Intro G D Am C/G (2x) G D Am C/G Deep down in the underground, atoms spinning round and round G D Am C/G Scientists monitor readings G D Am C/G Searching for the Holy Grail, the particle or at least the tale G D Am A Of the one who gives the universe its meaning. C/G G D Em (lift fingers off 4 & 5 string & play) But what if there's nothing, no big answer to find? (open for run up to C/G) C/G G D What if we're just passing through time? F C/G G No one knows nothing anymore F C/G G Nobody really knows the score F C/G G Nobody knows anything F C/G A Let's break it down and start again G D What happens when the markets drop, Am C/G If the numbers really don't add up? G D Am C/G Everyone seeks the safe haven. G D And as they contemplate their ruin, Am C/G The self-proclaimed smartest people in the room G D Am A Are trying very hard not to sound craven C/G G D Em (lift fingers off 4 & 5 string & play) But what if there's nothing, no pot of gold to find? (open for run up to C/G) C/G G D Only the blind leading the blind. F C/G G No one knows nothing anymore F C/G G Nobody really knows the score F C/G G Nobody knows anything F C/G A Let's break it down and start again Cmaj7 Let's stop pretending * Cmaj7 (* Walkdown on 6 string from 3 to 2 to open,then onto) We can manage our way out of here. (Em chord and then play open then onto Cmaj7 chord) * Let's stop defending the indefensible. Cmaj7 Let's stop relying on * The lecturing of the experts A Whose spin just makes our plight incomprehensible. G D Am C/G High up on a mountain top, somebody with a skinhead crop G D Am C/G Is thinking deep thoughts for us all. G D Am C/G Serenity is all around, but if you listen you can hear the sound G D Am A Of one head being banged against the wall. C/G G D Em (lift fingers off 4 & 5 string & play) But what if our ancestors had stayed up in the trees (open for run up to C/G) C/G G D Who'd be sleeping weighed down by these worries? F C/G G No one knows nothing anymore F C/G G Nobody really knows the score F C/G G Nobody knows anything F C/G A Let's break it down and start again
