The Abandoned Brain

C                        Am
I'm sitting here in the abandoned brain
F                    Dm
Waiting for take-off in it
     C                    Am
They say it's never gonna work again
    F                 Dm
But I can spare a few minutes
     C                   Am
Been here before in the abandoned brain
        F                     Dm
There's flowers on all the controls
    G                      Am        F
The tape keeps telling me again and again
     Dm                 F
That I am the keeper of souls

C Am F Dm

    C                       Am
The wind blows hard on the abandoned brain
            F                  Dm
But there's nobody thinking at all
    C               Am
The hypothalamus is open to the rain
        F                     Bb
And the leaves sweep into the hall
        G                   Am
There's no one else in the abandoned brain
    F                      Dm
But that's not necessarily bad
   G                        Am    F
It feeds on itself but it's not insane
     Dm                    F
This brain’s too old to go mad

C Am F Bb

C                   Am
Roses bloom in the abandoned brain
    F                        Dm
And thoughts run wild on the floor
       C                    Am
Like a headless corpse, a derailed train
          F                Bb
Who could ask for anything more?

    G                    Am
I'm sitting here in the abandoned brain
F                    Dm
Waiting for take-off in it
     G                       Am    F
They say it's never going to work again
    Dm                F         C
But I can spare a few minutes
