A             D           E            A
The vacuum created by the arrival of freedom
A               F#m     E         D
And the possibilities it seems to offer
          A          D           E            A
It's got nothing to do with you, if one can grasp it
          A          F#m         E            D
It's got nothing to do with you, if one can grasp it

A series of shocks - sneakers fall apart
Earth keeps on rolling, witnesses falling
It's got nothing to do with you, if one can grasp it
It's got nothing to do with you, if one can grasp it

Chorus:
D
Yeah, yeah, yeah - up the hill backwards
       E    D    A
It'll be alright ooo-ooo

While we sleep they go to work
We're legally crippled it's the death of love
It's got nothing to do with you, if one can grasp it
It's got nothing to do with you, if one can grasp it

More idols then realities ooo-ooo
I'm OK, you're so-so ooo-ooo
