[Verse 1]
G           G/D  D
Wake up you sleepy head
Esus4                     Em
Put on some clothes shake off your bed
G                      D
Put another log on the fire for me
A                            E
I've made some breakfast and coffee
G                   D
Look out my window, what do I see
B/D#                     Em           G7/F   C/E
A crack in the sky and a hand reaching down to me
        A7/E             D7
All the nightmares came today
                               G          C#dim7  D  D#dim7  E  B/F#  F#
And it looks as though they're here to stay
 
[Verse 2]
G           G/D  D
What are we coming to
Esus4            Em
No room for me no fun for you
G              D
I think about a world to come
          A                      E
Where the books were found by the Golden Ones
G               D
Written in pain written in awe
     B/D#            Em        G7/F             C/E
By a puzzled man who questioned what we were here for
        A7/E           D7
All the strangers came today
                               G
And it looks as though they're here to stay
 
[Chorus 1]
G      Bm/F#         Em7
Oh you pretty things
          G7/D                   C                  G
Don't you know you're driving your mamas and papas insane?
G     Bm/F#         Em7
Oh you pretty things
          G7/D                   C                  G
Don't you know you're driving your mamas and papas insane?
       A7
Let me make it plain
D7                     C7            G
Gotta make way for the homo superior
 
[Verse 3]
G           G/D  D
Look out at your children
Esus4             Em
See their faces in golden rays
G                      D
Don't kid yourself they belong to you
A                       E
They're the start of the coming race
G                    D
The earth is a bitch, we've finished our news
B/D#          Em    G7/F       C/E
Homo sapiens have outgrown their use
        A7/E           D7
All the strangers came today
                               G
And it looks as though they're here to stay
