C            Am          E     F 
It's like we just can't help ourselves 
C            Am          E     F 
Cause we don't know how to back down 
C            Am          E     F 
We were called out to the streets 
C            Am          E     F 
We were called into the towns 

C            Am          E     F 
How the heavens they opened up 
C            Am          E     F 
Like arms of dazzling gold 
C            Am          E     F 
With our rain-washed histories 
C            Am          E     F 
Well, we do not need to be told 

Am            F 
Show me now, show me the arms aloft 
Am            F 
Every eye trained on a different side 
Am            F            C  G 
This magic, this drunken Semaphore, and I 

C  G    F 
We are listening 
Am  G    F 
And we're not blind 
C  G    F 
This is your life 
Am  G    F 
This is your time 

C  G    F 
We are listening 
Am  G    F 
And we're not blind 
C  G    F 
This is your life 
Am  G    F 
This is your time 

C            Am          E     F 
I was called out in the dark 
C            Am          E     F 
By a choir of beautiful cheats 
C            Am          E     F 
And as the kids took back the parks 
C            Am          E     F 
You and I were left with the streets. 

Am            F 
Show me now, show me the arms aloft 
Am            F 
Every eye trained on a different side 
Am            F            C  G 
This magic, this drunken Semaphore, and I 

C  G    F 
We are listening 
Am  G    F 
And we're not blind 
C  G    F 
This is your life 
Am  G    F 
This is your time 

C  G    F 
We are listening 
Am  G    F 
And we're not blind 
C  G    F 
This is your life 
Am  G    F 
This is your time 

C  G    F 
We are listening 
Am  G    F 
And we're not blind 
C  G    F 
This is your life 
Am  G    F 
This is your time 

C  G    F 
We are listening 
Am  G    F 
And we're not blind 
C  G    F 
This is your life 
Am  G    F 
This is your time
