Em                   Am
All hell's crashing down inside
                  B7
The windows to the other side
                Em             B7
Shimmering in rooms to quiet sighs of

Am                   Am
'Oh well if it's happening there
                      B7
It isn't here', and god appears to deal
                   Em            B7
A different hand to different tiers

Dm          G        C          C/B
But this play is not over yet
               Am             G
Hear the music of those marionettes
         F
Beating drums down the quiet streets
  B7
Of ignorance and vain regrets

solo: Em Am B7 Em B7

Em                    Am
And all these fears swiftly come to pass
                    B7
Presently she feels we're past
                 Em           B7
Cups of tea and optimistic prayers

    Em                Am
Cos out there's our unholy mess
               B7
Gathering its long white dress
                   Em            B7
And marching down aisle to marry this

Dm       G       C         C/B
Matrimonial future bliss
                   Am                G
Kiss the tide and hope it doesn't lift up your
F                     B7
Carpet woven from apathy and token frets

All Hell!

Dm          G        C          C/B
But this play is not over yet
               Am             G
Hear the music of those marionettes
         F
Beating drums down the quiet streets
  B7
Of ignorance and vain regrets
