[Verse 1]
    E7        Em      Esus4   E     E5    Em   E
The things we laid do not amount to much

     E7  Em       Esus4 E     E5     Em   E
Made of abandoned wood, loose stones and such
E7 Em Esus4 E
       C7
This revolution, baby

  D            C7       C
Proves who you work for lately
[Verse 2]
  E7        Em   Esus4    E    E5    Em   E
Release the castaways who run amok

     E7     Em      Esus4       E        E5   Em   E
From self appointed winds which blow and such

     E7      Em         Esus4        E   E5    Em   E
When present tense gets strangled in the mire

     E7     Em   Esus4   E      E5    Em   E
Made of our cozy decom---posing wires
[Chorus]
           C
Who do you work for baby

D           C                D
And does it work for you lately

Em
But when the night is over and the walls start churning

Em
When fire starts to matter and the clock's still burning

                                    C              D
Cliches and other chatter keeps our minds from learning

    C
Our minds keep learning

     D Em
It's allllright

     Em
It's alright
[Verse 3]
    E7        Em      Esus4    E        E5    Em   E
The things we laid do not     amount to much

     E7    Em         Esus4     E      E5    Em   E
Made up of thought balloons and cotton swabs

     E7      Em         Esus4     E      E5    Em   E
When present tense gets strangled in the woes

     E7     Em     Esus4    E      E5    Em   E
Made of our future foe      scenarios
[Chorus]
     C
This revolution baby

       D       C
Proves who you work for maybe

D           C
Who do you work for baby

    D       C
And does it work for you lately
[Verse 4]
    E7       Em       Esus4        E           E5      Em   E
But when the night is over and the walls start linking

     E7          Em        Esus4   E            E5     Em   E
When fire starts to matter and the clocks still sinking

   E7             Em
Cliches and other chatter

C

D   C
Our minds keep thinking

     D Em

[Coda]
Em
That's when it turned on me

                         C
A motorcade of 'meant to be's'

C
Parades of beauty queens

                         D
Where soft entwines make kindling

Em
These many detailed things

                              C
Like broken nails and plastic rings

C
Will win by keeping me

                         D
From speaking to my new darling

D
And there's no way to know

                      C
Our future foe scenarios

C
That's when it turned on me

                          Em
Where bobby pins hold angel wings

       Em
It's alright

      C
It's alright

       Em
It's alright

      C
It's alright

       Em
It's alright

      C
It's alright
[Outro] Em C Em
