E
Main riff x 2
Verse:
E
One day you blew across the water after racing through the countdown,
G
Spewing ancient wisdom like your friends the revelations had come,
B
And they were looking for me.
E
I took the red-eye back to glory but the more I got the facts straight,
It turns out that the story's getting shorter,
G B
And what I want to know is: will it happen to me?

Main riff x 2
Verse:
We've been divided, we've decided it's a problem we can live with,
The motion to defeat it is repeated,
And what I want to know is: will it happen to me?
So come on, let the son in, we've been gunning for promotion,
Postering the slogans on the roadsigns,
But I want to know when it happens to me.
