[Intro] Bm Bm G D A Bm G F#m A [Verse 1]
       Bm             G           D          A
By the heating of the sun, by the sound of a gun

Bm               G F#m A
I've been undone

   Bm        G              D               A
By being overheard with the wrong choice of word

Bm               G F#m A  Bm G D A
I've been undone

          Bm          G F#m A
Yes, I've been undone
[Verse 2]
       Bm       G         D              A
By the emptiest hole as I searched for a soul

     Bm          G F#m A
I've been undone

       Bm          G           D            A
By the weakness of pain when I desired to remain

     Bm          G F#m A
I've been undone

       Bm          G            D            A
By the clues in my case, by the look on your face

     Bm          G F#m A
I've been undone

       Bm           G        D            A
By the sense of too much, by compassion untouched

     Bm          G F#m A
I've been undone
[Chorus]
Em                 C                 Bm      G D A
  Like a wire on a spool I keep on unrolling

Em         D                      C
  A single thread that seems to unwind and unwind

           Bm       G D A
Unravel my clothing
[Instrumental] Bm G F#m A Bm G F#m A [Verse 3]
           Bm             G            D          A
By all the forms that you get from the Mandelbrot set

     Bm          G F#m A
I've been undone

         Bm      G             D           A
By the recursive slaves in the home of the brave

     Bm          G F#m A
I've been undone

         Bm        G              D          A
Though I want to observe it keeps touching a nerve

         Bm          G F#m A
And I've been undone

       Bm            G           D         A
By the past that you trace, by a moment of grace

       Bm          G F#m A
I have been undone
[Refrain]
      Bm        G    D      A
And I need more information

  Bm                  G        F#m A
I need to know what's going on

      Bm        G    D      A
And I need this information now

Bm     G        F#m  A              Bm    G D A  Bm G F#m A
  So I don't go wrong, go wrong, go wrong
[Chorus]
Em                C                   G
  But how can you smile when it's all gone?

Em            C                 G
  How can you wait? No one will come

Em             C                       G
  Believing in something that doesn't exist

Em           C              Bm   G D
  Letting it go, listen and feel

     A          Bm   G F#m A
Just listen and feel
[Verse 4]
     Bm            G        D                A
By a squeak from a chair, a complete lack of air

     Bm         G F#m    A
I've been undone, been undone

     Bm          G         D           A
By a slip of the ice, by a roll of the dice

     Bm          G F#m A
I've been undone

       Bm      G          D        A
By the Nazarene with it's Turing Machine

     Bm          G F#m A
I've been undone

       Bm            G            D              A
By the mitochondrial cell, by the ringing of the funeral bell

Bm            G    F#m A
I have been undone
[Refrain]
      Bm        G    D      A
And I need more information

  Bm                  G        F#m A
I need to know what's going on

      Bm        G           D   A
And I need this information now

           Bm          G              F#m A
So I don't go wrong, I don't go wrong
[Instrumental] D [Bridge]
       Bm    A                            G
And it starts with the spider on the wall

   F#m        G        Bm
He slides the spheres apart

    A                 G
And opens up the door

F#m   A           Bm
Opens up the heart

        A
Oh, the memories showing

G                   F#m    G
Spinning out on the screen

Bm          A
  Until the quasar shatters

G
At this human plane

       Em                Bm
And it climbs out on the wing
[Chorus]
Em                C                   G
  But how can you smile when it's all gone?

Em            C                     G
  How can you wait when no one will come?

Em             C                           G
  Believing in something that can never be real

Em            C                   Bm   G D
  Time to let go, just listen and feel

     A          Bm   G F#m A
Just listen and feel
[Outro] Bm G D
      A          Bm  G F#m
And I feel it in you

    A          Bm G D
You feel it in me

  A          Bm  G F#m
I feel it in you

    A          Bm G D
You feel it in me

  A          Bm  G F#m
I feel it in you

        A          Bm G D
Oh, you feel it in me

  A          Bm  G D
I feel it in you

  A             N.C.
I feel it in you
