[Verse]
G D C D
Open your eyes again for a moment
Em C D
To the detail of this world
G D C D
Each tiny insect, breathing
Em C D
Each limpid, leaf unfurled
[Verse]
Am
You see it for a second
C G
Then fall back to sleep
Am
We see it for eternity
C D
The detail of this landscape
[Chorus]
G D/F# Em D Em C D
Floating, screaming, awareness
C D
All the time
G D/F# Em D Em C D
How we envy you humans
C D C D G
When you gently close your minds
[Instrumental]
C D C D
[Verse]
G D C D
You fly into a thing you call boredom
Em C D
A talent, oh, so rare
G D C D
Anything you don't want to see
Em C D
You quietly ignore
[Verse]
Am
A trillion tons of flaming force
C G
A furnace, nuclear
Am
You turn into a children's song
C D
"Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star"
[Chorus]
G D/F# Em D Em C D
Floating, screaming, awareness
C D
All the time
G D/F# Em D Em C D
How we envy you humans
C D C D G
When you gently close your minds
[Instrumental]
C D C D
Am Em D C
Am Em D C
Am Em D C
G Am G D C D
Em C D G C D Em C D
[Verse]
G D C D
You build your little fairy stories
Em C D
As shells around your mind
G D C D
To keep at bay infinity
Em C D
And never ending time
[Verse]
Am
You're almost deaf and blind
C G
Your lives are so short
Am
Teach us how to end it
C D
Teach us how death is called
[Chorus]
G D/F# Em D Em C D
Floating, screaming, awareness
C D C D
Of everything, all the time
G D/F# Em D Em C D
How we envy you humans
C D C D G
When you gently close your minds
[Outro]
