        Bm                                     D   
Well we scheme and we scheme but we always blow it  
                                A 
We've yet to crash but we still might as well enjoy it 
Bm                                              D 
Standing at a light switch to each east and west horizon

        Bm                        G                    A 
I was patiently erasing and recording the wrong episodes  
              Bm                               G               A 
After you had proved my point wrong it wasn't like I'd let it go, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh 
        Bm                      G              A

        Bm                      G                  A 
Oh the dashboard melted, but we still have the radio

Hardwired to conceive so much wed have to stow even needs have needs tiny giants made o tinyr giants 
           Bm                                G                      A 
Don't wear eyelids so I don't miss the last laugh of this sho-o-o-oh
