E             G   E  A G E G E A
In a purple vision
G    E   G    B     G  E  G E  A->
Many thousand years ago
G   E                   G  E  A G E  G E  A->
  I saw the silent stranger
G E    G   B     G    E
  Walk the earth alone


E               G   E  A G E G E A 
Twenty-seven fac-es
G          E      G    B  G      E  G E  A->
With their eyes turned to the sky
G   E              G  E  A G E  G E  A->
    I've got a cam'ra
G      E   G    B G  E
And an airtight alibi


  E ->
I know they're out there

We see them coming
                  A   A# B
Faster than the speed of light
     E     G  B  G           E
They greet us in the dead of night


C                       Fmaj7
Somewhere, someday, someone
C                           Fmaj7
 There'll be light and sound
C                            B-> 
 They'll alight on the ground
                 Am    G
On which we stand


C                       Fmaj7 
Somewhere, someday, someone
C                       Fmaj7
 Will help us to survive
C                          B`->
 They're gonna show us hell
                       Am
And bring us back alive


D6/A              Am7                  B`/A
     Well, I'm no poet, but I can't be fooled
               Am7                 B`/A
The lies don't count, the whispers do
           Am7             F/A
I hear the whispers on the wind
             E`/A             Dm->
They say the earth has fallen due


Dm 
  We run in circles
C
  Our days are numbered
      B`
Every night I look away
       Am                  Dm->
To the heavens and I pray


          C  B` 
Come to us
          Am   
Come to us

E--G|E-A G|E--G|E-A G|


    E              G
Our lights are dim
    E             A     G E  G E  A
Our roads are crumbling
G      E     G    B    G  E  G  E  A G->
And we don't know what to do
      E        
We're sick and tired
G   E            A   G E  G E  A
And dying to meet you
 G        E   G   B    G
'Cause we bit off more than
       E
We can chew
