[Intro 1]
[Am][A][Am][Em][D][Am]
[G][Am][G][Am][Em][F]
[Am][G][Am][Em]
[F][Am][G][Em][G][C]

[Verse 1]
I am [C]a man
You fell down [Fm]from that apple tree
The other day with me
[Am]

[Verse 2]
We had [Fm]already forgotten
We one day crawled up
From [C]the sea

[Verse 3]
Imagine [C]now
If we one [Fm]day could build
A flying contraption and see the world

[Verse 4]
What [Am]if we could somehow
Store knowledge in a cloud
Draw a [G#]smiling face on the moon

[Verse 5]
Find the meaning of life
[C]Riding the crest of [G]our time
With bravado, soon complete
[F]Will we [C]see a new one
rise be[G]hind us
[F]A new chance, a [G]new world

[Verse 6]
Our [Am]wave[Esus4]
[E]It's about [F]to break[C]
[G]And we're about to [Am]dive
in [E]the void
[Esus4]It echoes[E] our fall[F][G]
Our [Em]paean [G]to av[Am]arice
[Em]I think we're closer

[Verse 7]
[F]
[Am]to an an[G] i[Am]mal
[Em]Every day,[F] till we fall...
[Am][G]

[Verse 8]
[C]
Can you believe
We have all those eye[Fm]s
high in the sky
And we can now see the world

[Verse 9]
One thing [Am]truly makes me blind
The wisdom of hindsight
The [G#]eye in my own hand

[Verse 10]
[C]Riding the crest of [G]our time
With bravado, soon complete
[F]Will we [C]see a new one
rise be[G]hind us
[F]A new chance, a [G]new world
[Am]

[Verse 11]
[Em]I think I'm cl[G]oser[F]
[G]to an animal[Am]
[Em]Every day,[F] till I fall[G]...

[Verse 12]
If you [Bm]want it all
You can [F#]have it all
But [G]greed raises [A]oceans too

[Verse 13]
When [Bm]the glacier of
Our [F#]broken dreams
[G]Melts in your [A]champagne glass

[Verse 14]
Someone [C#m]knocks on your [F#m]door
[G#]Four times...
[A]Sand in [B]your hour glass

[Verse 15]
Every [C#m]grain is a day [G#]falling
[A]Finding it's [B]rightful [Bm]place

[Interlude 1]
[F#m][G][A]
[Bm][F#m][G][A]

[Verse 16]
If you [A]want [Bm]it all
You can have [F#m]it all
But [G]greed raises ocean
[A]s t[F#m]oo[A]

[Verse 17]
When the [A]glaci[Bm]er of
Your [F#m]broken [F#]dreams
[G]Melts in your cham[D]pagne [A]glass

[Verse 18]
Do we [Bm]need it all
[F#m]We can have it all
[G]Our greed will raise [D]ocean[A]s soon

[Verse 19]
And the [G]glacier of
Our [A]human dream
[Bm]Gone with the [F#m]cham pagne glass
In [G]the sea

[Verse 20]
[G]"I am [A]a man
In the grand scheme of things
[Bm]Only minutes have passed
Since I crawled up [F#m]from the sea
But already
I've built [G]a flying contraption
[A]And seen the world
I've drawn [Bm]a smiley face on the moon
And stored knowledge [F#m]in a cloud
...What a won[G]derful gift our mind is.
But why am I us[A]ing ot
To destroy [Bm]this beautiful planet...
[Bm]My only home.
If it [F#m]defines me, if it makes [G]me a human,
I need to get closer to my
[Bm]inner animal."
