just repeat those four bars until the end of the verse.
the first line of the verses/after the bridge always starts with the 0-2-0 bar.
that's really the only thing different. hopefully that makes sense. can't do words. :)

GUITAR 1
D F#m x4
D F#m
i'm a bubble in a sound wave
D F#m
a sonic push for energy
D F#m
exploding like the sun
D F#v
a flash of clean white hope
D F#m
all you scientists can hold your breath
D F#m
can i decide to show myself?
oh oh
D
F#m D F#m
(take me to the source of chaos let me be the butterfly
D F#m D F#m
oh my imperfect symmetry has underlying poetry in rhyme)
D F#m
if you think like thomas edison
D F#m
could you invent a world for me
D F#m
now all that's on the surface
D F#m
are bloody arms and oil fields
D F#m
could i turn this place upside down
D F#m
shake you and your fossils out
oh oh
D
F#m D F#m
(you can't predict everything with newton like certainty why?
D F#m D F#m (E)
i-i 'cause it floats around all we see with oscillating energy on high
F#m D7 E7 A9 G#9
and you soothe yourself
F#m D7 E7 A9 G#9
with a sound you know
F#m D7 E7 A9 G#9
you tune out
F#m D7 E7 A9 G#9
the hypnotic drone
F#m D7 E7 A9 G#9
perfect hexagon
F#m D7 E7 A9 G#9
of the honeycomb
F#m D7 E7 A9 G#9
and you soothe yourself
F#m
with the shapes you know
D F#m
Should I come outside and run your cars
D F#m
Should I run your rockets to the stars
D F#m
Could you invent a world for me
D F#m
I need to hear a symphony
D F#m
If I'm to run the future
D F#m
You've got to let the old world go
oh oh
D
F#m D F#m
(take me to the source of chaos let me be the butterfly
D F#m D F#m
oh my imperfect symmetry has underlying poetry in rhyme)
F#m D7 E7 A9 G#9
and you soothe yourself
F#m D7 E7 A9 G#9
with a sound you know
F#m D7 E7 A9 G#9
you tune out
F#m D7 E7 A9 G#9
the hypnotic drone
F#m D7 E7 A9 G#9
perfect hexagon
F#m D7 E7 A9 G#9
of the honeycomb
F#m D7 E7 A9 G#9
and you soothe yourself
F#m
with the shapes you know
D F#m
Your word for me is fusion
D F#m
But is real change an illusion
D F#m
Could I turn this place all upside down
D F#m
And shake you and your fossils out
D F#m
If I'm to run the future
D F#m
You've got to let the old world go
D F#m
Could you invent a world for me
D F#m
I need to hear a symphony
oh oh
D F#m x4
