G#m           G                 B
Watching the girl straddle the world
               F#                      G#m
Just like the snake that swallows it's tail
                    G                   B
You know that I've been where I wasn't seen
            F#
Kissing temptation under the veil

[Interlude]
G#m G B F#  x2

[Verse 2]
G#m     G                  B
I was alone, walking back home
                 F#                   G#m
When she reached out and took hold of me
                G                B
Shook my sense out, said not to doubt
              F#
That we were naked, you can never go home

[Chorus]
G#m             G
Still the sirens, sing a whale song
B           F#
Covered up by machinery hum
G#m                  G
While we're kept here, separated
B                   F#
And banging on our windows

[Verse 3]
G#m           G                 B
Said we were pent up in an accident
           F#                      G#m
Verging on nowhere, oh, we gonna spread
              G                B
Spreading it wide, breaking inside
                 F#
With no past to cling to, to turn back the tide

[Chorus]
G#m                G
Let the screen fall, 'til the heart stalls
B                 F#
Let your chain out, keep your control
G#m                  G
While we're kept here, insatiated
B                F#
By the needs we've fabricated

[Solo]
G#m G B F#    x4

[Chorus]
G#m             G
Still the sirens, sing a whale song
B           F#
Covered up by machinery hum
G#m                  G
While we're kept here, domesticated
B                   F#
And banging on our windows

[Verse 4]
G#m           G                 B
Watching the girl straddle the world
               F#                      G#m
Just like the snake that swallows it's tail
                    G                   B
You know that I've been where I wasn't seen
            F#               G#m
Kissing temptation under the veil

[Outro]
       G           B           F#
Veil, veil, veil, veil, veil, veil, veil
G#m          G           B           F#
Veil, veil, veil, veil, veil, veil, veil, veil
G#m          G           B           F#
Veil, veil, veil, veil, veil, veil, veil
