Em  C

[Verse 1]
Em            C
     It's so very dark in here
Em          C              A
     There's water on the wall
           G
     I can see no lights
Em        C
     And what's that sound
Em                 C                A   G
     That droning far above the smoke

[Bridge]
E/G#      B/F#
Aaaaaaah, aaaaaah
D#/F      A#/F
Aaaaaaah, aaaaaah
A#/D     Cm            A#/D                Cm         D#/A#  Am7b5
     And everywhere I look their eyes are watching me.

[Verse 2]
Em       C
     Hello my friend
  Em                         C         A  C
     The day is long and I am very hot
Em         C
     This metal world
Em              C           A           Cadd9
     The lower half of every face is lit

[Bridge]
E/G#      B/F#
Aaaaaaah, aaaaaah
D#/F      A#/F
Aaaaaaah, aaaaaah
A#/D     Cm           A#/D              Cm
     And everytime I look the clock is calling me
D#/A#         Am7b5         G#maj7 Cm/G
     (And the tick, and the tock)

[Keyboard pad and synth horns interlude]
Bm7

[Verse 3]
C/G               D/G             C/G
     I've got my love to get me there
                   D/G             C/G
     But I've more pain that I can bare
                 D/G               E/B
     There is a world to find and share
     E  B/F#     D#/F A#/F
     Oh Saturday - Oh Saturday
A#/D     Cm          A#/D            Cm            D#/A#
     And I can see a dying race, who live their lives
               Am7b5      G#maj7   Cm/G
     (It's the tick, and the tock, between.)
