[Intro]
E
You forgot to say bye when you said it was time to go -
E
Didn't think I'd be back so soon did you?
E
Where's the love that you spoke of? Where's the 'welcome home'?
E
I don't get it, but the other side misses you
[Interlude]
E A B (x2)
[Verse]
E A B
One by one you'll end up just like the rest of us
E A B
In a line, waiting quietly for your turn
E A B
Resurrection's just a ploy to raise a fuss
E G#m A
when everyone just ends up in the earth
[Pre-Chorus]
C#m E
So for one last time would you just plant one on my cheek
C#m B
and tell me you're alright and everything's a-ok?
[Chorus]
E B
You're going back to the old white tower
C#m
where you'll wait for a higher power
A B
to tell you where you'll end up just like us
[Verse]
E
Hello love, how are you? I came for one last long look at you
A B
We only just met, but it seems like it's been a lifetime since you came through
E
the haze of waking up at the bottom of a barrel shaped just like a staircase,
A B C
so I hope that you don't hate that I appreciate just looking at your face
[Pre-Chorus]
C#m E
So for one last time would you just plant one on my cheek
C#m E
and tell me you're alright and everything's a-ok?
C#m E/Eb E
And it won't be long my darling girl before we meet up once again,
F#m B
because the bomb's only a minute or two away
[Verse]
E A B
So goodbye for the last time, it's my time to go
E A B
Gotta bring these idiots and their robes
E A B
They're all late for appointments with the boss above
E G#m A B
and he's not one that forgets to judge
[Chorus]
E
I'll see you up in the old white tower
B C C#m
waiting with a bouquet of flowers
A B
in my hands, smiling down from the back of the line
E
St. Peter's got your name on his tablet
B C C#m
I'll introduce you, and admit my habit
A B
disappeared when I met you, now I'm fine
E
You're going back to the old white tower
B
where you'll wait for a higher power
G#m A B
to tell you where you'll end up just like us
E
Sweating bullets waiting for your judgment
B
Did you pass? Did you fail? The subject's
C#m A B E
just enough to make you stand in line
