Em                 C 
Can you hear them? They're coming 
G                      D 
They're in the signal, they're in my head. 

Em 
Is it only me? 
C                        G    D 
am I the only one to be called? 
Em                       C                          G     D 
This pounding in my ears is calling me to rule the world. 

Em               C                    G    D 
Rule the universe as a Master of your fate. 
Em                      C 
Can you hear the drums? 
                                   G    D 
Don't try to fight them; it's too late. 

Am            C       Em       
Each Timelord child, 
                G 
Approaches the eye, 
Am          C               
Forced to behold the vortex, 
Em       G 
To be inspired or run, 
Am                       C               Em 
But as I gazed into the vastness of time, 
                      G (build up) 
I heard the sound of drums. 

Em                 C 
Can you hear them? They're coming 
G                      D 
They're in the signal, they're in my head. 
Em                 C 
Can you hear them? They're coming 
G                      D 
They're in the signal, they're in my head. 

Em                    
In professor's guise, 
C                             G      D 
Oh Doctor, Doctor, you have healed me. 
Em                
You are not alone, 
C                            G    D 
It took you far too long to see me. 
Em                  
Now I lay in your arms, 
C                         G    D 
Mortally wounded in your care. 
Em                        
I'll leave you here forever, 
C                           G    D 
Last of the Timelords once again. 

Am 
Don't leave me now, 
          C 
Think of all we've done together, 
          Em 
Think of all the vanquished foes, 
          G 
Think of all we could be. 

Am                           C                           Em      G 
It would be hell for me, imprisoned here forever, with you. 
Don't, please, you've got to, please, we're the only ones left, please, 
Just regenerate! 

Em 
Can you hear them 
(In my dreams they're calling) 
C 
They're coming 
(And every waking moment) 
G 
They're in the signal 
(I heard the vortex calling) 
D 
They're in my head. 

Em 
Can you hear them? 
(I heard the sound) 
C 
They're coming 
(The sound of drums) 
G 
They're in the signal 
D 
They're in my head
