So my love, Catherina and me, 
  Bb 
decide to take our last walk through the noise to the sea 
A                             Ab 
Not to die but to reborn,  away from lands so battered and torn 
  Ab        Db      Ab Db C 
Forever, forever

Oh say, can you see it's really such a mess  
          Cm  
  Every inch of Earth is a fighting nest 
       B 
Giant pencil and lipstick tube shaped things, 
   Bb 
Continue to rain and cause screaming pain 
           A 
And the arctic stains from silver blue to bloody red as our

feet find the sand,  and the sea is straight ahead, straight up ahead 
      Dbm                      Abm           B

The machine, that we built,

                          Dbm                     Abm 
And they also said it's impossible for a man to live and breathe under 
               B 
water,      forever, was their main complaint 
 Gb 
And they also threw this in my face, they said: 
  Dbm                             Abm 
Anyway, you know good and well it would be beyond the will of God,

   Cm 
to salute the last moment ever on dry land 
   B 
Our machine, it has done its work, played its part well 
           Bb 
Without a scratch on our bodies and we bid it farewell 
   A 
Starfish and giant foams greet us with a smile 
    Ab 
Before our heads go under we take a last look at the killing noise 
  Abm                    Db            Abm         Abm Db... 
Of the out of style, the out of style, out of style 
   Db                                    Cm 
So down and down and down and down and down and down  we go 
   B                                Bb
