   E             B
Pariah dogs and wandering madmen,
 A                         E
barking at strangers and speaking in tongues
E                    B
The ebb and flow of tidal fortune,
  A                      E
electrical changes are charging up the young

G D     A               Bm        G
It's a far cry from the world we thought we'd inherit
G D     Bm                                    G
It's a far cry from the way we thought we'd share it
D       A               Bm        G
You can almost feel the current flowing,
        Bm
you can almost see the circuits blowing

Chorus:
E                      G
One day I feel I'm on top of the world
         A               E
and the next its falling in on me,
       D                 F#
I can get back on I can get back on
E                    G
One day I feel I'm ahead of the wheel,
         A                E
and the next it's rolling over me,
       D                 F#
I can get back on I can get back on

Whirlwind life of faith and betrayal
Rise in anger, fall back, and repeat
Slow degrees on the dark horizon
Full moon rising lays silver at your feet

It's a far cry from the world we thought we would inherit
It's a far cry from the way we thought we would share it
You can almost feel the current flowing
You can almost see the circuits blowing

Chorus:
One day I feel I'm on top of the world
And the next it's falling in on me
I can get back on
I can get back on
One day I feel I'm ahead of the wheel
And the next it's rolling over me
I can get back on
I can get back on

It's a far cry from the world we thought we would inherit
You can almost see the circle growing
You can almost feel the planets glowing

Chorus:
One day I feel I'm on top of the world
And the next it's falling in on me
I can get back on
I can get back on
One day I feel I'm ahead of the wheel
And the next it's rolling over me
I can get back on
I can get back on

One day I fly through a crack in the sky
And the next it's falling in on me
I can get back on
I can get back on
I can get back on
I can get back on
