Gm
Oh my mind
  A#                   F 
I walk down Mayflower Road again
Gm
the waning sun
G#
echoes from the park seem so absurd
Gm
the bus takes hours
   A#                F 
I knew it would but I cant shake the sting
Gm                     G#
can't spend my time on everybody else

Chorus:
Gm
If buildings fell
    A#                F 
At least we'd be in matrimony
 Gm
I can't control
    G#
The words kaleidoscope inside my head

         Gm         A#
Has the world gone mad
          F 
Or is it me?
Gm
All these small things
     A#
They gather round me
              F 
gather round me
      Gm      A#
Is it all so very bad
         F 
I can’t see
   Gm
Oh all these small things
      A#
They gather round me
              F 
Gather round me

I saw the police
Screaming something trivial
Like, "Keep the peace!"
The world moves on and you can't shake the sound

I know she's home
Waiting on somebody
Loathe in light
All in my mind
The anvil and the weight upon my back

Chorus

Has the world gone mad
Or is it me?
All these small things, they gather round me
Gather round me
Is it all so very bad?
I can't see
All these small things, they gather round me
Gather round me

And I can't see, my love

Has the world gone mad
Or is it me?
All these small things, they gather round me
Gather round me

Is it all so very bad?
I can't see
All these small things, they gather round me
Gather round me

And I can't see, my love

(And I can't see, my love)
