Keeps going round the room  
                      Am  
Keeps going round the room  
                           G 
And I follow it around the room  
                           F

                           Am    G 
And I follow it around the room

And I sat there on the steps  
               
Considering death  
G                       Am              C 
There were only seconds left of the night  
                       G 
And I said hell is the sun  
                                 F 
Burning forever at the center of things  
                                Am 
A ball on fire at the center of things  
                                G 
A ball on fire at the center of things 
                                 F 
A brain on fire at the center of things 
                                 Am     G  
A brain on fire at the center of things

Verse 
        G         Em 
And the sea isn?t green  
    G           Em 
And I love this dream  
         G          Em 
But how exactly can we  
 G                     Em 
Escape from behind the wall?
