Mariana Trench Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Wel[A]l they'd better[D] save
some space [Em]for me
In that [F#m]growing cottage
in[G]dustry
[A]Where selfish[F#]ness is cur[Bm]rency
People [G]spend more than they make

[Verse 2]
So [D]I wrapped my head in [Em]bandages
From [F#m]a string of happy ac[G]cidents
I [A]guess maybe [F#m]I aske[Bm]d for it
But [G]who am I to say

[Verse 3]
[G]The clos[F#sus4]ing bell death t[F#]olls
Hear the mar[Bm]ket [A]crash
A crying [G]trader swears he'll
get [A]out of [D]the game
[A]The cow[D]boy [A]drink[F#m] s him
[F#sus4]self to de[F#]ath
Fresh out [Bm]of r[E]ehab
While [G]they're loading all
the rifles on the range
[A]

[Verse 4]
Look up [D]at that Everest
Look down in that [G]Mariana Trench
Look now as the [Bm]crumbling
405 falls down
When [A]the big one hits
Look out for [D]the plainclothes
Look out for [G]what the wiretap knows
Look out on the [Bm]ever-widening money
money trail and where it [A]goes

[Interlude 1]
[A][D]

[Verse 5]
It takes a [D]lot of gall
To try [Em]to please
These de[F#m]humanizing en[G]tities
I be[A]friended [F#]all my en[Bm]emies
They had my [G]back against the wall

[Verse 6]
Oh [D]a coward is
What a cow[Em]ard does
I sup[F#m]pose maybe I alw[G]ays was
But I'm [A]sick of it
[F#m]I've h[Bm]ad enough
And now I'm [G]ready for the war

[Verse 7]
The [G]li [F#]on bows his head down
To the [Bm]ringm[A]aster
With the [G]tightrope stretched so [A]high
Above the [D]crowd[A]
All these [F#m]faces [F#sus4]are contortion[F#]ists
It [Bm]must have [E]hurt
Because they [G]all looked as unhappy
As a clown
[A]

[Verse 8]
Look [D]long at that Stonehenge
Look quick is [G]it something you missed
Look in to [Bm]that smoldering
building's bombed out fog
Until it [A]finally lifts
Look up at that [D]big wave
Look down at your [G]other
brother's grave
Look hard for a [Bm]harder
something to sacrifice
That's what it [A]takes
That's what [Em]it takes
[Bm]That's what it takes[A][F#m][A][Em]
That's [G]what it [A]takes[F#m][A][Em][A][Em]
[G]That's what it tak[F#m]es

[Interlude 2]
[F#m][A][G][A]
Look up at [D]that

[Verse 9]
Everest
Look down in [G]that Mariana Trench
Look now as [Bm]the crumbling 405 falls down
Oh when the [A]big one hits
Look out for the [D]plainclothes
Speak soft what [G]the wiretap knows
Look out on that [Bm]ever-widening
money money trail
And where it [A]goes

[Outro 1]
Where does it go?
[D]
