Am
To a passage in time,

To a cigarette burn.
C
To  the book that I read,

To the sentence I learn.
G                       Bm
Up and down, going round,
                       F#m     D
Going round 'till we drown again.


[Verse 2]
Am
I'm gonna set myself up,
                       Em
I'm gonna up to the top,

Up to the top, to the top.
                           G
I'm going down to the ground,
                        Bm
Going round, till we drown,
                     F#m        D
Going round till we drown again.


[Chorus]
F                              A
Factory, imitation of life.
F                               A
Factory, we all go out to lunch.
   Dm       Bb     C    Am
A certain rati-  o we know,
     Bb       Gm    Am
Has left us unaware.
Dm       Bb         C     Am
Someone else has taken leave,
Bb       Gm        Am
Someone who did care.
Dm      Bb       C          Am
Ele-    vators just don't crash,
    Bb        Gm       Am
The answer lies within.
Dm      Bb        C       Am
Ele-    vators, ele-    vators,
Bb        Gm      Am
Answer lies within.


[Verse 3]
Am
To the glittering prize,
                    Em
To the fool in the sky.

I've got a jewel in my eye.
                       G
I'm going up, going down,
                       Bm
Going round, till we drown,
                     F#m       D
Going round till we drown again.


[Verse 4]
Am
To the centre of the man,
                   Em
Because he had a plan.

He had a plan to escape,
                         G
But now we've got it on tape.
                  Bm
Going up, coming down,

Going around
                     F#m       D
Going round till we drown again.


[Chorus]
F                              A
Factory, imitation of life.
F                               A
Factory, we all go out to lunch.
   Dm       Bb     C    Am
A certain rati-  o we know,
     Bb       Gm    Am
Has left us unaware.
Dm       Bb         C     Am
Someone else has taken leave,
Bb       Gm        Am
Someone who did care.
Dm      Bb       C          Am
Ele-    vators just don't crash,
    Bb        Gm       Am
The answer lies within.
Dm      Bb        C       Am
Ele-    vators, ele-    vators,
Bb        Gm      Am
Answer lies within.
