Tom: Eb
Gm Bb C
Quick fire, I'm on time, you're ahead of schedule
Gm
Blue walls, propaganda mixed with scare stories
Bb C Gm
Straight lines, colour coded, lead the way to a dead end waiting room
Bb
Machines throb, we're fluorescent in buzzing lights
C Gm
These corridors smell so strange in this alphabet block I'm in
Bb C
Fear and loathing and wondering
Alphabet block
[Pre-Chorus]
Cm Eb
Holding on, holding on
Bb
Everybody's the same when it matters
Cm Eb
Holding on, we're holding on
Bb Eb
Hold my hand, don't let me go (blend into chorus)
[Chorus]
Eb Fm Cm
Ru-un, ru-un, we won't waste a second
Bb
A second, you're out of time
Cm Bb
You might find, when you're on alphabet block
[Chorus]
Eb Fm Cm
Ru-un, ru-un, we won't waste a second
Bb
A second, you're out of time
Cm Bb
You might find, when you're on alphabet block
[Verse 2]
Gm Bb C
Cigarettes, littered ground, medieval houses
Gm
All the cars bumper to bumper, not enough space
Bb C Gm
Break it down and resign to the fact that there are no promises here
Bb C
Drink this down, swallow hard, don't ask questions, right?
Gm
Just turn around, wait a week, till the alphabet block is done
Bb C
Fear and loathing, still wondering
Alphabet block
[Pre-Chorus]
Cm Eb
Holding on, holding on
Bb
Everybody's the same when it matters
Cm Eb
Holding on, we're holding on
Bb Eb
Hold my hand, don't let me go (blend into chorus)
[Chorus]
Eb Fm Cm
Ru-un, ru-un, we won't waste a second
Bb
A second, you're out of time
Cm Eb
You might find, when you're on alphabet block (blend)
[Chorus]

Ru-un, ru-un, we won't waste a second
Bb
A second, you're out of time
Cm Gm
You might find, when you're on alphabet block
[Bridge]
Gm Eb
A softly spoken voice gives a choice
Bb
But I'm not ready to make a decision
Solitary soul, solitary soul
Cm
'Cause I need you with your warm advice
Eb
Won't hesitate, won't pay the price
Bb N/C
All I ask of you: can we just...
[Chorus]
Eb Fm Cm
Ru-un, ru-un, we won't waste a second
Bb
A second, you're out of time
Cm Eb
You might find, when you're on alphabet block
[Chorus]

Ru-un, ru-un, we won't waste a second
Bb
A second, you're out of time
Cm Gm or whatever chord you want to end on or repeat instrumental chorus
You might find, when you're on alphabet block
