Verse 1
Dm                     C               G      F 
Movement, no movement, just a falling bird 
Dm                  C               G      F 
Cold as it hits the bleeding ground 
   Dm                    C                     G      F 
He lived and died, catch sight, cover me with earth 
Dm               C                  G      F 
Draped in black, static white sound 
 
Chorus
Bb                          C 
A day without substance, a change of thought 
Bb                           C 
An atmosphere that rots with time 
Bb                      C 
Colours that flicker in water 
         Dm        C  G  F 
A short term effect

Verse 2
Dm                      C             G                  F 
Scream, as she tries to push him over, helpless and sick 
Dm                     C                    G      F 
With teeth of madness, jump jump dance and sing, 
Dm                     C                G                 F 
Sideways across the desert, a charcoal face bites my hand 
Dm               C               G              F 
Time is sweet, derange and disengage everything 
 
Chorus
Bb                          C 
A day without substance, a change of thought 
Bb                            C 
The atmosphere that rots with time 
Bb                      C 
Colours that flicker in water 
         Dm        C  G  F 
A short term effect

A short term effect 
   Dm             C                G               F 
An echo, and a stranger's hand, a short term effect 
   Dm             C                G               F 
An echo, and a stranger's hand, a short term effect
