Capo on 6th fret
              
 
INTRO: Asus4 Cmaj7/E 
 
VERSE I
 
A                    D      C 
 Tower of Babel has fallen down again 
            E 
Information disarray 
A                     D       C 
 I don't know who I should believe in 
                   E 
Everybody?s an authority 
A           D         C 
 Fragments don't count 
                   E 
They always end up falling through the cracks 
A               D    C 
 Don't think out loud 
                          E 
'cause once it's out your mouth, can't take it back 
 
 
A                       
 Can't say all the little things 
D            C                  E 
That I wanna tell you right now 
A       
 I know you won't understand 
D           C                E 
But I gotta tell you somehow 
    A                  D    
And on and on and on I go 
    C                        E  
Connect the neck to what's below I know 
A                   D      C 
 Now your body language is broken 
       E

repeat INTRO 
 
VERSE II
 
A                  D      C 
Lost inside communication breakdown 
            E 
Better just read my lips 
A                  D       C 
 Coming in clearer when we get down 
        E 
Iceberg just the tip 
A         D    C 
 My words get lost 
                 E 
Can you read the look that's on my face? 
A       D    C 
 Wires get crossed 
             E 
In communion with the human race 
 
repeat CHORUS 
 
BRIDGE 
F Am F E 
F Am F E 
 
repeat CHORUS
