F#m                                 A
Bells around St. Petersburg when I saw you
  F#m                               A              E
I hope I get what you deserve and this is where I find
F#m                                       A
Smoke surround your perfect face and I'm falling
F#m                                  A              E
Pushing a broom out into space and this is where I find a way

Chorus:
     Bm                 D
The stadium arcadium a mirror to the moon
(a mirror to the moon)
           A
Well, I'm forming and I'm warming
      E
The state of the art until the clouds come crashing
   Bm
Stranger things have happened both
   D
Before and afternoon
(before and afternoon)
           A
Well, I'm forming and I'm warming
 E                                        F#m
Pushing myself and no I don't mind asking now

Alone inside my forest room and it's storming
I never thought I'd be in bloom
But this is where I start
(Derelict days and the stereo plays
For the all night crowd that it cannot phase)
And I'm calling
(Tedious weeds that the media breeds
But the animal gets what the animal needs)
And I'm sorry

Chorus

      A              E
And this is where I find
F#m                                 A
Rays of dust that wrap around your citizen
F#m                          A               E
Kind enough to disavow and this is where I stand

Chorus:
The stadium arcadium a mirror to the moon
(a mirror to the moon)
Well, I'm forming and I'm warming
The state of the art until the clouds come crashing
Stranger things have happened both
Before and afternoon
(before and afternoon)
Well, I'm forming and I'm warming
Pushing myself and no I don't mind asking

The stadium arcadium a mirror to the moon
(a mirror to the moon)
Well, I'm forming and I'm warming
The state of the art until the clouds come crashing
Stranger things have happened both
Before and afternoon(before and afternoon)
Well, I'm forming and I'm warming to you.
