Simulation

Gm          Bb                  Am Ab
 It seems I should have walked away
Gm           Bb            Am          Ab
 Reverse the wager I've no means to pay
Gm        Bb               Am           Ab
 Toto has pulled back the green tonight, in sight
Gm              Bb               Am   Ab
 And blue pills coat with such disdain
Cm  Bb       Ab
 I wore the shades for so long
Cm           Bb              F
 That I've forgotten how to see
Gm            Bb            Am                Ab
 The curtain rises but who dares to pull the strings


[Pre-Chorus 1]
N.C.
I know this may be hard for you to believe and all
N.C.
But you only exist because we allow it


[Chorus]
 D    F                 E            Eb
I've questioned all the voices in my head
D                 F             E
Are they mine or have I been misled?
D            F               E             Eb
Total understanding doesn't seem to mean a thing
D                   F                 E
When you can't see behind the silver screen, a figurine
E                       Ab
Can't you hear me scream?


[Verse 2]
Gm      Bb             Am Ab
 By the way of cosmic rays
Gm        Bb                   Am        Ab
 A subtle breakdown jarred the code display
Gm       Bb      Am        Ab
 A simulation as I can tell, our cell
Gm       Bb              Am Ab
 Playing out a hopeless scene
Cm   Bb      Ab
 We stand to lose all our charm
Cm              Bb        F
 And faith just seems to wane
Gm         Bb                Am              Ab
 A billion years can seem a stunningly short time


[Pre-Chorus 2]
N.C.
You've been beaten down time and time again
N.C.
But still you find yourself at the center of it all


[Chorus]
 D    F                 E            Eb
I've questioned all the voices in my head
D                 F             E
Are they mine or have I been misled?
D            F               E             Eb
Total understanding doesn't seem to mean a thing
D                   F                 E
When you can't see behind the silver screen, a figurine
D         Ab
Can't you hear me scream?


[Bridge]
N.C.
 You hear me, you had one thing to do, one thing
N.C.
And you fucked it up, piece of shit
                                           C                 Eb
Nurse, patient six-six-six-one-five-eight needs to be sedated
   D       E
We need 500cc of Blue Comfort
N.C.
Oh hello there dearie, I've been expecting you


[Solo]
N.C.


[Verse 3]
Gm    Bb             Am Ab
 Posturing the way I feel
Gm        Bb            Am           Ab
 Is truth only what we believe is real?
Gm          Bb            Am             Ab        Gm
 Marvel the sketches that paint the night, starlight
           Bb                 Am           Ab
And take a breath before it's all erased away
