Verse 2
Dm 
Sometimes I wonder about the life I live
Am 
G 
What is the point of my existence?
Dm 
I talked for hours about it
with my friends
Am 
Everything’s a thread
G 
Just like the Singers said
Am 
F 
We had some questions
about the mess we’re in
Dm 
F 
what is the point af ter
Am 
the point of no return?
F 
We know there’s darkness
Dm 
when the candles burned
Am 
Does the will to live
Dm 
Sense a second age?

Verse 3
Dm 
Death and taxes never stop
Am 
Rent is going up and we are praying
G 
Yeah we are,
Dm 
we are all waiting on a miracle
Am 
We are waiting, y’know what I’m saying?
G 
Dm 
Don’t you falter don’t you stop
The only chance we got is
Am 
if we’replaying
G 
Dm 
While we are waiting on a miracle
Am 
G 
Dm 
We are waiting, y’know what I’m saying?
G

Verse 4
Dm 
Been living in an algorithm,
G 
Am 
G 
perfectly sheltered from all dissenting opinion
The problem that has arisen
Dm 
Is when I make a decision
I can only consider the inform
Am 
G 
ation I’m given

Verse 5
Dm 
Been making money
all around this town
G 
When the sun goes down
Am 
G 
I go and spread that money round.
Dm 
Left a list of places where
it can be found
Am 
But none of it’s there… I wonder
G 
where it’s gone

Verse 6
Dm 
Death and taxes never stop
Am 
Rent is going up and we are praying
Dm 
G 
Yeah we are,

Dm 
G 
y’know what I’m saying?
Dm 
Don’t you falter don’t you stop
The only chance we got
Am 
is if we’replaying
Dm 
G 
Dm 
While we are waiting on a miracle
Am 
G 
We are waiting, y’know what I’m saying?

Verse 7
Dm 
Fell from a drunken dream into my bed
G 
Am 
All of the evils of the world run through my
G 
Dm 
head
Everything’s connected still,
the good’s still there
G 
Am 
They didn’t put the halo
on another coin.
G 

Verse 8
Am 
Dm 
Just one more question about
the mess we’re in
Am 
What is the point if we all
G 
get God in the end?
Dm 
Every cause I fought and
bored of is still there
Am 
It’ll always be there
G 
Until it’s gone

The only chance we got
Am 
is if we’re slaying

While we are waiting on a miracle

We are waiting, y’know what I’m say

Interlude 4

Verse 10
G 
Ever since
Dm 
I’ve been living in an algorithm
I’ve been telling the millions
G 
All my opinions
Am 
With exactly no  inhibitions
G 
Sometimes I even listen
Dm 
Another problem’s arisen
If there’s truth to my convictions
F 
But the villains keep winning
Am 
How the hell does the world keep spinning
G 
Dm 
Is there something I’m missing?

Verse 11
Dm 
G 
Alright give me a minute
Am 
The Rome metaphor is derivative
G 
I have to admit it
But there is something in it
Dm 
Accidentally
Perhaps we
Have stumbled on a perfect exhibit
Am 
Of our words and the history
within ‘em
G 
You’d be forgiven for thinking
that we’ve been hinting at
the end from the very beginning
Dm 
Because for most Rome
was a prison
Am 
& if these are the last days,
G 
is anyone gonna miss ‘em?
Dm 
How do I do a new thing?
How do I make a real change?
Am 
G 
Dm 
To the committee this is my
submission

Verse 12
Dm 
Don’t you falter don’t you stop
The only chance we got is
Am 
if we’re slaying it
G 
Dm 
While we are waiting on a miracle
Am 
G 
We are waiting, y’know what I’m say
