# Verse 1:
Em
He sees the stormy anger of the world
A
And wants no part of it at all
           C                 G
And as the weeping leaves of autumn curl
F                          E
He feels the savage winter call

# Verse 2:
Em
See far below the dust of conflict settles on the hill
A
Where there was no escape before
          C                     G
And as he spreads his wings and soars up to another level
F                               E
He brings the icy prophecies of war

# Chorus:
Em          Em          A
Black crow, black crow, tell me where you really go
C            G                F               E
When you fly into the sunset, high in evening sky,
Em          Em          A
Black crow, black crow, tell me what you really know
C                        G             F                E
Will we flourish in this hurricane, or will we fall and die?

# Verse3:
Em
While children lose their souls and so much more
A
To ragged armies of the field
          C                       G
A vicious fanfare cries appeasing hungry savages
F                             E
To trigger that their fate is surely sealed

# Verse4:
Em
I wonder if that black crow sleeps as day beckons the night
A
Or if he even sleeps at all
          C                        G
I wonder what he thinks of all the human traffic far below
F                                    E
That's sturggled on the road for so, so long

# Chorus:
     Em             Em          A
Tell me black crow, black crow, solely you pass above
C             G                  F               E
Understanding everything but you know nothing at all,
Em          Em          A
Black crow, black crow, tell me what you really know
C                        G             F                E
Do you want to steal the pain that we feel down here at all

# Chorus:
Em          Em          A
Black crow, black crow, tell me where you really go
C            G                F               E
When you fly into the sunset, high in evening sky,
Em          Em          A
Black crow, black crow, tell me what you really know
C                        G             F                E
Will we flourish in this hurricane, or will we fall and die?

# Intro: Bm A E G x2

# Verse 1:
Bm           G                 D         A
Baby baby, I feel these sweet sensations
Bm           G                D     A
Honey honey, looks like a superstar
Bm                      G               D      A
She's got a promise of love-struck fascination
Bm                      G                 A
What am I to do? How am I to know who you are?

# Chorus:
          Bm   A    E                G
When this Love Foolosophy is killing previous illusions that
Bm  A                    E   G
  I had in my mind about you
Bm       A                         E        G
Seems so true, all the lies you're telling, tragically compelling and
Bm   A                        E       G                      Bm 
  My love it means nothing to you, so maybe I'm still a Love Fool
       

# Verse 2:
Bm  G                   D      A
She shimmers like a California sunset
Bm         G                    D    A
Lady lady, glitters but there's no gold
Bm                    G              D       A
She carries sweetly infectious magic formulas
Bm                G                    A
I'm so delirious, is she that serious? or is she bringing me on? I've been waiting so long

# Chorus:

# Bridge:

Bm  A  E                           G
     I don't want the world I want you
Bm  G     D                             A
     yeah I don't want the world I want you
Bm  G     D                     A

Oh yeah what we're living in (let me tell ya)


Gb6                  Ab7
It' a wonder man can eat at all
     Dbmaj7
When things are big
            Gb
That should be small 
Ab9               B            Bb             Ebm
Who can tell what magic spells we'll be doing for us. 
        Gb6           Ab7          Dbmaj7
And I'm giving all my love to this world
     Gb
Only to be told
Ab9          B
I can't see, I can't breathe
Bb              Ebm
No more will we be
    Gb6                    Ab7
And nothing's gonna change the way we live
Dbmaj7                     Gb
Cuz we can always take and never give
    Ab9                          Bb
And now that things are changing for the worse, 
Ebm               Gb6                Ab7
See, it's a crazy world we're living in
                 Dbmaj7              Gb          Ab9
And I just can't see that half of us immersed in sin
   B              Bb
Is all we have to give these 

Chorus :

Gb6     Bb      Gb         Ab9
Futures made of virtual insanity
    B      Bb         Ebm              
now always seem to be governed by this love we have
    Gb6      Bb        Gb          Ab9
For useless, twisting, our new technology
   B               Bb        Ebm
Oh now there is no sound for we all live underground 


And I'm thinking in what a mess we're in 
Hard to know when to begin 
If I could slip the sickly ties that earthly man has made 
And now every mother can choose the color of her child 
That's not nature's way 
Well that's what they said yesterday 
There's nothing left to do but pray 
I think it's time I found a new religion 
Whoaaa it's so insane to synthesize another strain 
There's something in these futures that we have to be told. 

# *Chorus*

Now there's no sound if we all live underground 
And now it's virtual insanity 
Forget your virtual reality 
Oh, there's nothing so bad, I know yeah 
# (Bridge)
Oh, this virtual insanity, we're living in, 
Has got to change, yeah 
Things will never be the same 
And I can't go on 
While we're living in oh, oh virtual insanity 
Oh, this world has got to change 
Cos I just, I just can't keep going on, it was virtual, 
Virtual insanity that we're living in, that we're living in 
That virtual insanity is what it is 

# *Chorus* x2

# Living - virtual insanity [4x]

# Virtual Insanity is what we're living in

In the sand, they're strange

They speak to me like constellations as we lie here

 
Am                      Gbm

Bb8 Em9 A9 D9 Gm7 C#m7-5 Cm7 B7(#9) D8 D#8 Em9

Oh yeah, what we're living in (let me tell ya)
       Em9            A9
It's a wonder man can eat at all
     D9                  Gm7
When things are big that should be small
C#m7-5            Cm7                   B7(#9)    Em9
Who can tell what magic spells we'll be doing for us
        Em9           A9
And I'm giving all my love to this world
D9   Gm7
Only to be told
C#m7-5 
I can't see
Cm7
I can't breathe
   B7(#9)       Em9
No more will we be

    Em9                           A9
And nothing's going to change the way we live
     D9                     Gm7
Cos' we can always take but never give
    C#m7-5               Cm7
And now that things are changing for the worse,
    Em9  Em9         A9
See wow, its a crazy world we're living in
D9               Gm7           C#m7-5 Cm7
And I just can't see that half of us immersed in sin
   B7(#9)
Is all we have to give these

Cm7     B7      Em7     A7
Futures made of virtual insanity now
Cm7    B7          Em7              A7
Always seem to, be govern'd by this love we have
    Cm7      B7        Em7     A7
For useless, twisting, our new technology
    Cm7             B7             Em7      A7
Oh, now there is no sound, for we all live underground

        Em9             A9
And I'm thinking what a mess we're in
D9                 Gm7
Hard to know where to begin
C#m7-5              Cm7              B7(#9)          Em9
If I could slip the sickly ties that earthly man has made
Em9 A9        D9      Gm7            C#m7-5   
And now every mother, can choose the colour
Cm7  
Of her child
B7(#9) Em9
That's not nature's way

     Em9                         A9
Well that's what they said yesterday
        D9                     Gm7
There's nothing left to do but pray
  C#m7-5                    Cm7
I think it's time I found a new religion
Em9        A9
Waoh, it's so insane
    D9        Gm7
To synthesize another strain
        C#m7-5    
There's something in these
Cm7             B7(#9)
Futures that we have to be told.

Cm7     B7      Em7     A7
Futures made of virtual insanity now
Cm7    B7          Em7              A7
Always seem to, be govern'd by this love we have
    Cm7      B7        Em7     A7
For useless, twisting, our new technology
    Cm7             B7             Em7      A7
Oh, now there is no sound, for we all live underground

Cm7             B7
Now there is no sound
Em7            A7
If we all live underground
Cm7                  B7
And now it's virtual insanity
Em7                 A7
Forget your virtual reality
Cm7                 B7
Oh, there's nothing so bad.
Em7    A7
I know yeah

Cm7     B7      Em7     A7
Futures made of virtual insanity now
Cm7    B7          Em7              A7
Always seem to, be govern'd by this love we have

Virtual insanity is what we're living in

Virtual Insanity, by Jamiroquai, is likely to be considered by most listeners as a song of mixed funk and acid jazz stylings. A fairly simple synocopated piano groove sets the stage for soul-style vocals, and while other instruments take a less aggressive role then one might expect for a funk song it is still easily classified as such. 

"Love Foolosophy" is the third single from British funk/acid jazz band Jamiroquai's fifth studio album, A Funk Odyssey.The song was written by Jason Kay and Toby Smith. The song's title is a play on words, using a makeshift homonym for "Philosophy" to imply that the singer is a fool for love, as it were.The song peaked at #14 on the UK Singles Chart. This song was also used in the credits for the unaired English pilot for Code Lyoko. The video features a man (Jay Kay) Read more on Last.fm.

           B
I'm going back to the time when we owned this town
      E
Down Powder Mill Lane, in the battlegrounds

                      B       
I didn't know I'd be finding out now I was torn from you
         E
When we thought about things we were gonna do
C#m      B                    G#m B  F# 
We were wide eyed dreamers and wiser too


Chorus:
               E              B 
Go down to the rides on East Parade,

Don't turn your back on me, don't walk away

Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café


Bridge:

I wheel my bike off the train,
        F#
Up the North Trade Road,
 E        B             F# 
Look for you on Marley Lane
                          G#m
In every building, every streetlight
                   E               F#  G#m  B  F#
Oh why did we ever go so far from home?


Verse 4:
                        B
You keep on leaving me mile long traces of who you are
         E
You can get a big house and a faster car
C#m      B                    G#m   B  F#
You can run away boy, but you won't go far

and you hate yourself and wanna die

A                                      E
when you're filled with anxiety
             D                   A
and everyone's your enemy

to remind yourself that you forgot

I dissected each sentence but kept coming up empty
D                         A
the way you are leaves me counting the days

American Dream 

G Bm Em A
Well everybody's lookin' for something they can't find,
Walking straight ahead blind-folded production line,
Only taking time for one type of shoe-shine.
Don't look left/right now you got a street fine.
Everybody lookin' for just a little more.
Working late-nights trying to fight off the day glow.
Waiting for the come-around but it is a no show.
Driving in the fast lane lookin' for the slow-mo...

C D A
Oh whats in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know well I don't know man anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time you,
Where were you, you weren't listenin', gonna be a long time
Gonna be a long time.

G Bm Em A
So now you're face down, face lookin like a frying pan.
Hitting up the clubs trying to feel like a real man.
Beating your chest just like you're King Kong but you're just a gui-tar no-string no-song.
Feeling free like ya don't even know it, man you're towing the line hoping you just don't blow it.
Man ya stuck in the mainframe trying to win the big game so much potential it even makes it more of a shame, shame, shame...
Here we go again, same old shit just another name.
Looking at the destiny there in your palm,
But now you got your strings but you got no song.
So sing, sing, sing - shake it like a chicken wing.
It's not what you get it's about what you bring-bring-bring.
So bring it, bring it to the table, not because you have to 'cos you're willing and you're able!

C D A
Oh what's in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know, I don't know anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time.
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time.
You, where were you, you weren't listening, gonna be a long time.
Gonna be a long time.

Gonna Be A Long Time

C#
There's a portrait
     Ab
In a back room
           F#
Which I'll keep for days upon
          C#
Which I relent 
              B
And gaze for hours on
    Bbm                  F#
The muscle, skin and bone
         Ab
Of some imaginary friend

F# Ab F#

        C#
So how about it 
        Ab
Show me please 
           F#
How I will look in twenty years
           C#
And let me please 
          B
Interpret history 
       Bbm        F#
In every line and scar 
               Ab                  
That's painted there in front of me

F# Ab F# Ab F# Ab

           C#
It doesn't matter
         Ab
What I'm thinking
       F#
What I tell myself to do
         C#      F#
I end up calling

       C#
I stay in to
                   Ab
Defrost the fridge
        F#
Now the kid has gone to bed
             C#
A feeling of dread
              B         
At least when she's around
    Bbm
The trouble's there
     F#                        Ab
It's worse to wake up with her falling 'round the room

F# Ab F# Ab F# Ab

       C#
Listen Johnny
              F#
You're like a mother
       C#                     F#
To the girl you've fallen for
                 C#
And you're still falling

       C#
Listen Johnny
              Ab
You're like a mother
       F#
To the girl you've fallen for
                 C#
And you're still falling

            B
And if they come tonight
       Bbm
You'll roll up tight
     F#             Ab
And take whatever's coming to you next (oh, oh oh oh)

 F# Ab to end.
