Humans

	  		
Am 
Love bird, you flew into my window 
    E 
Now in the sticky love nest sits a widow 
Am 
The tree it fell on all the people 
    E   
Who gathered there to watch it topple 

Am E Am E 

Am 
Now turn around, it's burning down 
    Dm 
The city we live in 
C 
Should we mobilize? 
C 
Take them by surprise? 
F                   E 
Let them have their way with us? 

Am 
Wounds be by old enemies 
Dm 
Broke my heart to see 
C 
Foundations ripped apart 
C 
And investments fade away 
F                       E 
I guess we got off to a bad start 

   C 
No oxygen 
            Am 
What is the outcome? 
       F 
Hungry humans 
             G 
We've got to enslave them 

                 C 
We'll burn those bridges 
        Am 
When we come to them 
                   F 
I'm not just their leader 
         G 
I'm also one of them 

    Am  
The food supply has been depleted 
    E 
The river's run dry just when it was needed 
    Am 
The rats come out to take it over 
E 
Singing, squeaking, "We built this city" 

Am 
It's hard to breathe 
Am 
But we couldn't leave 
Dm 
Nowhere left to go 
C 
Almost everybody died 
C 
Drank the tears from those who cried 
   F                  E 
We shriveled from the sodium 

      Am 
And a map was found with an X on it 
   Dm 
So we followed it there 
    C 
And what did we find 
C 
An underground design    
      F             E 
As we entered in to our surprise 

C 
Oxygen 
           Am 
Rivers and playgrounds 
                  F 
The ancients just stayed down 
                   G 
They never stopped moving 

            C 
We stumbled towards them 
                        Am 
But they locked all the barn doors 
                 F 
So we had to dig deeper 
              G 
We had to dig deeper 

        Am 
And the deep was dark 
                  E 
I wanted to sleep forever 
E                      
Wake up later, maybe never 
   Am 
We had to build a civilization 
        E 
Let the planet focus on the planet's rotation 

Am 
We tried, we tried 
Am 
We really tried 
Dm 
But no one could do it 
C 
Not really alive 
C 
Never learned how to survive 
        F            E   
We were humans being useless 

   C 
No oxygen 
            Am 
What is the outcome? 
       F 
Hungry humans 
             G 
We've got to enslave them 

                 C 
We'll burn those bridges 
        Am 
When we come to them 
                   F 
I'm not just their leader 
         G 
I'm also one of them 

   Am        C 
We fade into oblivion 
C            F         Dm                E 
No traces of civilized living eating the earth 
C  
We're fading to oblivion 
             C         F      Dm       E 
No traces of civilized living eaten by earth
