E                      A
So this is the machine age!
E                  A
It's just a disgrace
E                    A
This is no way to be saved
E                          A
Start again from the first page
               C
Give me insect eyes
       D
Insect brain
               G
Give me insect sex
                Em
I'll be happy again
                C
I looked at the sun
D             G
I had to have something


[Chorus]
E                     A
Suppress all personal reference
E                         A
Forget the people and the place they went
E                  A
Ignore the logical sequence
E              A
Welcome to the land of sense
                      C
Like the cloth from a table
                  D
The world pulled away
G                            Em
Can't see in front of my own face
                C
I looked at the sun
D             G
I had to have something


[Verse 2]
E                           A
So this is the machine age!
E                  A
It's just a bloody waste
E                    A
see you on the front page
E                A
See you in outer space
            C
You have to climb
                      D
But you don't have to win
                    G
If you have to have something
                          Em
It shows you don't need a thing
                C
I looked at the sun
D             G    F   E
I walked away blinded
                  C
But I had to have something
          D          G
More than nothing at all


[Chorus]
             C                D
On my bed of nails I rest the night
             G                           Em
Can't make a sound to let you know I'm alright
                   C                  D
If there's life on earth and it still thinks
                    G                           Em
Better head for the hills and wait for daylight
                C
I looked at the sun
D             G
I had to have something
