D          A
We spread out and occupy
      D                    A
the cracks in the urban streets
D     A                     D                 A
Idle now, I rearranged the furniture as you sleep
                        D
As you sleep, as you sleep

F#m         E
It's so appropriate
D F#m      E
The way we amplify the sound
D F#m         E
And then the neighbors drop by
D F#m    E
And they ask to turn it down again

We spread out and everyone is
frightfully more aware
So impressed, the cocktail politics
and obscure details

It's so appropriate
The way we amplify the sound
And then the neighbors drop by
And they ask to turn it down again

And it was true that I was truly failing
You were gone and I was home calling around
But nothing was found worthwhile

We spread out and occupy the cracks
in the urban streets
Idle now, I rearranged the furniture
as you sleep
As you sleep, as you sleep
