Verse 1:
DO7
In a Shanghai noodle factory
Place where I once used to be
SOL7
Nowhere doing nothing
DO7
People there were made of steel
Tiny cogs in one big wheel
SOL7
Turning never learning
Bridge 1:
SIb
Had to make a break
DO FA LA
Soon I had to wake up feeling stronger, feeling stronger
SIb REm/LA SOLm SIbmaj7/FA
On my island of dreams
MIdim7 LA7 REm
With impo... ssible schemes
(acoustic guitar w/flute and organ):
(Dm) SOLm DO
[repeat intro]
Verse 2:
In a Shanghai noodle factory
Place where I once used to be
Nowhere doing nothing
Villages of plastic men
Packed like roosters in a pen
Crowing, never knowing
Bridge 2:
SIb
Had to make a break
DO FA
Knew I couldn't fake it any longer
Everything at stake
Soon I had to wake up feeling stronger, feeling stronger
On my island of dreams
With impossible schemes
[repeat intro]
