Em G
every new day is a gift , it’s a song of redemption
Em G
any expression of love is the way to return
C G
to that place that i think of so often , but now never mention
D Em
the one the voice in the back of my head says that i don’t deserve

Em
come fire , come water , come karma
G
we’re all in transition
Em G
the wheel i’m becoming erases the physical mind
C G
until all that remains is a staircase of misinformation
D Em
and the code we inherit , the basis , the essence of life

Am D
so i go , umbrella under my arm
G C
into the green of the radar
Am D G
how’d it get so dark in the day?
Am D
it’s just so bizarre
G C
is it true what we’re made of?
Am D G
why do i hide from the rain?

Em C G

Em
inside’s so cloudy , nostalgia
G
but there are no features
Em
look at ourselves through a porthole
G
the passage of time
C G
see that sunny day that we snuck out , hid under the bleachers
D
kissed as the band marched
G
everything fell into line

Em

Am D
so i go , umbrella under my arm
G C
into the green of the radar
Am D G
how’d i get so lost? i’m amazed .
Am D
it’s just so bizarre
G C
all the things i’m afraid of .
Am D G
why do i hide from the rain?

Am D G C
Am D G x2

Em
sure i have my doubts
C
but i know it now
G D/F# C
we are jejune stars
Em
so it starts again
C
at our childhood’s end
G D/F# C
i’ll die young at heart

Em

Am D
so i go , umbrella under my arm
G C
into the green of the radar
Am D G
how’d it get so dark in the day?
Am D
it’s just so bizarre
G C
is it true what we’re made of?
Am D G
why do i hide from the rain?
