D#         C#       D#
What's the point of building Avalon
Fm            Gm                 G#
If you can't be happy when it's done?
D#            C#   D#
Who's in the race again?
Fm              Gm                  G#
Doesn't seem a long time since the last one

Wishing I could still make you happy
Torn apart somehow
Must be the waves we were carried on
Crashing on the shores of Avalon

Chorus:
               G7
And then grey painted aeroplanes fly over
C
On their way to war
         A7
And I'm dialing in, I'm dialing out
         Dm
There's darkness at the door
       G
Then I overdo my dose and I don't
C             A#      F
Even know I'm here anymore
           Fm                 D# C#
It's just something that comes
D#
To us all

What's the point in painting Avalon
If you can't be present when it's done?
Who's in the vale again
Picking up the apples of Avalon?

Chorus:
Then grey painted aeroplanes fly over
On their way to war (Aeroplanes)
And I'm dialing in, I'm dialing out
But the glass is still half full (Dialing out)
Then I overdo my dose and
I don't even know I'm here anymore
It's just something that comes to us all
