C              G/B
I was a timid Rockwellian boy
F                     G
She was tattooed and ready to deploy
C            G/B
Gave me reservation and the like
F                     G
But she could be the dangerous type

C
But I threw caution 'cause
 G                    F
something about that yin and the yang
     G                    Am    Em        F     G
Was pushing my boundaries out beyond my imagining

Chorus:
                C
While you were out there,
            G                F
chewing on fat for probable cause
       G
I let go
               Am                 Em
While you were out there weighing odds
          F            G
I was imploding the mirage
                C                      G
While you were out there looking like that
             F                   G
I struck my name from the camouflage
          Am             Em
I wasn't lost in the collage
          F       G    Am G C
I was imploding the mirage
          F G          C
I was imploding the mirage

I had to do it, I had no other choice
You've got to listen to the inside voice
A bullet train will get you there fast
But it won't guarantee a long last
Sometimes it takes a little bit of courage and doubt
To push your boundaries out beyond your imagining

Chorus

       Am
I was spellbound by the show
               E
The matchless power of the glow
       C                                 D/F#
I was bound by golden shackles, getting by
                 Am
She tripped the breaker, blew the fuse
         E
Doesn't need no pair of shoes
                Am              G              Fm
Her wings have come, and she's ready for the sky

Chorus
