Verse 1:
                      F#
It's a beautiful world but everyone's insane
               Bm
Either you swim or either you fade
                     F#
It's a revolution time we're sleeping at the wheel
               Bm
Apocalypse child in a nuclear field
                       F#
We want to change the world but not what holds us back
                  Bm
I want to be for you what I've never had
                A   F#                             Bm
And all of this time I was just trying to reach you
            G      A
Through the rain traffic
        D          Bm
As you float into space
       D                   Bm
Your white eyes hide your face
        D           Bm           D
As you float in between - I am with you
 Bm            F#  Bm
If you leave
               F#
Fragile to the waves - vicissitude of days
               Bm
When I am with you I feel a little brave
                    F#
The madness and the wars the circle that we run
               Bm
Confusion we import look what we have become
                A   F#                          Bm
And all of this time I was just trying to reach you
           G     A
Through the rain traffic
        D          Bm
As you float into space
    D          Bm
You white eyes hide you face
        D           Bm           D
As you float in between - I die with you
 B                    D
If you leave - as you float
 
(sorry, don't know the solo, but I think what he's doing is play either the
  6th or 5th or both strings open and moving up and down the 4th one, or
  something like that)
 
 
        D          Bm
As you float into space
          D    Bm
You white eyes hide you face
        D           Bm           D
As you float in between - I die with you
 Bm                    D     Bm     D  Bm
If you leave - as you flooooooooooat
      D              Bm              D         Bm  D~
I die with you I die with you I die with you
 
 
*As with just about all Bush songs, Nigel's "texture" he adds to song
is all over the place...  let me put it this way:
          crapload of work  +  me  =  ain't gonna happen
 
...anyway, have fun
