[Intro 1]
[Am][Em][Dm][F]
[Am][Em][Dm][F][Am]
Brother [Dm]you look like the Taj Ma

[Verse 1]
[Em]hal
[Dm]One colossal dome above you
And the [F]smell of something other,
A [Dm]pillar and a scimit[Am]ar
A little

[Verse 2]
Yes I miss you like a formless [Em]hide
[Dm]Stretching over me and dangled
From the coastguard in a [F]chopper
The [Dm]scaffold of me all [Em]awry
[Dm]A li[Em]ttle[Am]
Broke your shoulder on the [Em]library steps

[Verse 3]
Hanging round there in the [Dm]dark
Just doing nothing or whatever
What do you mean you saw
[F]the stars?
[Am]You little
I could [Dm]write it in a murder font

[Verse 4]
[Em]
I could say it in a way that
would be [Dm]lying or whatever
I don't want them to tell us apart!
[F]

[Verse 5]
[Eb]
You [Dm]say that I'm an overlord?
[Gm]I've got myself [Dm]a fire hydra[Bb]nt,
with more tyrant,
[Dm]In watery blasts,
than all [Eb]of my past!
You [Dm]seen me on the bridge [Gm]a lot.
But I [Dm]never leapt [Bb]over, the pent upper
[Dm]My numbe[C]r is up , [Dm]my number is up
But infinite and [Eb]joyless little high fives
[Cm]Are singing "praise the [Gm]lord"
And "pitter patter this [Bb]schooling?
Is this schooling?"
And [Dm]"you matter not,
and you matter not"
And is it, the [Eb]flogging
of the [Cm]Flintstone
That I'm supposed [Gm]to be?
The cerebellum get [Bb]schoolin',
and no schoolin'
The [C]drummer goes [Dm]on, the drama
goes on
[Am]

[Verse 6]
[Em]
(Teach me how [Dm]to h[F]old)[Am]

[Verse 7]
And I don't wanna make [Em]a scene
I don't wanna think about the
3rd world [Dm]hunger or whatever
Cos thinking always comes [F]across
A [C]little
There's a meeting of the [Am]worlds tonight

[Verse 8]
[Em]
Right above my head a miracle
the sun erupt forever
[Dm]I barely ever raise my e[F]yes
A little

[Verse 9]
(Teach him how [Am]to hold!)
And [C]oh I wanna make the peace

[Verse 10]
[Em]
And god I gotta be on the train
[Dm]Past the ruins the wall and the
druids oh [F]please[Am]
I'm [C]whining like a braking bus

[Verse 11]
[Em]
Maybe I can sit here and do
nothing [Dm]clever with a laser
I'm not about to open [F]up![Eb]
You say that I'm [Dm]an overlord?

[Verse 12]
[Gm]
[Dm]I've got myself a fire hydra[Bb]nt,
with more [C]tyrant,
In watery blasts, than all of [Dm]my past![Eb]
You [Dm]seen me on the [Bb]bridge [Gm]a lot.
But I [Dm]never leapt [Bb]over, the pent upper
[Dm]My numbe[C]r is up, my [Dm]number is up
But infinite [Eb]and joyless little high fives
are singing "praise [Gm]the lord"
And "pit[Bb]ter patter this schooling?
Is this schooling?"
And [Dm]"you matter not,
and you matter not"
And is it, the [Eb]flogging of the Flintstone
That I'm supposed [Gm]to be?
The cerebel[Bb]lum get schoolin',
and no schoolin'
The [C]drummer goes [Dm]on, the

[Verse 13]
drama goes on
[Dm]The drummer goes on,
[Em]the drama goes on
My number is up,

[Interlude 1]
my number is up
[Em][Bm][Em]
[Am]

[Verse 14]
Earth, I take [Em]a long time,
to learn [C]about the big one
Gor[Em]illa limb [C]swipe and beat,
and I learn nil about
[Em]Earth.
Remember how men,
would understand the [C]heavens
But [Em]leaving those street[C]lights on
you can't see nothing there
[Em][Bm][Em]

[Verse 15]
So learn me anything good
[Bm][Em]

[Verse 16]
Teach me something that [Am]works,
I take [Em]a long time,
To learn about the [C]big one
Gor[Bm]illa [Em]limb swipe and beat,
and I learn [C]dick [Am]about Earth.
[Em]Remember good men,
would understand the heav[C]ens
And [Bm]leaving [Em]those streetlights on
a [C]ghost dark hemisphere [Am]Earth.
I take a long time,
[Em]to learn about the big one
Gorilla limb swipe and beat,
and I learn dick about Earth.
Remember good man,
you under[Em]stand the heavens
But leaving those [Em]streetlights on?
