Intro
Em Am B7
[Verso 1]
Em Am B7
Oh what a view out there from you prickly brain
D D7 B7
Clouds of candy floss that only signal torrential rain
Em Am Am/F#
Is the sky gray so crops can grow
D/A D7/F# B7
Or is the rain a mystery that you'll learn tommorow
[Refrão]
Em
Oh what's there
G A Am
In that prickly mind of yours
C D C B7
That could have been cherished but grew its thorns
B7
Each one born out of innocence I guess this is the best way
Em
Oh what's seen
G A Am
through those baby blue eyes of glass
C D C B7
that search and they scan as the world moves past
B7
So many things they shouldn't see I guess this is the best way
[Verso 2]
Em Am B7/F#
Travel the world for hours with your finger and thumb
D/A D7/F# B7
No long cold rainy days when you can shoot at zeroes and ones
Em Am Am/F#
As the earth falls apart and melts in front of your eyes
D/A D7/F# B7
Your future dissapears from all the mess we've left behind
[Refrão]
