[Verse 1]
D                            G
 Well I heard they built an island in the pacific
D                 G
   Size of texas, made of plastic
D                           G                          Bm                    A     A
 Well I heard they built a bomb that could mow us all down that won't make a sound
D                         G
 Well I heard they built a monument to broken things
D                         G
   To money, power, fame, all brings
D                         G                         Bm                  A         A
 Where people gather 'round in their diamond rings, hoping things start spreading


[Chorus]
              D        A
While another day goes by
               Bm                     G
There's famous aimless and I don't know why
          D                               A                 Bm                          G
On our screens, in our dreams, in our magazines, shine so bright like the stars in the sky
                   D      A
So tell me what it is I know
                   Bm                       G
I must be missing something but I'm not so sure
                   D                            A
So tell me all the days, all the ways, all the time it takes
          Bm                             G
All the real, all the fakes, where this show
      D   G
Will go?

[Verse 2]
        D                                 G
Well I heard they found a message written on the sun
       D                             G
Said 'love's the only way to end what we begun'
  D                         G
They're keeping it a secret, got a race to run
Bm            A
More money to come
D                       G
Well I saw my baby born, saw my father die
D                       G
I felt a cold wind blow, heard my mother cry
D                   G
Stood in a hurricane, lay under the sky
Bm           A
Found a road, kept treading


[Chorus]
              D        A
While another day goes by
               Bm                     G
There's famous aimless and I don't know why
          D                               A                 Bm                          G
On our screens, in our dreams, in our magazines, shine so bright like the stars in the sky
                   D      A
So tell me what it is I know
                   Bm                       G
I must be missing something but I'm not so sure
                   D                            A
So tell me all the days, all the ways, all the time it takes
          Bm                             G
All the real, all the fakes, where this show
      D   G
Will go?

[Bridge]
Em                    D
If we keep running to escape
Em                     D
Going in circles, finding ways
Em                     D
To envy, conspire, covet, hate
Em
Then we'll just be wasting our time
A
Falling in line, heeding no sign
Em                       D
Stuck neither asleep nor awake
