 *this is played kinda "sloppy" and (obviously) with a good bit of distortion
(I've heard Gavin uses a "Big Muff" distortion petal, either way it sounds
alot like his sound)

 It's a beautiful world  but everyone's insane
 Either you swim  or either you fade
 It's a revolution time  we're sleeping at the wheel
 Apocalypse child  in a nuclear field
 We want to change the world  but not what holds us back
 I want to be for you  what I've never had
 And all of this time  I was just trying to reach you
 Through the rain  traffic
 As you float  into space
 Your white  eyes hide your face
 As you float  in between  - I am with  you
 If  you leave
 Fragile to the waves  - vicissitude of days
 When I am with you  I feel a little brave
 The madness and the wars  the circle that we run
 Confusion we import  look what we have become
 And all of this time  I was just trying to reach you
 Through the  rain traffic
 As you float  into space
 You white  eyes hide  you face
 As you float  in between  - I die with  you
 If  you leave - as you float
 (sorry, don't know the solo, but I think what he's doing is play either the
  6th or 5th or both strings open and moving up and down the 4th one, or
  something like that)
 As you float  into space
 You white eyes hide  you face
 As you float  in between  - I die with  you
 If  you leave - as you flooooooooooat
 I die with  you I die with  you I die with  you
 *As with just about all Bush songs, Nigel's "texture" he adds to song
 is all over the place... let me put it this way:
  crapload of work + me = ain't gonna happen
 ...anyway, have fun

It's a beautiful world[F#] but everyone's insane
Either you swim[B] or either you fade
It's a revolution tim[F#]e we're sleeping at the wheel
Apocalypse chil[B]d in a nuclear field
We want to change the w[F#]orld but not what holds us back
I want to be for y[B]ou what I've never had
And all of this [A]time[F#] I was just trying to reach you[B]
Through the [G]rain tr[A]affic
As you f[D]loat into s[B]pace
Your wh[D]ite eyes hide your f[B]ace
As you f[D]loat in betw[B]een - I am w[D]ith you
I[B]f you leave  [F#]      [B]
Fragile to the [F#]waves - vicissitude of days
When I am with [B]you I feel a little brave
The madness and the [F#]wars the circle that we run
Confusion we im[B]port look what we have become
And all of this [A]time[F#] I was just trying to reach [B]you
Through the[G] rain [A]traffic
As you f[D]loat into s[B]pace
You [D]white eyes [B]hide you face
As you f[D]loat in betw[B]een - I die [D]with you
I[B]f you leave - as you [D]float
