Intro: A5 / Bb5 / D5
A5 Bb5 D5
When you feel the spiral turning for you alone
A5 Bb5 D5
And you feel so heavy that you just can’t stop it.
A5 Bb5 D5
When this sea of madness turns you into stone
A5 Bb5 D5
A picture of your life shoots like a rocket
C5
All the time
Bb5 A5 F5 G5
Put me in the equation it’s alright
Bb5 A5 F5 G5
I’ve seen you moving in and out of sight
Bb5 A5 G5 / F5 / G5
My friends tell me it’s all cut through you
G5 / F5 / G5
From nowhere —
to nowhere
Cut together —
cutting through
A5 Bb5 D5
I’m island-bound, a mote inside my eye
A5 Bb5 D5
I can’t see you breathing as before
A5 Bb5 D5
I am airless — a vacuum child
A5 Bb5 D5
I can’t stand to reason at your door
C5
In this time
Bb5 A5 F5 G5
Put me in the equation it’s alright
Bb5 A5 F5 G5
I’ve seen you moving in and out of sight
Bb5 A5 G5 / F5 / G5
My friends tell me it’s all cut through you
G5 / F5 / G5
From nowhere —
to nowhere
Cut together —
D#5 G5 (10th fret, A string)
I’m down in the daytime out of sight
D#5 G5
Comin’ in from dreamland I’m on fire
D#5 G5
I can see it’s all been here before
D#5 G5
Dream a dream that lies right at your door
D5 / G5 / D5 / G5 / D5 / G5 / D5 / G5 /
A5 Bb5 D5
When the seasons circle sideways out of turn
A5 Bb5 D5
And words don’t speak just fall across the carpet
A5 Bb5 D5
You’re just in time to watch the fires burn
A5 Bb5 D5
It seems a crime but yr. face is bright you love it
C5
All the time…
