They Swallowed the Sun Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]They [D]burned the wor[F]ld[D][C#m][D]
And swallowed [F]the sun[Dm][C#m][D]
They take from [C#m]everything
[D]And care for [G]no one
[D]They study our [F]rage[C#m][D]
So they rattle our [D5]cage[D][C#m][D]
But when they were [F]gone[D][C#m]
[D]That's [D5]the day w[C#m]e came of [G]age[D]

[Verse 2]
But what can you [F]say
When the loam and the foam
has [B5]all been boiled away
[Bm]And the [D]oceans a[F]re dust
You [Eb]walk for five days to
[G]the mountains of rust
And [D]where can you [F]go?
This land is forsaken and
[B5]nothing will grow
[Bm]And all the [D]gods k[F]now
That the suffering of Earth makes
[F5]a pretty [G]good [D]show

[Verse 3]
Somehow we [E]survived[D][C#m][D]
We hunted [D5]we t[D]hrived[C#m][D]
The first to [D5]eat
[C#m]We wer[D]e always the
[C#m]last o[G]nes to d[D]ie
We conquered a [C#m]world[D]
While they waited [C#m]below[D]
Molten tracks in the [C#m]snow
[D]Return to [D5]the Masters [C#m]too
well did [G]we [D]know

[Verse 4]
The locks off [D]the door
Detrit[F]us of science is
heaped cross the floor
[Fm]This junk only works
when the power is on
For [Bm]five hundred years the [B5]grid
has been [Bm]gone[D]
Electronic art
[Dm]Ended [F]up lasting as long as a fart
[Fm]But that's what you get when
you love with no heart
[G]Bending to ending as [F]soon
as [D]it [G]starts

[Verse 5]
[D]They created life
It should [C#m]never be that [D]way
[F]A bil[D]l for you to bear that
[C#m]they never meant to [D]pay[F]
[D]They went underground
[E]It was really [D]rude
Because they took [F]all the girls
[E]and the guns and [E5]had food
[C5]Stem [D]cells and cloning and fuc[C#m]king
[D]an [Dm]ape[D][C#m][D][D5]
But [D]it's not enough I [E]must reach beyond
[D5]Commune [D]with the L[F]oiGoi and
[E]become [Bb]a God[C]

[Verse 6]
[D]They swallowed
[C#m]We fol[D5]lowe[D]d[Eb]
[D]They swallowed
They swallowed the [Ab]sun[Ab5]
[D]They swallowed
[D#]We followed
[D]They swallowed
They've only just [G#5]begun[G#][G#5][D]

[Verse 7]
The children were [E]born[D][C#m][D]
The children they [D5]died[Dm][C#m][D]
When you live in the [E]wasteland[D][C#m]
[D]Only [C#m]the strong will survive
[D]Remade the rac[F]e[D][C#m][D]
With the science [F]of sin[Dm][D]
Create a [F]creature[Dm]
We [Dm]all c[F]an j[G]oin [D]in

[Verse 8]
we know where they [F]are[G#]
We hunt [G#5]them b[B5]y night[Bm][D]
They are dead by [F]morning
Our schedules are [C#5]tight![G5][G]
[D]Twenty hot chicks for [C#m]every old [D]man...
[F]Tha[D]t was the plan,
[C#m]the chicks would [D]eat spam
Or maybe pink [E]slime[F]
[D5]I don'[D]t know what they cal i[F]t
but they [E]eat it all [Bb]the time[C]

[Verse 9]
[D]They swallowed
We [Eb]fol l[D]owed
They swallowed
They swalloed the [D5]sun
[D]
Viagra amd meth
And stem cells and death
They sucked on the stock- pile [Eb]til there
was nothing [D]left
Vampiric cybernetic harbinger of hate

[Verse 10]
[E][C#m][D]
With the sci[D5]ence [D]of [F]sin[C#m][D]
[A]Cre[D5] ate a cr[D]ea[F]ture[Dm][D]
We [Ab5]all ca[D]n join in[E][C#m]
