Verse:
D Em The men were here to get your Belgian things
Em A They'll store them for you in an airplane hangar
D Em There's guys in biohazard suits, mud kicking on their rubber boots
Em Aadd4 A They've come to keep your pretty things from danger
[D] [G] [D] [G]
D Em The men were here to get your Belgian things
Em A They'll spend the whole day hauling them downstairs
D Em I shot a roll of thirty-two exposures
Em Aadd4 A My camera groans beneath the weight it bears
Chorus:
G A I can see you in my sleep
D G Playing the points for all you're worth
G Aadd4 A Walking gingerly across the bruised earth
[D] [G] [D] [G] [D] [G] [D] [G]
D Em The men were here to get your Belgian things
Em A They waltzed right through the door and went flourescent
D Em Their boots were black and shiny and your treasures gleamed like stars
Em Aadd4 A Bones from deep down in the fertile crescent
[D] [G] [D] [G]
D Em The arteries are clogging in the mainframe
Em A There's too much information in the pipes
D Em I saw the mess you left up in the east bedroom
Em A A tiger's never gonna change its stripes
Bridge:
G A I guess, I guess
F#m G But Jesus what a mess
Bm D One way in and
G A No way out
[D] [G] [D] [G] [D] [G] [D] [G]
D Em The men were here to get your Belgian things
Em A And only I was here to see them do it
D Em I wish you had a number where you are
Em Aadd4 A It's hard with no one here to help me through it
G A I can see you in my sleep
D G Playing the points for all you're worth
G Aadd4 A Walking gingerly across the bruised earth
[D] [G] [D] [G] [D] [G] [D] [G]
