tune Transposed: semitones

[G5]Porcelain and alabaster
[B5]Decaying ever faster
[G5]Unaware of [B5]imminent disaster
[G5]Open up [B5]your eyes
[G5]As you ruminate the [D5]hopeless sands of time
[G5]Did you wander out [B5]your days lost and resigned?
[G5]Or recreate the [B5]universals in your mind?
[B5]Everybody is bastard
[A5]My world [B5]is like plaster
[D5]Crumbling apart from [A5]pressure of the blaster
[E5]Waiting for [F#5]a sign
[G5]And the momentary [F#5]pleasures take their turn
[E]As a wistful boy runs [G5]out of things to learn
[B5]The episodes of yore [G5]are never to return
[B5]Scare up [G5]some hope
[B5]You're gonna need [G5]it just to cope
[B5]You are the [A5]decision, numbers don't lie
[B5]When you bite the dust, was [A5]it for purpose or for trust?
[B5]You'll never [D5]relive it
[A5]Think before [B5]you die
[F#5]Yeah, think!
[A5]Think before [B5]you die
[B5]Deficit and depravation
[D5]In the [A5]wake of desperation
[B5]Rewrite the morals, [D5]rectify the nation
[A5]Now may [B5]be your time!
[G5]As you ruminate the [D5]hopeless sands of time
[A5]Do you wonder how [B5]your life has been defined?
[G5]You know eternity can't [B5]ever change your mind
[G5]You know eternity can't [B5]ever change your mind
[G5]So think!
[A5]Think before [B5]you die!
[B5]Oh, think!
[A5]Think before [B5]you die!
