        Cm
Imagine this - a kiss from a stranger

                                           G
Making love to someone that you never even met

        G                                                                  Cm
Holding hands with a man on the subway train before you even introduce yourself

        Cm
I had a lover, I left her for another

                                            G
Or maybe it was she who left me for another girl

  G
I can’t quite recall and I thought she’d be appalled

                                       Cm
But she told me it was all the same to her

Ab
Don’t be so sentimental, there’s really nothing new

G
No need to be so modest, no one will notice you

Ab
The game is pre-determined, this is a ship of fools

G
Oh
[Pre-Chorus] Ab G Ab G [Chorus]
           Cm       Ab        Bb               Eb
And as the sun goes down, the beasts will come around

Cm           Ab       Bb          Eb
(no one will save us, no one will save us)

           Cm         Ab           Bb                Eb
We sing a kind of melody that will haunt you in your sleep

Cm            Ab      Bb
(No one will save us, no!)

           Cm          Ab        Bb              Eb
And as the night winds down, the monsters gather round

Cm              Ab             Bb
Who will be the first to offer me to the hounds?

Cm   Ab       Bb         Eb     Cm             Ab       Bb
“Not me,” the voices all agree, so we all will wait and see

        Ab                          Eb
And the beasts will feast like they never done did

Bb                                     Cm
Filling up their bellies while they’re licking their lips

       Ab                            Eb            Bb
And to beg for them to stop was the cherry on top, woah

Ab Eb            Bb             Cm                 Ab
We knew what was waiting for us coming on down the line

Ab     Eb              Bb
But we never seemed to mind

                          Eb
’Til we’re totally out of time

        Cm
Imagine this - the fist of a rebel

                                        G
Held up in defiance and thrust into the sky

       G
Pretty soon it'll spread and take hold of the heads

                                  Cm
of a thousand other simple passer-bys

           Cm
If there’s one thing that I can depend on

              Cm                          G
If there is a single thing I can say I’ve learned

     G
What once had a soul and a purpose and a goal

          G                     Cm
Will only end up as a logo on a shirt

Ab
Don’t be so sentimental, there’s really nothing new

G
No need to be so modest, no one will notice you

Ab
The game is pre-determined, this is a ship of fools

G
Oh
