 Man Speaks:
 F#               
  It is inevitable
                Bbm 
 he becomes obsolete
 because the things
 that define him
   Ebm          
 become obsolete
 These things are
 Fm            
 part of who he
        F       
 is and now they
       F#

 Verse 1:
 Bbm             
  pleased to meet
            G#  
 you in the grey
 swinging slowly
        F#  
 in the hang
 all together
        F   
 on the beat
 new machines
            Bbm   
 are coming primed
 seasons change
        G#  
 and combine
 starving bees
          F#   
 on dying vines
 revelations in
     F         
 your mind dark
 F(hold)
 and then on fire
