[Verse 1]
Em                       Am
      At first, you will find
  D                Am         D    
A prophecy of what could have been, 
     Em
you know (You know)
                  Am                  
You know, there's all sorts of crap on
     D             Am   D
 the TV these days
        Em               Am
Now you won't live after such disaster
         D                      Am
You're a lot full of smashed-up cars
                     D          
Cross-hatched in the metal when 
                    Em
you're cracking up
                       Am         D
But you're part of the pack, pup
                         Am    
You're part of something bigger
          D       C
 than the laws of nature
     G
Mrs. Thatcher
     C               G        
Your cruel heart navigates the
 B7               Em
 world we live in
         Am
With its anger
C              B7
Going nowhere, coming at ya

[Chorus]
Em            Am
Rapture in my head
               D      
I keep looking up like 
     Am      D
I'm already dead
Em             Am
Rapture, oh my Lord
                  D
I've been playing catch-up
      Am    D
I'm already bored
Em          Am
La-la-la-la-la
            D           Am    D
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

[Verse 2]
    Em             Am             D
Oh, God, tell me I sure am on the list
                     Am  
How can you make yourself 
    D           Em          Am
so scarce from someone you love?
                  D
Oh, it don't make sense
                   Am         
Your love is never better than
     D       C              G
 the morning after (Morning after)
      C              B7
Well, Mother Nature, coming at ya

You say this is up

I'm already dead

Dead, dead, dead, dead, dead
C       D   Em
I'm already dead
