This track is harder than it looks to tab. The outro guitar I get very lost on 
the solo so have just left this for you to play your own part there. To make it  
easier for playing, I have put the actual fret numbers for the outro solo and  
the fret numbers relative to the capo for the other parts. 
Enjoy!

verse 2 (as interlude) 
======= 
The colours stand still  
And then they move around  
Comin' in and out of focus upside down 

Empty winter trees  
How space feels  
Love of the soft ... the flowers and the sky

One fine day  
The chaos subsides  
Bleeds into awareness  
And a lifetime of surprise  
The beauty of your mothers eyes 
The pain when you fall  
You drink it in and marvel at it all  
But you never really figure it out

The babble of the family

Roar of the traffic and the thunder of jets

Drugs in the food  
The heat of the kitchen and the beat of the system

Break (no guitar worth tabbing) 
===== 
Alone in the city at seventeen  
With the hollow and the lonely  
The drowning and the drowned 
I was made to feel worthless  
The wretched and the mean  
Beat me up like a weapon I can't run away from or find a way round 

Holdin' on, holdin' on  

Chorus (as before) 
====== 
The greed and the missiles  
Exploding somewhere every day  
Hideous dark secrets under the sea and in holes in the ground 
The cold war's gone  
But those bastards'll find us another one  
They're here to protect you, don't you know?  
So get used to it  
Get used to it!

The clash of religions  
And the loaded prayers 
Information  
The face of starvation and the state of the nation  

The sense that it's useless  
And the fear to try 
Not believing the leaders, the media that feed us 
Living with the big lie  

You get used to it  
Get used to it! 
It's okay, I got used to it
