traveller's diagram 
            B             A
for where i am for what i am
 G                      F
you can try a visional code
     E                A
overloads, it all explodes

     G            Em
and hey, let's throw the great party 
   D           Am
today for the rest of our lives
     G             Em
the band is just about to get started
     D 
so throw the switch
      Am
it's rock 'n' roll time

 D                     C
force i lead lets us flow
             B            A
and then the onion lady blows
 G                    F                 E
kisses to the crying cooks with baited hooks
          A
and lady looks

     G           Em
and hey, let's throw the great party 
   D            Am
today for the rest of our lives
     G             Em
the band is just about to get started
     D

 A                           Bb
you must be willing just to ride along with me
 A                         Bb
you must be happy just to do the job for free
 A                           Bb
yours for the taking if you follow simple rules
      A                         Bb
such acts of subservience were never taught in schools

C
                             A
spit me out from your cosmos
                           C
draft me into your troops
                             A
set me up for the knockdown
                              C
you can watch, you can watch               
and i'll be back when it's over

G
           C                G
i'm much greater than you think
        C              G
i'm a swimmer in the drink
           C                 G
i'm much greedier than you think
        C              G
i'm a slammer in the drink

           C            G
and oh, mesh gear fox
                                       C               Em
put out another bag of tricks from your scientific box
                  C                         D
time's wasting and you're not gonna live forever

G
     C         G
and if you do
                  C           Em *
i'll come back and marry you
                 C
no use changin' now
                        D
you couldn't anyhow and ever

Em      *     C          G
it's not the way that i feel, that i feel
          D
it's the way you act
          C                        G
it's the way you look when you're near me

Em      *    C          G
it's not so hard to conceal, to conceal
           D
it's the things you say
           C                       G
it's the things you do go right through me

Em * C G D  x2
