F#m
He's a shattered sculpture
DM7
He's a deaf conductor
F#m DM7
And his only score is burning
F#m
So they hit the doldrums
DM7
In joint discordance
C#m7 Bm7
It's a wordless, dead-end sermon
F#m
Like a violen scrape
DM7
Like the hiss of a tape
F#m DM7
It always sounds unnerving
F#m
And it needs us the most
DM7
'Cos it feeds off the host
C#m7 Bm7
And it softly stays disturbing
A F#m
Here's a ticket for the front row view
E D F#m
The saddest orchestra, it only plays for you
F#m A D E
F#m A D E
Ever so sadly, ever so slightly out of tune
F#m A D E
Ever so sadly, ever so slightly out of tune
F#m DM7 F#m DM7
F#m
Passing ships in the night
DM7
Not an end in sight
F#m DM7
And we're stuck in uncharted waves
F#m
So you shrink in your chair
DM7
As it resolves nowhere
C#m7 Bm7
And it ends in quiet disorder
A F#m
Here's a ticket for the front row view
E D F#m
The saddest orchestra, it only plays for you
F#m A D E
F#m A D E
Ever so sadly, ever so slightly out of tune
F#m A D E
Ever so sadly, ever so slightly out of tune
D#m
There is no beauty in here
We keep our hands in the dirt
Don't need to seek a prayer
Or say any poignant words
G#m
But even when good and bad
I need you in sickness & health
D#m
There is no beauty in here
F#m
I don't want anyone else
F#m A D E
F#m A D E
Ever so sadly, ever so slightly out of tune
F#m A D E
Ever so sadly, ever so slightly out of tune
D#m
