Verse 1
E 
I'm looking
Am 
C 
F 
and I know that's not a skyline that I see
C 
F 
It's just a chemical reaction
C 
between my brain and my belief soul
Am 
But the rattle of that subway
E 
Am 
is shaking something loose in me
F 
So the details come out
E 
blinding and uncertain
Is my hair rotted?
F 
C 
Am 
G 
This is a test of emergency systems
F 
C 
Your troubles are real
Am 
Cause you're spending
G 
your time with them
F 
C 
And you say you did your best
E 
Am 
But your best is all too human
F 
E 
Don't you see? It's time to say
Am 
C 
I think I need a break
F 
E 
Am 
C 
F 
E 
Am 
C 
So I sit in darker corners
F 
C 
where I'm simple and reserved
F 
And in time I double Windsor
C 
and I recite the things I've heard
Am 
C 
Oh, I   sit alone on Sundays,
E 
Am 
a prostrate on my knees
F 
And I ask for absolution
E 
from the dissonance to my own major
F 
C 
See, it's a test of emer
Am 
G 
gency systems
F 
C 
Your troubles are real
Am 
Cause you're spending
G 
your time with them
F 
C 
And you say you did your best
E 
Am 
But your best is all too human,
F 
E 
don't you see? It's time to say
Am 
G 
E 
I think I need a break
Em 
Am 
G 
F 
I think I need a   break
G 
Am 
G 
E 
How long's it gonna take?
F 
C 
Am 
G

Oh, for me to knock on

Am 
C 
F 
E 
Am 
And now our freedom's in a jar
C 
F 
C 
And they've got it hidden on the shelf
F 
And then the king, grabs a straw
C 
and how he drinks to daddy's health
Am 
C 
Oh, I'm wary and I know it's
E 
not a hardback mystery
Am 
F 
Close your eyes and I'll fly,
E 
and the world's supplies stuff you learn
F 
C 
Am 
Indeed, it's a test of convergence,
G 
your systems
F 
C 
Your troubles are real,
Am 
G 
cause you spend your time with them
F 
C 
And you say you did your best,
E 
Am 
but your best is all too human
F 
E 
Don't you see? It's time to sit
F 
And I think I need a break
C 
For the test
Am 
G 
Of emergency systems
F 
C 
Your troubles are real
Am 
Your troubles are real
G 
Cause you spent your time
F 
C 
Just saying how you did your best
E 
Am 
But your best is all too human
F 
E 
Don't you see? It's time to sit
A 
And I think I need a break you
