G             Bm 
In my life on Earth 
    Em              C                         Em 
The things I have invented, have invented me 
              A 
I've found my industry 
G         Bm 
I am not alone 
     Em                     C  
I've fashioned friends from precious scraps 
                          D 
They hold the light, they bend to serve me 
Em               Bm    
Joking that they don't deserve me 
C             D 
After days of craft and care 
  C                D 
I lift a sword and slice the air 
C                D           
Such has been my time upon 
G           
This Earth

G              Bm 
When my wife returns 
     Em             C                               Em 
More beautiful than when she left the night before 
           A 
I show her things I made 
  G           Bm 
A filigree of ferns 
Em                  C  
Diamond snowflakes, tears of gold 
                      D 
She murmurs praise, a small caress 
  Em               Bm    
I smile to see her happiness 
C                D 
Silver webs with sanded grain 
     C                   D 
That catch and hold real drops of rain 
C                D           
Such has been my toil upon 
G           
This Earth 
     Em     C

When I'm feeling vexed I go upstairs and bury something deep 
F                   Am 
Then stand back and push a button

From a distance watch the earth explode___

                    G 
I love this land of mortal men 
     Am               Em 
They wake to know the fire again 
    F                   G 
The things we make, the things we feel 
F                 G 
Armour plates and molten steel 
F              G 
All of these inventions of 
    C 
The Earth 
     Am     F  C
