        F#m                                                 D
There’s nothing much hanging from the tree in the Garden of Eden

           F#m                                          C#
It takes a long long time for the fruit to ripen on the vine

   F#m                                                    B
We better get together or we’ll end up on the roof with a shotgun

          A                  C#
Because a chance, we’ve only got one

     F#m                                                D
It’s never very smart to try and strip the bark from an old tree

           F#m                                                   C#
We’ve been digging up the dirt since the rocks of the earth were still warm

    F#m                            B
Now old king coal is dying, he was never gonna last the long run

           A                  C#
You know a chance, we’ve only got one
[Chorus]
               D                      A
At the time of writing we were in our heads

               D                       B
At the time of writing we were good as dead

               F#m
At the time of writing

               D                      A
At the time of writing we were fast asleep

               D                      B
At the time of writing we were in too deep

               F#m
At the time of writing
[Verse 2]
F#m                                                 D
Wait a little while your eyes will realign into the darkness

           F#m                                 C#
There’s an ice-melt below us, bamboo curtains above

    F#m                     B
Our ocean moat protects us, our friends will surely come

           A                  C#
You know a chance, we’ve only got one
[Chorus 2]
               D                      A
At the time of writing we were in our heads

               D                       B
At the time of writing we were good as dead

               F#m
At the time of writing

               D                      A
At the time of writing we were fast asleep

               D                      B
At the time of writing we were in too deep

               F#m
At the time of writing
[Bridge]
F#m                        C#/F#                       E/F#    D/F#
They make no apologies for this, make no apologies for anything

F#m                        C#/F#                       E/F#    D/F#
They make no apologies for this, make no apologies for everything

A                          E                               F#m
We are not responsible for this, we’re not responsible for everything

A                          E                               D
We are not responsible for this, we’re not responsible for everything
[Chorus 3]
               D                      A
At the time of writing we were in our heads

               D                       B
At the time of writing we were good as dead

               F#m
At the time of writing

               D                      A
At the time of writing we were fast asleep

               D                      B
At the time of writing we were in too deep

               F#m
At the time of writing

               D                      A
At the time of writing we were on the brink

               D                  B
At the time of writing, still had time to think

                    F#m
At the time, at the time, at the time, at the time, at the time right now
