VERSE 
       Dm 
You're holding back 
You're hard to read 
       Gm 
Your a 21st century kind 
       C 
You're lighting fast 
Dm 
Built for speed 
  Bb           F      C 
A tight-lipped modern mind 
   Dm 
An architect 
Of grand romance 
         Gm 
You're a mystery of disguise 
       C                Dm 
You're holed up in your house 
     Bb      F       C 
Just waiting for the fire 
       Gm 
You're buttoned down 
All sown up 
You're an ontological soul 
Eb 
Cold hard truth 
Only proof 
     D7sus      D7 
What we already know 

 
                    G 
You're gonna need a claw hammer 
C 
Oh my Lord 
   G/B     Am 
To bust on through 
    D               G   C/G G 
And break down your walls 
E7   E7/G#  Am 
Loosen your lips 
Cm/Eb        G/D 
Slacken that jaw 
                  Dm/F C/E 
It's gonna take a claw hammer 
      G C/G G 
Oh my Lord 

Instrumental 
Dm - G A

VERSE 
Dm 
Look at us fools 
Being used 
      Gm 
We're totally dumb, surprised 
C                  Dm 
Waiting for you to share with us 
    Bb   F          C 
The myth behind the lies 
Dm 
Come on out 
Throw us a bone 
   Gm 
We want to know your intentions 
C 
Are you fake 
    Dm 
For goodness sake 
       Bb     F    C 
Or the Mother of Invention 
G 
You're buttoned down 
All sown up 
          Gm 
You're an ontological soul 
Eb 
Cold hard truth 
Only proof 
     D7sus      D7 
What we already know 

 
                    G 
You're gonna need a claw hammer 
C 
Oh my Lord 
   G/B     Am 
To bust on through 
    D               G   C/G G 
And break down your walls 
E7   E7/G#  Am 
Loosen your lips 
Cm/Eb        G/D 
Slacken that jaw 
                  Dm/F C/E 
It's gonna take a claw hammer 
      G C/G G 
Oh my Lord
