[Intro 1]
[G][Em][E][G][E][G][Bm][A]

[Verse 1]
I [G]could
use some understand[E]ing
[G]But couldn't we [E]all?
[G]I'm gonna put myself in [Bm]your
shoes and walk [A]tall[Asus2][A]
[G]Once I tried to be a los[E]er
[G]There's money there [E]too
[G]There's a myth -maker's
[Bm]market to bury you
[A]Of [G]the night,
I say [E]nothing [G]that isn't old
and cliche
[E]But [G]when I wake up in the mor[Bm]ning,
it's a [A]real
[G]The patient voice of the an[E]nouncer
Tell[G]s me what h[Gm]our is bes[E]t
[G]But what time it is in rea[Bm]l time
Can you [A]guess?
[Em]The clock was [Gm]ticking,
moon [G]shad[D]ows off the [Bm]walls
[Em]An d I was d[Gm]reaming of
[D]Hawaiian waterfall[Bm]s
[Em]An d then I wo[A#]ke to a
business [A]call[G#]
[G]Take a look at these new fig[E]ures,
[G]they can't possibly be [E]right
[G]They say the whole thing's gonna [Bm]fall down,
[A]overnight
[G]Maybe I'm overreacting,
[E]or [G]just acting out[E]
[G]But there's a lot of bad [Bm]actors
with some heavy [A]clout
[G]They say the end is com[E]ing
[G]But it's not really [E]here
[G]What's gonna happen in
[Bm]the meantime is what I [A]fear
[G]They're going to load us down with
[E]software and [G]virtual [E]reality
[G]They think our systems are com[Bm]patible
but in real time don't [A]agree
[Em]The clock was tick[G]ing,
[Gm]moon[G] shadows o[D]f the wall[Bm]
[Em]And I was [G]dreaming o[Gm]f[G]
[D]Hawaiian water[Bm]falls
[Em]An d then I wo[A#]ke to a business c[A]all
I [G#]see [G]the future through sta[E]ined glass,
and [G]hearing aids for [E]the young, a [G]universe of
aging [Bm]celebrities on the run[A].
[G]It's made for
TV movies,
[E]repackage[G]d compact dis[E]cs
[G]They call it home entertain[Bm]ment,
it's the same old [A]shit
[G]Why don't we try to get [E]quiet
an[G]d try to read a b[E]ook
[G]It don't matter if it's the
Bib[Bm]le or learning how to c[A]ook
[G]Andy said, come the fu [E]ture,
there's [G]15 minutes of [E]fame
[G]You wanna be famous in [Bm]real time,
you gotta be in[A]sane
[Em]The clock was [Gm]ticking,
[G]moon shad[D]ows off the [Bm]wall
[Em]And I was [G]dreaming o[Gm]f
[G]Hawaii[D] an wa[Bm]terfalls
[Em]And then I w[A#]oke to a business call
[A][G#][G][E][G][E][G]
Thank you for[Em]watch
[E]ing[G]![E][G]
