Verse 1
C#m                C                        G
    Here's a true story  said someone to me yesterday
                            Em
    said he'd heard it in a taxi
C#m                         C                         G
    Must have had him at my mercy drown that that poor thing
                       Em
    put it out of it's misery
                       Am
    condemn it to it's future
                  C
    deny it's history
                  G
    deny it's history

Chorus

Em                 A5                  D5               G then G/F#
   So where are we going?   We are not ready for drowning.  x2



Verse 2
Look through my venetian blinds,
Dusting the past of my mind,
seeing orange everywhere,
I'd go to palogonia,
But its harder there,
I'd do anything to prove i care,
Fascinated by good,
Destroyed by evil,
What is there to believe in

Chorus x2
