Chorus chords (these voicings give you the violin notes on the
top strings, especially if you ditch the Ebm7 for the Eb5 in
brackets. The Gbmaj11 needs your thumb for the bass string.

Where the chord change is on a half measure, the two chords are
connected by a hyphen (with spaces), e.g. Ebm7 - Gbmaj11.
Otherwise, each chord is one measure; if a chord is played for two
measures, it's written in twice, except for the outro, where the
timing becomes fluid – you're on your own there.

Intro

Ooh, He - ey, oh
What we're living in, let me tell ya 

Verse 1

It's a wonder man can eat at all
When things are big that should be small
Who can tell what magic spells
Will be doing for us?
And I'm giving all my love to this world
Only to be told
I can't see, I can't breathe,
Bb7#5 Ebm7 – Gbmaj11
no more will we be
And nothing's going to change the way we live
Cos' we can always take but never give
An' now that things're changing for the worse, see
Woah,
It's a crazy world we're living in
And I just can't see that
Half of us immersed in sin is all we have to give these

Chorus 1

Bmaj7 Ddim7 Ebm7 - Gbmaj7 Abm7 - Bb7
Futures made of virtu - al insani - ty now
Bmaj7 Ddim7 Ebm7 - Gbmaj7 Abm7 - Bb7
Always seem to be governed by this love we have for
Bmaj7 Ddim7 Ebm7 - Gbmaj7 Abm7 - Bb7
Useless, twisting of the new techno - logy
Bmaj7 Ddim7 Ebm7 - Gbmaj7 Abm7 – Bb7
Oh, now there is no sound, for we all live under - ground

Verse 2

And I'm thinking what a mess we're in
Hard to know where to begin
If I could slip the sickly ties
Bb7#5 - Dm7b5 Ebm7 – Gbmaj7
That earthly man has made
And now every mother can choose the colour
Bmaj7 Bb7#5 – Dm7b5 Ebm7 - Gbmaj7
Of her child, that's not nature's way
Well that's what they said yesterday
There's nothing left to do but pray
Bmaj7 Bb7#5 - Dm7b5 Ebm7 – Gbmaj7
I think it's time I found a new eligion, wo - ah,
it's so insane to synthesize another strain
Cm7b5 Bmaj7 Bb7#5 – Dm7b5
There's something in these futures that we have to be told

Chorus 2

Bmaj7 Ddim7 Ebm7 - Gbmaj7 Abm7 - Bb7
Futures made of virtu - al insani - ty now
Bmaj7 Ddim7 Ebm7 - Gbmaj7 Abm7 - Bb7
Always seem to be governed by this love we have for
Bmaj7 Ddim7 Ebm7 - Gbmaj7 Abm7 - Bb7
Useless, twisting of the new techno - logy
Bmaj7 Ddim7 Ebm7 - Gbmaj7 Abm7 – Bb7
Oh, now there is no sound, for we all live under - ground

Chorus 3

Bmaj7 Ddim7 Ebm7 - Gbmaj7 Abm7 - Bb7
Now there is no sound if we all live under-ground
And now it's virtual insanity
Ebm7 - Gbmaj7 Abm7 - Bb7
Forget your virtual real - ity
Bmaj7 Ddim7 Ebm7 - Gbmaj7 Abm7 - Bb7
Oh, there's nothing so bad. I know ye - ah
