Solid State

	  		
verse 1 

G 
Used to be the stars were too far away 
G 
Used to be the world didn't have much to say 
Em                      Am             G 
Coming in close and talking at the same time 
G 
Small mistake, terrible crime 

 
D                                            C 
Using up the air, trying to set yourself on fire 
D                                       C 
Everybody there pushing into one thin wire 
                                G 
But it's better than solid state 


verse 2 
G 
Never look small, but don't get too large 
G 
You gotta let go, you won't stay in charge 
Em                      Am             G 
Everything's fine, but nothing's really okay 
G 
It's all messed up, it's better that way 


D                                       C 
Everyone you know, crooked little numbers game 
D                                       C 
Where you gonna go? Everywhere it's all the same 
                                G 
But it's better than solid state 


Bridge 
Em      C      G      D 
Watch them rise and fall (one after another) 
Am      C      G 
Don't forget to follow through 
Em      C      G      D 
You learn after all (take care of each other) 
Am                                              C              G 
Who it hurts and how it ends, how far it goes, it all depends on you 

verse 3 
G 
Used to be the world was too far away 
G 
Used to be the stars didn't have much to say 
Em                      Am             G 
All this time, and everybody's still sad 
G 
We still got whatever we had 


D                                       C 
Every grain of sand rubbing up against your skin 
D                                       C 
Everything you planned, sinking as the tide comes in 
                        G 
But it's better than solid state
