#Verse
Em
The road of distant thunder breaks
Edim
The afternoon of silence wakes
D G
We hurry through from Petergate as if we know this dance
Em
With fury blind I drive at night
Edim
Across the moors, open roads
D
Beneath the freezing starry skies
G
Racing in some trance
C
These cities are illusions of
Ab
Some triumph over natures laws
Am
We've seen the iron carcess rust and
B
Buildings topple into dust
C
And as the waters rise it seems
Ab
We cling to all the rootless things
Am
The christian lies, technology while
B
Spirits scream and sing
Oh god
#Chorus
# from here
Em
I love the world
Am
I love the world
G
I love the world
C
I love the world
#Repeat 4X
#Verse
Em
Now I never said I was a clever man
Edim
But I know enough to understand
D
That the endless leaps and forward plans
G
Will someday have to cease
Em
You blind yourself with comfort lies like
Edim
Lightning never strikes you twice
D
And we laugh at your amazed surprise as
G
The ark begins to sink
C
This temple that is built so well
Ab
To seperate us from ourselves
Am
Is a power grown beyond control
B
A will without a fate
C
And watching from outside I wish
Ab
That I could wash my hands of this
Am
And we are of together here
B
This bittersweet embrace
#Chorus
Em
I love the world
Am
I love the world
G
I love the world
C
I love the world
#Repeat 4X
#Verse
Em
And if someday the final fire
Edim
Explodes across the whitened sky
D
I know you said you'd rather die
G
And make it over fast
Em
With courage from your bravest friends
Edim
Watching outside for the end
D
With no bitterness but an innocence
G
That I can't seem to grasp
C
I know somehow I will survive
Ab
This fury just to stay alive
Am
So drunk with sickness, weak with pain
B
I can walk the hills one last time
C
Scarred and smiling, dying slow
Ab
I'll scream to no-one left at all
Am
I told you so told you so
B
I told you so
#Chorus
Em
I love the world
Am
I love the world
G
I love the world
C
I love the world
