Movement
No movement

Just a falling bird
Dm                  C             G  F
Cold as it hits the bleeding ground

He lived and died
      C
Catch sight
                  G  F
Cover me with earth
Dm
Draped in black
C
Static
            G   F
White sound

Here is the brige:

Bb
A day without substance
   C
A change of thought
   Bb                        C
An atmosphere that rots with time
Bb                      C
Colours that flicker in water
          Dm      C  G  F
A short term effect

Repeat the main riff over the verse:
Scream
As she tries to push him over
Helpless and sick
With teeth of madness
Jump jump dance and sing
Sideways across the desert
A charcoal face 
Bites my hand
Time is sweet 
Derange and disengage everything

Bb
A day without substance
   C
A change of thought
   Bb                        C
An atmosphere that rots with time
Bb                      C
Colours that flicker in water
          Dm      C  G  F
A short term effect

Repeat Main Riff: Dm, C, G, F
A short term effect

A short term effect
A short term effect
An echo
And a stranger's hand
A short term effect
An echo
And a stranger's hand
A short term effect
