F#m                       Dmaj7 D Dmaj7 D
Things will never be the same
F#m                       Dmaj7 D Dmaj7 D
Still I'm awfully glad I came
Bm7                Dmaj7 D  Dmaj7  D  Dmaj7
Resonating in the shape of things to come
Bm7                   Dmaj7 D   Dmaj7 D Dmaj7
Never waiting when I know there's  only one

Messed it up, but rest assured
No one ever thinks they're cured
Just a minute while I reinvent myself
Make it up, and then I take it off the shelf

A         E
Over the laws of light
F         C
Over the moon by midnight
A           E
Let's do it all this time
F                Fmaj7
Everyone wishing well we go, and

Chorus:
C   G      D A C G       D A
Everyone knows anything goes, and now
 C          G
We are the lotus kids
     D           A
Oh, better take note of this
C         G D
For the story

The rising moon is on the shine
The blood of Scorpio's a nine
Like the fear that's in the eyes of every doe
Say it now, 'cause John and Jane would like to know

Is it safe inside your head?
Songs to serenade the dead
All along, I said I know no enemies
Mix it up until there are no pedigrees

Over the laws of light
Over the moon by midnight
Let's do it all this time
Everyone wishing well we go, and…

Chorus

Over the laws of light
Over the moon by midnight
Let's do it all this time
Into the shadow showing

A          E
Enter the rolling tide
F        C
Over the ocean so wide
A           E
Let's do it all this time
F                Fmaj7
Everyone wishing well we go

Chorus - x3
