Verse 1
Am              A7
  Back of your mind
                     Bm7
  You're counting it down
                     F
  You want what you want
                        Am
  You're not worrying now
            A7
  Taunt the TVs
                Bm7
  Left, right, left
                    F
  Hear the lights change
                     Am
  And hide in your head
                     A7
  You slide off the side
                      Bm7
  And curse in your sleep
                      F
  You kiss your clay lips
                   Am
  And kill the canteen
                   A7
  So now its all gone
                       Bm7
  It's all leaving or left
                    F
  The bees will die out
                               
  And you'll wonder who's next

Chorus 1
C/G        G        F        D
      And so as part of the whole
                 C/G
  You try'n let go of
   G         F         D    Am E F 
  All that you can't control

Verse 2 - (same as verse 1, sometimes he plays the chords an octave higher)
Cause you spent all your spin
2004, but nothing much changed,
And nothing felt sure.
Except maybe one thing
One ominous fact
So you checked yourself out
With the crowd that's rolled back
While you're waving goodbye
Clouds grouped in white flags
Prospectors line up
Cuffed jeans and messenger bags
Seeing memories sold
Grave plots in the glow
Cafes and condos
Watch'em go watch'em go, oh
watch'em go, watch'em go

Chorus 2 - (same as first until noted)
And so as part of the whole
You try'n let go of
All that you can't control
So most of you stay
You settle in waves
Complacently asleep
Or a quarter awake
                              D          
Keep down the dertif' in your brain
Am   E      F
You can't take
D     Am    E     F
Truth you can't face
D    Am    E     F   
Truth you can't fake

Ending- (repeats several times)
Am                  A7
 You gotta face it, oh
                    Bm7
 You gotta face it, oh
 You gotta face it
