| G#m     | F#m     |
| E       | E       | E     | E     |
| G#m     | A       | E     | E     |
| G#m     | F#m     | E     | E     |
| G#m     | B       |


[Verse 1]
G#m                     A                G#m
   I think it's fair to say that I chose hopelessness
      E
And inflicted it on the rest of us
       C#m                G#m           F#m        A
But at least I've come to terms with my own mortality
   C#m
We search for different ways
   E
To make it through the wall
  G#m      A        B
Resign our parents' interests

Will one day be our own


[Chorus]
       E
Oh, we wait at ease, oh, we wait to see
           E                  A
Oh, we are waiting here for catastrophe
       E
Oh, we wait at ease, oh, we wait to see
           E                  A
Oh, we are waiting here for catastrophe


[Interlude]
| C#m     | C#m     | G#m     | B      |


[Verse 2]
G#m                        A
   The guy singing all the sad songs died
           G#m
Oh well, I guess he was right
      E
Oh, I guess he was right
   F#m            C#m
We learn together over time
     G#m          F#m       A
That tolerance is more appealing
   E              C#m
In theory than in practice
    E
I identify my star sign
   A               C#m          B
By asking which is least compatible with yours


[Chorus]
       E
Oh, we wait at ease, oh, we wait to see
           E                  A
Oh, we are waiting here for catastrophe
       E
Oh, we wait at ease, oh, we wait to see
           E                  A
Oh, we are waiting here for catastrophe


[Interlude]
| E     | E     | E     | E     |


[Bridge]
      C#m
And a room full of vacuum
                   A           E
And a room full of air look the same
C#m                A
You have not been reborn
            C#m                               B
They've just   painted your face, painted the walls


[Verse 3]
A                                E
Message sent to so far unreached peoples
                       A
I think they've got it in for us
                       E
I think they've got it in for us
A                                    E
How you break the rules that you yourself imposed
                    C#m
Think you've got it in for us
                      F#m         B
I think you've got it in for yourselves


[Chorus]
       E
Oh, we wait at ease, oh, we wait to see
           E                  A
Oh, we are waiting here for catastrophe
       E
Oh, we wait at ease, oh, we wait to see
           E                  A     E
Oh, we are waiting here for catastrophe


[Bridge]
      C#m
And a room full of vacuum
                   A           E
And a room full of air look the same
C#m                A
You have not been reborn
            C#m                       E       C#m     E
They've just   painted your face, painted the walls


[Outro]
             C#m  E             C#m     E
Painted your face,  painted the walls


| C#m     | C#m     | E     | E     |  x2

C#m             E                 A
   Painted your face, painted the walls
             E
Painted your face
