[INTRO] C#m G#m A E C#m G#m A E [VERSE]
E
   I am a man

                 Am
   You fell down from that apple tree the other day with me

E           Am
   We had already forgotten, we one day crawled up from the sea

E 
   Imagine now

             Am
   If we one day could build a flying contraption and see the world  

        C#m
   What if we could some how store knowledge in a cloud       

          C
   Draw a smiley face on the moon, find the meaning of life
[PRE-CHORUS]
   E                   B
   Riding the crest of our time

                        A
   With bravado soon complete

      B    E                    B  
   We will see a new one rise behind us   

     A            B
   A new chance, a new world
[VERSE]
       C#m   G#m           A
   Our wave, it's about to break

E                     C#m         G#m                       
   And we're about to dive in the void

                 A
   It echoes our fall

E                C#m   
   Our paean to avarice 
[CHORUS]
G#m               A      E    
   I think we're closer (ooh...)

            C#m   G#m
   To an animal (ooh...)

        A          E
   Everyday till we fall
[VERSE]
E 
   Can you believe 

                     Am
   We have all those eyes high in the sky and we can see the world

            C#m 
   On thing truly makes me blind, the wisdom of hindsight

       C
   The eye in my own hand
[Pre-CHORUS]
   E                   B
   Riding the crest of our time

                         A
   With bravado soon complete

      B    E                    B  
   We will see a new one rise behind us   

     A             B          C#m
   A new chance, a new world
[CHORUS]
G#m            A       E    
   I think I'm closer (ooh...)

            C#m  G#m
   To an animal (ooh...)

        A          E
   Everyday till I fall
[BRIDGE]
          D#m                  A#
   If you want it all, you can have it all

       B            C#
   But greed raises oceans too

            D#m            A# 
   When the glacier of our broken dreams

   B             C#
   Melts in your champagne glass

           Fm                 C
   Someone knocks on your door four times

   Db           Eb
   Sand in your hourglass

         Fm             C
   Every grain is a day, falling

   Db           Eb
   Finding it's rightful place
[SOLO] D#m A#m B C# D#m A#m B C# [BRIDGE]
          D#m                   A#m
   If you want it all, you can have it all

       B            F#     
   But greed raises oceans too

            D#m            A#m
   When the glacier of our broken dreams

   B             F#        
   Melts in your champagne glass

         D#m                 A#m
   Do we need it all, we can have it all

       B                F#     
   Our greed will raise oceans soon

           B              C#  
   And the glacier of our human dream

   D#m           F#                     B    C#   D#m  F# 
   Gone with the champagne glass in the sea
(Spoken outro repeats last B C# D#m F# three times, ends 4th on D#m)
