In uncertain [G#] voice, what you should do, as if [E] there were a choice, but to [D] carry on, miming the [C#m] song, [A] and hope that it all [F#m] works out right.
all seems so [C#] strange, my spirit [A] feels rigid, my body [G#] deranged.
only from one point [C#] of view, and we can't [A] have illusion between [E] me and you, my [D] constant friend.
man.
I [C#] [F#m] [D#m] reflect, [E] it's very [B] strange, to be going through [D] this change, with no idea of [G] what it's all been about, except for the [A#] context of time.

In uncertain [G#] voice, what you should do, as if [E] there were a choice, but to [D] carry on, _ miming the [C#m] song, [A] and hope that it all [F#m] works out right.
_ Tonight, _ [B] it all seems so [C#] strange, my spirit [A] feels rigid, my body [G#] deranged.
_ [F#m] Still that's only from one point [C#] of view, and we can't [A] have illusion between [E] me and you, my [D] constant friend.
Ever [C#m] closer to hand, you [E] and the [F#m] undercover man.

I [C#] _ [F#m] _ _ _ [D#m] reflect, [E] _ _ it's very [B] strange, to be going through [D] this change, with no idea of [G] what it's all been about, except for the [A#] context of time.
Oh, but I shudder, _ I'm half alive now.

_ [F#m] It's cracked, _ smashed and [Em] bursting over you, [D] there was no reason to expect [C] such disaster.
_ _ [Em] Panicking, you fuss [D#] for air, drowning, you know [G] you care for nothing, and no [C#] one but yourself.
[G] And would deny, even this hand which [B] stretches out towards [G] you to help.
But would I leave you, [C] in this moment of your trial?
[B] _ [G] Is it my fault, that [C] I'm here to see you [Am] [B] crying?
These [Am] phantom figures [F] all around you, [Am] should have told you, you should have found out [G] by now.
[C] If you hadn't gone and tried to do it all by [C] yourself.

_ If you look [D] out at the night, you'll see the colours [G] and the lights.
Things that say people [A#] are not far away, at least in distance.
And it's only our [F] own non-resistance that's [C] making us stay.
_ _ _ _ _ [D] When the madness comes, let it flood [G] on down and [A] over me, sweetly.
[D] Let it drown the parts of me weak [G] and less than damned.
[D] Let it take my life, let it take [G] my soul, I'm dreaming completely.
[D] Let [C] it be [G] who I _ am.
[D] There may not be time for us all to [G] run in tandem [A] together.
The [D] horizon calls with its parallel [G] lines.
