Verse 1]

  G                                     C
There's miles of land in front of us.
                                            Em
And we're dying with every step we take.
                                          D
We're dying with every breath we make.
                        G
And I'll fall in line.
                                   C
The stranger's back is all I see.
                                      Em
He's only a few feet in front of me.
                                  D
And I'll look left and right sometimes,
                   G
But I'll fall in line.
                          C 
No one looks up anymore,
                                             Em
Cause you might get a rain drop in your eye.
                                 D
And heaven forbid they see you cry,
                 G
As we fall in line.
                                    C
And about this time of every year,
                                     Em
The line will go to the ocean pier
                              D
And walk right off into the sea.
                        G
And then we fall asleep.

[Verse 2]

 G                               C
And as we near the end of land,
                                                 Em
And our ocean graves are just beyond the sand.
                             D                     G
I ask myself the question, "Why... I fall in line?"

                                   C
Then out of the corner of my eye,
                               Em
I see a spaceship in the sky 
                            D
and hear a voice inside my head.
                       C   G   D   
"Follow me instead."
                       C   G   D   
"Follow me instead."
                       C   G   D  
"Follow me."
                       C   G   D  
"Follow me."

[Verse 3]

 G                                 C
Then the wages of war will start
                                     Em
Inside my head with my counterparts.
                                                       D
And the emotionless marchers will chant the phrase,
                             G
"This line's the only way."
                                 C
And then I start down the sand.
                                        Em
My eyes are focused on the end of land.
                                D
But again the voice inside my head says,
                       C   G   D
"Follow me instead."
                       C   G   D
"Follow me instead."
                       C   G   D
"Follow me."
                       C   G   D
"Follow me instead." 
                       C   G   D
"Follow me instead." 
                       C   G   D
"Follow me instead." 
                       C   G   D
"Follow me instead." 
                       C   G   D
"Follow me instead." 


[Verse 4]

 G                         C
Take me up, Seal the door.
                                  Em
I don't wanna march here anymore.
                              D
I realize that this line is dead.
                        G
So I'll follow you instead.
                                     C 
So then you put me back in my place,
                              Em
So I might start another day.
                          D
And once again I will be,
                       G
In a march to the sea. 

(Hold  G )
