Verse (standard open chords unless noted otherwise)
D                          F                      Bb    A A7 
Everything is gone but the echo of the burst of a shell

    F#m        F             Bb          A  A7*(play this chord like in the intro)
I'm stuck here waiting for a passing feeling

       D            F              Bb   A A7
in the city I built up and blew to hell

    F#m        F             Bb          A A7*
I'm stuck here waiting for a passing feeling

Am/C                 Am                    Am/F#
still I send all the time my request for relief

                 F/C                       C/G
down a dead powerline though I'm beyond belief

                Am                     Am/F#
in the help I require just to exist at all

                    F/C                   (start playing the intro)
took a long time to stand took an hour to fall
