[Intro]
Cadd9 Em7/B Gm6/B Dsus2/A
 
[Verse 1]
Cadd9                    Em7/B
It all came to me in the wake of a dream
Gm6/B             Dsus2/A
Bending space and reversing the stream
Cadd9                    Em7/B
The knowledge is mine to influence time
Gm6/B         Dsus2/A
And avert our decline (and avert our decline)
Cadd9                Em7/B
We could use this to salvage mankind
Gm6/B                  Dsus2/A
Send projections into the past
Cadd9                    Em7/B
As humanity fades in their minds
Gm6/B                  Dsus2/A
Let them know man won't last
(It all came to me in the wake of a dream)
 
[Chorus]
(two times, simple strumming -> advanced strumming)
Em              Bm
This may be our last chance
Dm                Am
if we want man to survive
Em         Bm
A mirror reflection
Dm                        Am
show them our world as it dies
Em              Bm
Cut through the barrier
    Dm                 Am
and do what no one has dared
Em              Bm
Let's break the equation
Dm           Am
E equals m c squared
 
[Interlude]
Cadd9 Em7/B Gm6/B Dsus2/A
 
[Verse 2]
Cadd9               Em7/B
Our first try was a minor success
Gm6/B       Dsus2/A
No control, I can but guess
Cadd9                Em7/B
We have to move now, don't know just how
Gm6/B           Dsus2/A
No mistakes are allowed
(We can make no mistakes)
Cadd9              Em7/B
I have sent it but nothing changes
Gm6/B               Dsus2/A
Just a line in some nation lore
Cadd9                 Em7/B
I don't know just how far it reaches
Gm6/B             Dsus2/A
Everything's like before
(It all came to me in the wake of a dream)
 
[Chorus]
(two times, simple strumming -> advanced strumming)
Em              Bm
This may be our last chance
Dm                Am
if we want man to survive
Em         Bm
A mirror reflection
Dm                        Am
show them our world as it dies
Em              Bm
Cut through the barrier
    Dm                 Am
and do what no one has dared
Em              Bm
Let's break the equation
Dm           Am
E equals m c squared
 
[Solo like Chorus]
Em Bm Dm Am
