Verse 1 (0:43-1:06)

    A#           F
       On some driven ship

                                                  cut out, except for the bass, which 
                                                  plays these 3 notes in parentheses)

Chorus (1:40-3:08)

     G          C
       You're invisible now
             E                          F
       And I know that it's hard to get used to
                        C           G               E
       Cause you're the last secret agent reporting back
                  F                  G
       But you're reporting back to nothing
                C
       You're invisible now
             E                          F        G
       And I know that it's hard to get used to
                C
       You're invisible now
             E                          F        Fm
       And I know that it's hard to get used to

Screaming Part (3:19-3:44)

   *It’s really hard to hear anything in this part, but 
    the verse chords fade in at the end of this section*


Verse (3:44-4:31)

    A#             F
       The panoramic scene
           Dm                  Am
       The landscape's grand design
    A#               F           Am      C   
       The moment overtakes your life
  
    A#                   F
       In the silver morning sun
           Dm            Am
       The worst is magnified
    A#               F          Am        C   
       It makes you see the use of Christ

    A#   F   Dm   Am
    A#   F   Am   C
