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?
