Intro
C#m E x2
 
Verse
C#m E
I need a taste, I can almost face myself
C#m E
There is a way, a never-ending pavement cast
C#m E
Land on a date such a long, long way, way back
C#m E
Which has a crave for the path that ends in black
 
PreChorus
F#m A C#7 Aaug Ddim
I gotta fade another day
F#m A C#7/9- C#7 Ddim (C#)
I can taste it, I can feel it Aaaaaaaaah
 
[Refrão]Bbm C# G# F# Bbm C# G# F#
And you can have, you can have my face right now Yeaaeeaahh oooh
Bbm C# G# F#
Standing back from the lapse
C#m E Eb Gaug
Children are what you are
 
C#m E x2
 
verse 2
C#m E
Tim Gilbert weighs internally more than the scales say
C#m E
Carries a weight such that no eyes see in air
C#m E
Jean Nealy views from a place where time is flat
C#m E
She sees a haze that could penetrate more black
 
PreChorus
F#m A C#7 Aaug Ddim
She's gotta seize who sees
F#m A
And she wants to live in lightning
C#7/9- C#7
God, (God shrinking multiplicity you are)
(Ddim)
You, are
 
[Refrão]Bbm C# G# F# Bbm C# G# F#
And you can have, you can have my fate right now
Bbm C# G# F#
Another grave, another blank
C#m E Eb Gaug
Children are what you are
Bm D A G
Landscapes come and pass my way
Dm F G#aug
Vision goes in a car
Cm D# A# G#
What you say, another day
D#m F# Aaug/C# Aaug
Above you, you mostly are
Bbm C# G# F#
And in the cradle, a newborn babe
C#m E Gaug/B Gaug*
Is a dot in the war
Cm D# A# G#
Spreads its wings, intervenes
D#m F# Aaug/C# (Aaug)
Human atop a star
 
Rap Part
Bbm G# Ebm F# (G#)
