G                                     C
There's miles of land in front of us
                                           Em
And we're dying with every step we take
                                         D
We're dying with every breath we make
                       G
And I'll fall in line
                                  C
The stranger's back is all I see
                                     Em
He's only a few feet in front of me
                                 D
And I'll look left and right sometimes
                  G
But I'll fall in line
                         C
No one looks up anymore
                                            Em
Cause you might get a rain drop in your eye
                                D
And heaven forbid they see you cry
                G
As we fall in line
                                   C
And about this time of every year
                                    Em
The line will go to the ocean pier
                             D
And walk right off into the sea
                       G
And then we fall asleep.

( G  C  Em  D )
( G  C  Em  D )

G                               C
And as we near the end of land,
                                                Em
And our ocean graves are just beyond the sand.
                             D                    G
I ask myself the question, "Why... I fall in line?"

                                  C
Then out of the corner of my eye
                              Em
I see a spaceship in the sky 
                           D
and hear a voice inside my head
                      C   G   D
"Follow me instead"
                      C   G   D
"Follow me instead"
                      C   G   D
"Follow me"
 
( G   C   Em   D )

G                                 C
Then the wages of war will start
                                    Em
Inside my head with my counterparts
                                                      D
And the emotionless marchers will chant the phrase
                            G
"This line's the only way"
                                C
And then I start down the sand
                                       Em
My eyes are focused on the end of land
                               D
But again the voice inside my head says
                      C   G   D
"Follow me instead"
                      C   G   D
"Follow me instead"
                      C   G   D
"Follow me"
                      C   G   D
"Follow me instead"
                      C   G   D
"Follow me instead"
                      C   G   D
"Follow me instead"
                      C   G   D
"Follow me instead"
                      C   G   D
"Follow me instead"


G                         C
Take me up, Seal the door
                                 Em
I don't wanna march here anymore
                             D
I realize that this line is dead
                       G
So I'll follow you instead
                                    C
So then you put me back in my place
                             Em
So I might start another day
                         D
And once again I will be

In a march to the sea
