Intro   A  Gsus  D

Verse 1

A 
We live around the hydro towers
Gsus                          D
Listen to them singing in the park
A
Wind our clock to tight
Gsus                                  D
And all the radios are glowing in the dark
Em          A 
Mothers lie down in the day time
Em              A
And dream about Hollywood 
Em                  A                 Gsus
I know that they'll get there if they could

Chorus

A                   Gsus
It just a matter of time
                 D
Before we get to shine
A                      Gsus
It's not a question of when 
               D
or who did the crime 

Verse 2

A                  
We show our skin in picture windows
Gsus                           D
Sit around cross legged on the floor
A                     
living rooms electric tv's,
Gsus                            D
light bulbs ,iron cancer to the core
Em                  A
Out in the backyard waiting 
Em                  A
For women in flying saucers
Em        A               Gsus
Under the stars and power lines

Chorus

A                     Gsus
It's just a matter of time 
                 D
Before we get to shine
A                      Gsus
It's not a question of when 
                D
or who does the crime,ya
A                     Gsus
It's just a matter of time
                 D      
Before we get to shine        
Gsus             A      Gsus   A    Gsus
Before we get to shine        

Verse 3

Em               A
The fans and the air conditioners 
Em         A
Running in movie houses
Em          A               Gsus
Our mothers not coming home again 
A    Gsus
Home again

It's just a matter of time 
                 D
Before we get to shine 
A                      Gsus
It's not a question of when 
                D
or who does the crime ,ya
A                     Gsus
It's just a matter of time 
                D
Until we get to shine
