I used a couple of live acoustic versions to try to get the chords as close to perfect as possible. Enjoy!

A# D#/A# F/C
A# F#
C#/G# F# A#
[Verse]
A#m B A#7 B
The language of the frost lobs dead balloons over ruins today
D#M7 D#* D#/A# F D#M7/G*
In view of wan wordless crowds that chase waifs to spires with fiery plumes
F* F# D#/A# A# F F#
And incite the firmament's portrait of a drowning in Styx that gives impotents kicks
[Chorus]
A# D#/A# F/C A# F#
Boredom murders the heart of our age while sanguinary creeps take the stage
C#/G# F# A#
Boredom strangles the life from the printed page
[Verse]
A#m B A#7 B
Masking vapor trails from Mercury for a killer on Umbria
D#M7 D#* D#/A# F D#M7/G*
Who crippled birch mares now briars replace their old cotton limbs, who will tell?
F* F# D#/A# A# F
I mean, would it make a difference? Look, metal flower-petal tears
F# G#
Do not even appear in the myopic mirror
[Chorus]

Boredom murders the heart of our age while sanguinary creeps take the stage
C#/G# F# A#
Boredom strangles the life from the printed page
[Bridge]
A# D#
The moon was sagging in the sky as I held her face to mine
C# F# D#
All our thoughts were coming in so clear beyond the myopic mirror
A# D#
We were darting from the place where we just couldn't fit
C# F# D#
Far away from all the violence, safely flying in our own orbit
B A# B A#
F#
Why do I always have to tell you?
G#
Forget about the prescient signs!
F#
Forget about the life we knew!
N.C.
May we never be stripped of anything we love,
G#
May we grow so gentle, never go mental
G#
May we never go, go mental, may we always stay, stay gentle
G#
May we never go, go mental, may we always stay, stay gentle
G#
May we never go, go mental, may we always stay, stay gentle
G#
May we never go, go mental, may we always stay, stay gen-
B
-tle!
C#
Gentle!
D#
Gentle!
[Chorus]
A# D#/A# F/C A# F#
Boredom murders the heart of our age while sanguinary creeps take the stage
C#/G# F#
Boredom strangles the life from the printed page
D#/A#
Oh, what was my number?
F#
Oh, what was my number?
D#/A# F# G# A A#
Oh, I don't care!
