[Verse 1]

E         C#             G#
Sometimes I just wanna fly
          A               B
Sometimes I just wanna die
                   C#
Life is so full of dichotomy
     D  C#       A   E
It's so plain to see
    D         A         E
The only sane choice is insanity

[Chorus]

E
Forgive us mother, forgive us mother
C#
Forgive us mother, forgive us mother (Insanity)
D
Forgive us mother, forgive us mother
A
Won't you please forgive me? (Insanity)

[Verse 2]

E              C#             G#
Welcome to the land of plenty
             A    B
We're all so busy

In our quest for permanence
   C#                         D  C#   A  E
We lose sight of the relative unimportance
        D                              A                         E
Of our conquest to see who can produce the most trash before you die

[Chorus]

E
Forgive us mother, forgive us mother
C#
Forgive us mother, forgive us mother (Before you die)
D
Forgive us mother, forgive us mother
A
Won't you please forgive me? (Before you die)

[Verse 3]

E              C#                 G#
Welcome to the end of the century
           A   B
Life is so easy
                       C#
Wouldn't it be nice if we could find a compromise
   D      C#    A  E
Between technology
        D                                   A                         E    D
And the well being of the Earth that grants us every goddamn thing we need?
A           E      D A
Everything we need

[Outro]

E
You can't see the sun rise
         D                        A               E
When the buildings have grown too tall to see the skies
        D                 A                E
And the smog is too thick to be pierced by your eyes
        D A E
By your eyes
        D A
By your eyes
E
You can't feel the rain fall down
            D                A             E
When you're locked in a box, nailed to the ground
        D                 A            E
And the muffled cries for help are the only sound
         D      A      E
The only sound (sound, sound)
         D      A      E
The only sound, sound, sound
         D      A      E
The only sound, sound, sound
         D      A      E
The only sound (sound, sound)
