I [C] used to see the future and now I see nothin'
They [C] cut out my eyes and sent me home packin'
[F] To pace around the kitchen for [Fm] scraps of inspiration
[C] Cryin' like Cassandra, I
[G] Used to tell the future, but they cut out my tongue
And [F] left me doin' laundry to [Fm] thinkin' what I've done
It wasn't [C] [Dm] [Am] me
It [G] was the [F] song
I used to [C5] move into the future, bring it all back
Let it [C5] bleed through my fingers, a treasure in my hands
Now I [C5] creep out when there's no one about
'Cause they put [C5] crosses on the doors to try and keep me out
With [Cm] gardеns of the [A#] grove
And I run in the middlе of the [F/A] road [G#] (Ooh)
[G7] Well, can you see [Cm] me?
I cannot see [D#] you
Everything I [G#] thought I knew has fallen out of view
In this [D#] blindness I'm [G7] condemned to
Well, can you hear [Cm] me?
I cannot hear [D#] you
Every song I [G#] thought I knew, I've been deafened to
And there's [D#] no one left to [G7] sing [Cm] to
All the [Cm] gods have been domesticated
And [Cm] Heaven is now overrated
And the [Cm] churches, they all closed their doors
Well, you can [Cm] take your complaints straight to the Lord
I try to still look where they [Cm] wander on the work
As the roses [A#] bloom
And the riot plants, they're [F/A] plainly in [G#] view
[G7] Well, can you see [Cm] me?
I cannot see [D#] you
Everything I [G#] thought I knew has fallen out of view
In this [D#] blindness I'm [G7] condemned to
Well, can you hear [Cm] me?
I cannot hear [D#] you
Every song I [G#] thought I knew, I've been deafened to
And there's [D#] no one left to [G7] sing to
[Cm] Ooh
[A#] Ooh
[F/A] Ooh, [G#] [G7] oh
[Cm] Ooh, ooh, ooh (Take me back)
[A#] Ooh, ooh, ooh (Oh, the drunken gods oversweeten)
[F/A] Ooh, ooh, ooh [G#] (I must be their favourite daughter)
[G7] Well, can you see [Cm] me?
I cannot see [D#] you
Everything I [G#] thought I knew has fallen out of view
And if I run [Cm] fast enough
Could I [D#] break apart
As empires [G#] tumble and cathedrals flatten in my [D#] [G7] heart?
