C#m                B        A             A9   E     E4   E
The country is destroying itself outside your window
G#m              A             A9  E
Hear the pulsing machines breaking down
G#m                A          A9  E 
See the buildings crumble to the ground

You, perched on the edge
F#m7     F#m             F#m7  B
of your comfortable bed
                  E
Like a beautiful songbird
F#m                  F#m7   
Singing tender songs
F#m                 F#m7   B
Of melancholy hearts
             E
Of love and loss
G#m    C#m    A   A9 E
