  Bm                       D 
I look down from my window 
        G 
To the island where I'm held 
Bm                      D 
Listen while you're sleeping 
G 
Darkness is itself 
 
  Bm              D 
Tomorrow I am disappearing 
          G 
Cause the trees are amplified 
Bm           D 
Never ending broadcasts 
         G  
To which I cannot aspire 
 
Dm        Bb 
Kid the mausoleum's fallen 
        C 
And the perfect avenues 
Will seem empty without you 
         Eb                              Gm  
And the pink light that bathes the great leaders 
   F 
is fading 
       Bb 
By the time your sun is rising there 
    C 
Out here it's turning blue 
The silver rockets coming 
        Eb                 Gm 
And the cherry trees, Pyongyang, 
     F 
I'm leaving 
 
  Bm                    D 
I feel like I'm floating 
   G 
Persisting autotune 
Bm              D 
never end, roll on 
       G 
To the palace of the doom 
    Bm                   D 
The temperature keeps falling 
     G 
Soon there will be no lights 
       Bm                   D 
Just a red glow of glass coffins 
           G 
Watched by someone through the night 
 
Dm        Bb 
Kid the mausoleum's fallen 
        C 
And the perfect avenues 
Will seem empty without you 
         Eb                              Gm  
And the pink light that bathes the great leaders 
   F 
is fading 
       Bb 
By the time your sun is rising there 
    C 
Out here it's turning blue 
The silver rockets coming 
        Eb                 Gm 
And the cherry trees, Pyongyang, 
     F 
I'm leaving

(Soon there will be no light, someone through the night) 
 
Dm        Bb 
Kid the mausoleum's fallen 
        C 
And the perfect avenues 
Will seem empty without you 
         Eb                              Gm  
And the pink light that bathes the great leaders 
   F 
is fading 
       Bb 
By the time your sun is rising there 
    C 
Out here it's turning blue 
The silver rockets coming 
        Eb                 Gm 
And the cherry trees, Pyongyang, 
     F 
I'm leaving
