E    B        A            B   
      On the high-rise estate 
      Abm                         A
      What's at the back of your mind ? 
                 E         B
      Oh, on a three-day debate
            A           B
      On a high-rise estate
      Abm                         A 
      What's at the back of your mind ?


           E         B        A           B
      Two icy-cold hands conducting the way
                Abm                 A
      It's the Eskimo blood in my veins 
            E             B
      Amid concrete and clay 
           A         B
      And general decay 
       Abm                      A
      Nature must still find a way 


            E     B      A             B
      So ignore all the codes of the day 
                Abm                  A 
      Let your juvenile influences sway 
       E            B
      This way and that way and
       A            B
      This way and that way 
      Abm              A
      God, how xxx implores you 
         Gb
      To let yourself lose yourself


      Dbm              E
      Stretch out and wait 
      Dbm              E
      Stretch out and wait 
Dbm   B                   A         B
      Let your puny body lie down, lie down 
      A                  B
      As we lie, you say 
            Dbm           
      As we lie, you say 
      E
      Stretch out and ... 
      Dbm              E 
      Stretch out and wait 
      Dbm              E
      Stretch out and wait 
      B                   A         B
      Let your puny body lie down, lie down
      A                  B
      As we lie, you say
                Dbm              Gb
      Will the world end in the night time ?
                  A         B 
      - I really don't know - 
                Dbm              Gb 
      Or will the world end in the day time ?
                  A         B
      - I really don't know - 
                Dbm              Gb
      And is there any point ever having children ?
                  A         B
      Oh, I don't know
             Gb                A            B
      What I do know is we're here and it's Now

            
              E               B
      So ... stretch out and wait 
              A        B
      Stretch out and wait 
               Abm                        A 
      There is no debate, no debate, no debate 
      E            B           A         B 
      How can you consciously contemplate 
                 Abm                A
      When there's no debate, no debate ? 
                       E            B     
      Stretch out and wait 
Dbm   B               Abm           A
      Stretch out and wait 
                       E            B
      Stretch out and wait 
       E          B
      Wait 
       E          B
      Wait 
       E          B
      Wait
       E          B         B
      Wait 

      Dbm         Gb          Am
