Em
Down in the lab
Am
With the hopeful few
C                 D
Hell bent on doing
    Em
The work that you cowards won't do

Em
Weaving the future
Am                       C   D
From bright new threads

Prices on their heads

G F C

Em
Someday the abomination
Am
Is going to finally make land
        C           D
We stay silent as a snowdrift
Em
Focused on the task at hand

Em
Dream of the day
Am                          C    D
When the calm waters break
              G     D        C
And something rises from the lake

G F C

         G                           C
Someday, all of you people will know
    G                  Am          A
The safe way isn't the only way to go

Em

Em
Movement in the grid
Am
As fish leap in thе air
C                D
It's only a test run
              Em
And still the tension's too dеlicious to bear

Em
All around the monitor station
Am
Big smiles, high fives
C               D
According to my projections
     G               D             C
Everybody's going to run for their lives

G F C

         Bm                            Em
Still we wait until our time has come
C                              Em
Down here where the engines hum
F                 Em     D
Exiled priests of Rome
Am                         C
Bringing our troubles back home

    G                           C
Someday, all of you people will know
    G                  Am          A
The safe way isn't the only way to go

Em

End on Am
