F                                           G
The sun is high up in the sky and Im in my car
F                  G
Drifting down into the abattoir
Am
Do you see what I see dear?
F                    G
The air grows heavy. I listen to your breath
F                         G
Entwined together in this culture of death
Am
Do you see what I see dear?
F                   G
Slide on over here let me give you a squeeze
F                                 G
To avert this unholy evolutionary trajectory
Am
Can you hear what I hear babe?
F                     Am       F
Does it make you feel afraid?
 Dm
Everythings dissolving babe according to plan
The sky is on fire the dead are heaped across the land
I went to bed last night and my moral code got jammed
I woke up this morning with a Frappucino in my hand
F                    G
I kissed you once. I kissed you again
F                            G
My heart it tumbled like the stock exchange
Am
Do you feel what I feel dear?
F                         G
Mass extinction darling hypocrisy
F                    G
These things are not good for me
Am                     F
Do you see what I see dear?
                                G
The line the God throws down to you and me
F                     G
Makes a pleasing geometry
Am                             F
Shall we leave this place now dear?
Am                      F
Is there someway out of here?
 Dm
I wake with the sparrows and I hurry off to work
The need for validation babe gone completely berserk
I wanted to be your Superman but I turned out such a jerk
Am                     F
I got the abattoir blues
Am                     F
I got the abattoir blues
Am                     F
I got the abattoir blues
                     F
Right down to my shoes
F        G
abattoir blues...
F        G
abattoir blues...
