[Chorus]
Em Gm The days that are met with only-ness F#m Em/C Aid and abet this loneliness Em Gm The days that are met with only-ness F#m Em/C Aid and abet this loneliness Em Gm The days that are met with only-ness F#m Em/C Aid and abet this loneliness Em Gm The days that are met with only-ness F#m Em/C Aid and abet this loneliness
[Verse 1]
Em Gm F#m * Tonight's the night, the wheels are turning Em Gm F#m * The signal flows, I try to keep the home fires burning Em Gm F#m * That was my stop, but the subway kept going Em Gm F#m * Nothing to lose when Mercury's showing
[Chorus]
Em Gm The days that are met with only-ness F#m Em/C Aid and abet this loneliness Em Gm The days that are met with only-ness F#m Em/C Aid and abet this loneliness
[Verse 2]
Em Gm F#m * The moments are mine if I can just seize the day Em Gm F#m But then I forget what it is that I meant to say Em Gm F#m * I try to hold on but never too tight Em Gm F#m The hours go by 'til Mercury comes out at night
[Verse 3]
Em Gm F#m * Staring up at the great machine Em Gm F#m That never began and will never end Em Gm F#m * From the silver starlit tapestry Em Gm F#m I see countless eyes staring back at me Em Gm F#m * Venus in steel, the unbreakable net Em Gm F#m Venus in steel, the unbreakable net Em Gm F#m * The trail of lilies and violets ends Em Gm F#m Trapped in steel, the unbreakable net

B C#
And the rivers run deep, like a quick silver stream
C# B C# **
With wings on your feet, your day is longer than your year
C# B C#
Look up the night sky, for a moment I can see
C# B C# **
(Oooh’s) That the rivers run deep, your day is longer than your year
C# B C#
The lies they feed to me, are as edible as mercury
C# B C# **
But the rivers run deep, your day is longer than your year
C# B C#
And the Water-star is singing, its silver melody
C# B C#
(Oooh’s) The rivers run deep, your day is longer than your year
B C#
Your day is longer than your year[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]
Em And the net's unbreakable, don't worry about falling Em The voice that you ignore might be your future calling Em Alone, we're tossed about like a bottle in the sea EM But together we ascend, and only then escape this gravity Em The net's unbreakable, don't worry about falling Em The net's unbreakable, don't worry about falling Em The net's unbreakable, don't worry about falling Em The net's unbreakable, don't worry about falling Em The net's unbreakable
