G#m                B
There's a fragile tension
               E       B B/D# G#m
That's keeping us going
                   B
It may not last forever
                    E   B  B/D#
But oh, when it's flowing

D#m                G#m            D#  C#m E
There's something magical in the air
D#m            Gm               D#  C#m E
Something so tragic we have to care

There's a strange obsession
That's drawing us nearer
We don't understand it
It never gets clearer

Chorus:
There's something mystical in our dreams
So simplistic it kicks and screams

G#m            F#
Oh when we're teetering
E               B/D#
On the edge of collapse
C#m          B      A#   G#m
Nothing can keep us down

There's a dizzying feeling
That's keeping us flying
Some glittering gauntlet
Without even trying

Chorus:
There's something radical in our hands
Nothing logical to our plans
