tuning : standard

this song also sounds really good using power chords .

A A# Dm
when you see the spiral turning through alone
A A# Dm
and you feel so heavy that you just can’t stop it
A A# Dm
when this sea of madness turns you into stone
A A# Dm
picture of your life shoots like a rocket
C
all the time

[ chorus ]
A# A F C Dm
put ’me’ in the equation it’s alright
A# A F C Dm
i’ve seen you moving in and out of sight
A# A G G F G F G
my friends tell me it’s all cut through you
G G F G F G
from nowhere
G G F G F G
to nowhere
G G F G F G
cut together
cutting through

A A# Dm
i’m island – bound , a mote inside my eye
A A# Dm
i can’t see you breathing as before
A A# Dm
i Am airless – a vacuum child
A A# Dm
i can’t stand to reason at your door
C
in this time

[ chorus ]

A# Dm
i’m down in the daytime out of sight
A# Dm
comin’ in from dreamland , i’m on fire
A# Dm
i can see it’s all been here before
A# Dm
dream a dream that lies right at your door

A Dm A Dm

A A# Dm
when the seasons circle sideways out of turn
A A# Dm
and words don’t speak just fall across the carpet
A A# Dm
you’re just in time to watch the fires burn
A A# Dm
it seems a crime but yr . face is bright you love it
C
all the time . . .
