 A#                                 D#
There's miles of land in front of us.
                                       Gm
And we're dying with every step we take.
                                      F
We're dying with every breath we make.
                     A#
And I'll fall in line.
                                D#
The stranger's back is all I see.
                                   Gm
He's only a few feet in front of me.
                                  F
And I'll look left and right sometimes,
                  A#
But I'll fall in line.
                       D#
No one looks up anymore,
                                           Gm
Cause you might get a rain drop in your eye.
                                 F
And heaven forbid they see you cry,
               A#
As we fall in line.
                                 D#
And about this time of every year,
                                  Gm
The line will go to the ocean pier
                             F
And walk right off into the sea.
                A#
Then we fall asleep.

A#                           D#
And as we near the end of land,
                                             Gm
And our ocean graves are just beyond the sand.
                          F                    A#
I ask myself the question, "Why... I fall in line?"
                                 D#
Then out of the corner of my eye,
                            Gm
I see a spaceship in the sky
                            F
and hear a voice inside my head.


Chorus:
             D#    A# F/A
"Follow me instead."
 Cm          D#    A# F/A
"Follow me instead."
F
"Follow me."

Then the wages of war will start
Inside my head with my counterparts
And the emotionless marchers will chant the phrase
"This line's the only way"
And then I start down the sand
My eyes are focused on the end of land
But again the voice inside my head says

Chorus:
"Follow me instead"
"Follow me instead"
"Follow me"
"Follow me instead"
"Follow me instead"
"Follow me instead"
"Follow me instead"
"Follow me instead"

Take me up, seal the door
I don't want to march here anymore
I realize that this line is dead
So I'll follow you instead
So then you put me back in my place
So I might start another day
And once again I will be
In a march to the sea
