This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

LYRICS:

liquids and crumbling solids,

we're just chemicals,

breaching inner discourse,

the handicap clouds,

pour wealth, you slave,

dance bitch, you're gonna dance,

and i am the vapour,

i am the vapour...

i knew it would come to this,

you're just comfort, not support,

and i'm tasting your success,

you've fucked up, going nowhere,

and it's over...

long time walking,

practising to speak,

calling it off,

we'll never hear the same song,

being held,

and wanting down,

you couldn't hold up right,

and i'll be damned if i teach you,

you will never know...

i never knew you,

i never knew you,

colliding in the crowds,

i don't want to know...
