alot like his sound)

Verse 1:
                      F#
It's a beautiful world but everyone's insane
               B
Either you swim or either you fade
                     F#
It's a revolution time we're sleeping at the wheel
               B
Apocalypse child in a nuclear field
                       F#
We want to change the world but not what holds us back
                  B
I want to be for you what I've never had
                A   F#                             B
And all of this time I was just trying to reach you
            G      A
Through the rain traffic
        D          B
As you float into space
       D                   B
Your white eyes hide your face
        D           B           D
As you float in between - I am with you
 B            F#  B
If you leave
               F#
Fragile to the waves - vicissitude of days
               B
When I am with you I feel a little brave
                    F#
The madness and the wars the circle that we run
               B
Confusion we import look what we have become
                A   F#                          B
And all of this time I was just trying to reach you
           G     A
Through the rain traffic
        D          B
As you float into space
    D          B
You white eyes hide you face
        D           B           D
As you float in between - I die with you
 B                    D
If you leave - as you float

(sorry, don't know the solo, but I think what he's doing is play either the
  6th or 5th or both strings open and moving up and down the 4th one, or
  something like that)


        D          B
As you float into space
          D    B
You white eyes hide you face
        D           B           D
As you float in between - I die with you
 B                    D     B     D  B
If you leave - as you flooooooooooat
      D              B              D         B  D~
I die with you I die with you I die with you


*As with just about all Bush songs, Nigel's "texture" he adds to song
is all over the place...  let me put it this way:
          crapload of work  +  me  =  ain't gonna happen

...anyway, have fun
