A F#m D A F#m D I often wonder if I've already died A F#m D I often wonder if I've already died,
[BRIDGE]: repeat 4x
A Or if the 'I' A if the 'I' A D is an unintelligible lie
[OUTRO]:
A Off we flew like swarms of hornets F#m D 'Woken up' from winter's rest A To colonize with plastic pulp F#m D Our neighbor's perfect paper nest A While all year round potter wasp F#m D Has buzzed her unhinged song A You can hear its creaking in our floorboards F#m D Megalomania's only mania if you're wrong A, F#m, D x2 A (strummed a few times during the instrumental outro) A: e|---| F#m: e|-2-| D: e|-2-| B|-2-| B|-2-| B|-3-| G|-2-| G|-2-| G|-2-| D|-2-| D|-4-| D|-0-| A|-0-| A|-4-| A|---| E|---| E|-2-| E|---|
