[verse]
C
The air is full of animals with bellies full of fear.
C
They’re all heading some place new, but none of them know where.
C
The air is full of cars and trucks with people trapped inside.
C
They’re all heading somewhere else, but they never will arrive.
Am         D7
I’ve got a time machine.
Am         D7
I’ve got a laser pen.
Am         D7           C
I’ve got a message from beyond.


[verse] 
C
The sea is full of bicycles that fell out of the sky.
C
The clouds are made of Astroturf but no one wonders why.
Am         D7
I’ve got a periscope,
Am             D7
That sticks up into space.
Am         D7           C
I’ve got a view of everything.


[chorus]
Fmaj7       Am7 
There was a war tonight,
Fmaj7       Am7
A heartless bloody fight.
Fmaj7       Am7             Fmaj7   Am7
There was a war outside our room.
    C         F
But we’ve got blankets,
      C         F  
And a brand new telephone,
    C             F               D7sus4
And we’ve got the answers for the king.
   D7
Oh no!
             Fadd2                 C
They built a machine to break your heart.
 

[verse]
C
The ground is full of history that fell down where it lies.
C
The air is full of mystery with knots that won’t untie.
Am         D7
I’ve got a telescope,
Am                D7
That makes things far away,
Am                D7              C
Look like they’ll matter to me at all.


[chorus]
Fmaj7       Am7 
There was a war tonight,
Fmaj7       Am7
A heartless bloody fight.
Fmaj7       Am7             Fmaj7   Am7
There was a war outside our room.
    C         F
But we’ve got blankets,
      C         F  
And a brand new telephone,
    C             F               D7sus4
And we’ve got the answers for the king.
   D7
Oh no!
             Fadd2                 C      repeat
They built a machine to break your heart.
