Am
Isolations, dotted lines
Seas of concrete, wild eyes
Streaking colors, blurred to one
                          F# F F# F
Always moving, blinding sun

          Am
Blinding sun
Coldest comfort, safety glass
Seasons turning, dying grass
California, gilded crowns
                          F#  F
Idle workers, counting down

Chorus:
            C    G/B
Somewhere down, down
 Am         F          C     G/B
Down in the ocean of sound, sound
       Am           F
We’ll live in slow-motion
     C  G/B
And be free
      Am                F
With doors unlocked and open
Am                 E  F
Doors unlocked and open

Isolations
Isolations
California, gilded crowns
Mile markers counting down

Chorus - x3

Somewhere down
Doors unlocked and open
Doors unlocked and open
Doors unlocked and open
