Intro
| Amaj7 Dmaj7 | Emaj7 Dmaj7 | (x4)
Verse
[Amaj7] I tried to [Dmaj7]tell you, I [Emaj7]didn’t know how to [Dmaj7]stay
You [Amaj7]believe she can [Dmaj7]see through, [Emaj7]cutting at the silent [Dmaj7]clay
A [Amaj7]re-lief, beckon [Dmaj7]deep blue, [Emaj7]fettered in the magnet [Dmaj7]sun
Eat the [Amaj7]gun as it [Dmaj7]feeds you, [Emaj7]spitting up the [Dmaj7]oxy-gen
Once [Amaj7]a-gain [Dmaj7] [Emaj7] [Dmaj7]
Once [Amaj7]a-gain [Dmaj7][Dmaj7][Emaj7]
Once [Amaj7]a-gain, empty [Dmaj7]horses, [Emaj7]gallop through the violet [Dmaj7]door
Follow [Amaj7]red, crooked [Dmaj7]courses, [Emaj7]shadows on the moonlit [Dmaj7]floor
Oh my [Amaj7]stars, winged [Dmaj7]creatures, [Emaj7]gathering in silken [Dmaj7]height
Like the [Amaj7]last human [Dmaj7][Emaj7]teachers[Dmaj7]
Once [Amaj7]a-gain, we must [Dmaj7]bleed new, [Emaj7]even as the hours [Dmaj7]shake
Crystal [Amaj7]blood like a [Dmaj7]dream true, a [Emaj7]ripple in the wound [Dmaj7]and wake
You [Amaj7]be-lieve, I [Dmaj7]be-lieve too, that [Emaj7]you are the river of [Dmaj7]light
Who I [Amaj7]love that I [Dmaj7]cling to, in the [Emaj7]belly of the empty [Dmaj7]night
Chorus
From the [A]thirty first [F#m]floor, of the [Emaj7]simulation [Dmaj7]swarm
With the [A]drone of [F#m]fluor-escence, flicker, [Emaj7]fever, fill the [Dmaj7]form
With a [F#m]warm gush how I[Emaj7] wanna touch, like we [A]never could [Dmaj7]be-fore
I’d [A]fly to you [F#m]to-morrow, I’m not [Emaj7]fighting in this [Dmaj7]war
I wanna [A]drop my arms and [F#m]take your arms and [Emaj7]walk you to the [Dmaj7]shore
Verse
[Amaj7] I [Dmaj7]re-member, [Emaj7]building an energy [Dmaj7]shield
In your [Amaj7]room, like a [Dmaj7]temple, [Emaj7]swallows in the windless [Dmaj7]field
Very [Amaj7]thin, with your [Dmaj7]mother, [Emaj7]tall as a pale green [Dmaj7]tree
Very [Amaj7]wild, bright as [Dmaj7]winter, [Emaj7]rising with a prism [Dmaj7]key
And a [Amaj7]child to [Dmaj7]de-liver, [Emaj7]taken with the blood and [Dmaj7]vine
It's the [Amaj7]first little [Dmaj7][Emaj7]angel[Dmaj7]
Solo
| A F#m | D Bm | (x4)
Verse
[Amaj7] Little [Dmaj7]Andy, [Emaj7]soft in your newborn [Dmaj7]skin
Only [Amaj7]one, little [Dmaj7]Andy, [Emaj7]will you return [Dmaj7]a-gain
I [Amaj7]be-lieve we can [Dmaj7]re-new, and [Emaj7]you could be my [Dmaj7]brother
Once [Amaj7]a-gain, fall [Dmaj7]a-sleep with, our [Emaj7]backs against each [Dmaj7]other
You [Amaj7]be-lieve, I [Dmaj7]be-lieve too, that [Emaj7]you are the river of [Dmaj7]light
Who I [Amaj7]love that I [Dmaj7]sing to, in the [Emaj7]belly of the empty [Dmaj7]night
Chorus
From the [A]thirty first [F#m]floor, of the [Emaj7]simulation [Dmaj7]swarm
With the [A]drone of [F#m]fluor-escence, flicker, [Emaj7]fever, fill the [Dmaj7]form
With a [F#m]warm gush how I[Emaj7] wanna touch, like we [A]never could [Dmaj7]be-fore
I’d [A]fly to you [F#m]to-morrow, I’m not [Emaj7]fighting in [Dmaj7]this war
I wanna [A]drop my arms and [F#m]take your arms and [Emaj7]walk you to the [Dmaj7]shore
I’d [A]fly to you [F#m]to-morrow, I’m not [Emaj7]fighting in [Dmaj7]this war
I wanna [A]drop my arms and [F#m]take your arms [Emaj7][Dmaj7]
