A           E     F#m      D       A     E
Where are we? And what the hell is going on? 
    F#m      D    A      E      F#m        
The dust has only just begun to fall
     D             A       E        F#m    D
Crop circles in the carpet, sinking, feeling

A        E      F#m      D      A 
Spin me 'round again and rub my eyes
     E        F#m   D
This can't be happening
     A    E        F#m       D
When busy streets amass with people 
              A          E        F#m  D
Would stop to hold their heads heavy

[Chorus]
         D
Hide and seek
F#m    E   F#m    E D
Trains and sewing machines
A    E      F#m      D           
Oily marks appear on walls
      A        E       F#m    D
Where pleasure moments hung before
    A    E        F#m        D         A        E      F#m  D
The takeover, the sweeping insensitivity of this still life

[Verse 2]
A        D
Hide and seek
F#m    E   F#m    E D
Trains and sewing machines
A         D
Blood and tears
F#m  E    F#m  D
They were here first

[Verse 3]
          A 
What you say? 
             F#m        E
Mm, that you only meant well? Well, of course you did
D              A
Mmm, what you say? 
              F#m         E
Mm, that it's all for the best? Because it is
D              A
Mmm, what you say? 
              F#m           E
Mm, that it's just what we need? And you decided this
D             A    
Mm, What you say? 
     F#m           E
Mmm, what did you say? 

[Chorus 2]
A                 E
Ransom notes keep falling out your mouth
D
Mid-sweet talk, newspaper word cut-outs
A                 E
Speak no fear, no I don't believe
    D 
You don't care a bit. You don't care a little bit

A                 E
Ransom notes keep falling out your mouth
D
Mid-sweet talk, newspaper word cut-outs
A                 E
Speak no fear, no I don't believe
    D 
You don't care a bit. You don't care a little bit

A                 E
Ransom notes keep falling out your mouth
D
Mid-sweet talk, newspaper word cut-outs
A                 E
Speak no fear, no I don't believe
    D 
You don't care a bit. You don't care a little bit

A                 E
Ransom notes keep falling out your mouth
D
Mid-sweet talk, newspaper word cut-outs
A                 E
Speak no fear, no I don't believe
    D 
You don't care a bit. You don't care a little bit
