Too Many Clues In This Room

[Verse 1]
Asus2                            Am7
The space shuttle ends where the subway begins
          D/A                     Asus2
There's a tear on the face of the moon
                               Am7
From dusk until dawn they have searched all day long
            D/A                    Asus2
But there's too many clues in this room
                               Am7
At best, it is said, we've been locked deep inside
      D/A                        Asus2
Of an old seaman's chest full of charts
                                    Am7
Where maps are contained and what's left of his brains
         D/A                         Asus2
When his crew threw his balls to the sharks

[Chorus]
D              Em
All around the looking glass
A            D
Dancing to a tune
G                C                       F
Sweeping out the house with a fine-tooth comb
F
Which history's shown
         E
Leads to ruin

[Verse 2]
A                              Am7
In a word, it is said, that at times we must fall
        D                       E
But the worst of it all was the lies
   A                            Am7
We died for the cause just like regular outlaws
       D                       E
In the dust of an old lawman's eyes
   A                            Am7
In times best forgot, there was peace, there was not
       D                          E
In her pains Mother Earth came to bloom
    A                         Am7
Her children were born in the eye of the storm
            D                      E
And there's too many clues in this room

[Verse 3]
Asus2                            Am7
The power that is stored in this no-man's-land of chance
         D/A                            Asus2
Is there someone who knows what they're doin'?
                              Am7
The old soldiers say in their own crusty way
           D                       Asus2
"We've got too many troops in this room"

[Chorus]
D              Em
All around the looking glass
A            D
Dancing to a tune
G                C                       F
Sweeping out the house with a fine-tooth comb
F
Which history's shown
         E
Leads to ruin

[Verse 4]
Asus2                            Am7
The space shuttle ends where the subway begins
           D/A                          Asus2
Praise the Lord there's a train leaving soon
                               Am7
From dusk until dawn they have searched all day long
            D/A                    Asus2
But there's too many clues in this room
