jumping around
  D        G        F#m   A
thinking about our daily lives
 D   G        F#m   A
here on the ground
 D        G      F#m     A
falling apart before our eyes
 D   G       F#m  A
news is not news
 D              G     F#m  A
learn something old every day
D  G       F#m   A
issues repressed
 D           G        F#m  A
mornings we fake our minds away
     D                             Bm
oh please, don't misuse this information now
    G                            D
oh try not to swallow too much pain, it's only order

 D  G            F#m  A
rushing through time
 D         G        F#m     A
following footsteps out of here

signals ahead
 D        G        F#m        A
better repay your debts this year
D   G         F#m  A
i guess i'll go
D           G        F#m     A
on with my sad and troubled ways
 D    G      F#m  A
hands on my hips
  D         G        F#m    A
questioning each and every face
     D                             Bm
oh please, don't misuse this information now
    G                            D
oh try not to swallow too much pain, it's only order
