C#                Fm
Nothing else will set you free
C#                    Fm
The simple things are hard to see
C#                         Fm        D#
When you can't find your strategy inside
C#               Fm
Tangled up in technology
C#                Fm
Enslaved by the economy
C#               Fm      D#
A part of us is dying inside

Chorus:
Cm               G#                  A#  D#
Well, you can't stop the world from turning
Cm           G#           D#       A#
And you can look upon it differently
Cm         G#                 D#   A#
You can't stop yourself from learning
     G#      A#         Cm
Then one and one makes three
     G#      A#          F
Then one and one makes three

You wonder why you're all alone
You turn around your friends are gone
You realize that all your hopes have died
Strangled by bureaucracy
A slave to the economy
No semblance of humanity inside

Chorus

A#                        F
You can swim the wildest sea
        C/E               Gm
If you hold on to your beliefs
A#                        F    C Gm
You can make yourself invisible
A#                        F
If you climb the tallest tree
        C/E                Gm
If you help a blind man see
A#                       D#
You can make yourself invisible

Chorus
