F#       F#11     F#                      F#11
I believe   we're crossing a great ravine

      F#                     E
still yearning,   half-way a stranger

F#       F#11   F#              F#11
I believe    in our multiplicity

      F#                        E
still part-blind, no reason for anger
[CHORUS]
A                D    G

F#     F#11 F#                            F#11
tyranny     crushing the young bird's seed

F#                                  E
hallowe'en's mate short fuse of the banker

          F#       F#11    F#                            F#11
I can see vaseline,    you smeared it across every screen

    F#                              E
the anchorman drowns in a sea of sensation

F#
I thought myself wise through all of these hopeless times

                                                   E
but I told myself, told myself, you've got to hold on
