- This works perfectly for me but I only really play acoustic and the song really should
be played on electric. Like my favorite song ever, love the lyrics. Help with the rest of
Swim would be appreciated.

Intro (x6): F5(I) D5 (D5*)
Verse 1:
Do you hear those distant voices
And sounds through the flames
The dea[D5]fening drone[D5]
Of these clanking machines
In the lights
It's the same
We're t[D5]rying to free
D5 (D5 palm mute)
The sculpture from the stone
We'll take the rhythm from the throne
If the radio is dying
Listen to me won't you listen to me
 
 ------------------------------------------------------------

Chorus:
[A#5]I don't want to lie in a bed of ashes
F5(II)
I don't want to burn in a midnight sun
[C5]I don't want to know if the system crashes
I don't want to go if it's just begun[G5] [A5]
[A#5]I don't want to lie in a bed of ashes
F5(II) Intro (x4)
I don't want to burn in the midnight sun
In the midnight sun
 
 ------------------------------------------------------------

Verse 2:
I scream like a madman in the morning
No one heard a thing
I had [D5]hoped for a[D5] more effective warning
No one felt the sting
D5 D5 (D5 palm mute)
Someone's savior never saved
Take it away 'till there's nothing left to say
The radio is dying
Listen to me
Won't you listen to me
Chorus
Bridge:
A#5 (palm mute)
Dancing like a child
Will we feel at all
Or just smile in another pretty prison
G5 (palm mute)
The wires frayed and broken free
(pick scrape down)
It's loud as hell but I don't want to listen
A#5 (palm mute)
Is existentialism so desperate?
(pick scrape up)
Condition may seem painful but it won't last
G5 (palm mute)
I just march, march
Sometimes I get the last laugh
[A#5] Machines [D5] and dreams
[F5] To make the [G5]choices for you
[A#5] Machines [D5] and dreams
[F5] I won't go ou[G5]t like that
[A#5] Machines [D5] and dreams
[F5] To make the [G5]choices for you
[A#5] Machines [D5] and dreams--
[D5]I won't go out
Chorus (x2)
Ending (Intro x4)
