Bm
You can tell the past, boy, I can tell the future
            Bm
Give me a lobotomy and I can be your tutor
            Bm
Open up the blast doors, then we can be neutered
                 Bm
I can smell your fingerprints all over my computer

                   Bm
So give me all the black-brown sticky sugar water
                   Bm
Swing you by your neck, mama, this can be your future
                Bm
Something very strange about your picture in the mirror
              Bm
When you move, it doesn't move - now how could that be weirder?

                    G                               Em
Just keep on rubbernecking, yeah, whatever feels familiar
              Bm                    A
I can send my brain on a holiday forever
               G                              Em
You can fire a rocket at a rocket, it's the future
                 Bm                              A
If you weren't already dead, I wouldn't have to school ya

[Pre Chorus]
    G           A      Bm         A/C#
You say you're gonna change, yeah-eh
        G          A    Bm        A/C#
But you don't have any time, yeah-eh-eh-eh

[Chorus]
G          
Down in my beast heart
A
I build an empire
    Bm
Whenever I'm blind I

Open my wild eye
G          
Down in my beast heart
A
I build an empire
    Bm
Whenever I'm blind I

Open my wild eye


[Verse 2]
                  Bm
Go tell it to the plain clothed officer behind us
                Bm
What are you, a master of disguise and keeping silent?
             Bm
Drop another depth charge, coiling like a viper
                Bm
Eyes so close together make it harder for the sniper

                 Bm
Shoot a starving porno for the yuppies in a circle
              Bm
Second death upon you swimming backwards like a turtle
              Bm
Man, I really trusted you, I thought you were civilian
                Bm
I could shove a magnet in your mouth and make a million
               
                     G                           Em
So did you pack your bag or did somebody pack it for you?
               Bm                           A
Take me to the sad, sad, party that you're bound to
                 G                            Em
Whether you're a have not or a have I got a question
               Bm                               A
Are you living dead or is this some kind of possession?


[Pre Chorus]
    G           A      Bm         A/C#
You say you’re gonna change, yeah?
        G          A    Bm        A/C#
But you don’t have any time, yeah?


[Chorus]
G          
Down in my beast heart
A
I build an empire
    Bm
Whenever I'm blind I

Open my wild eye
G          
Down in my beast heart
A
I build an empire
    Bm
Whenever I'm blind I

Open my wild eye

[Break]
G
Down in my beast heart
A
I build an empire
Bm
Whenever I'm blind I...
                            Bm  G  Em   A
I hear the death rattle of a time wasted
Bm G  Em  A     Bm G  Em  A
Time wasted,    time wasted
    Bm             G
You know that I believe in it (Time wasted)
    Em            A
You know that I believe in it
    Bm G  Em  A
But I'm  wasted 



[Pre Chorus]
    G           A      Bm         A/C#
You say you’re gonna change, yeah?
        G          A    Bm        A/C#
But you don’t have any time, yeah?
    G           A      Bm         A/C#
You say you’re gonna change, yeah?
        G          A    Bm        A/C#
But you don’t have any time, yeah?


[Chorus]

Beast heart

Blind I

Wild eye

Down in my beast heart

Whenever I'm blind I

Open my wild eye

Down in my beast heart
A
I build an empire
Bm
Whenever I'm blind I...
