Capo 1st fret[Verse 1]
Finally, I’m crossing the threshold
From the ordinary world, to the reveal of my heart
Undoubtedly, that will for certain
Take the dead out of the sea, and the darkness from the arts
[Pre-Chorus 1]
This is my commitment (ah-ah-ahh)
My modern manifesto (ah-ahh)
I’m doing it for all of us (ah-ahh)
Who never got the chance (ah-ah ah-ah)
I’m in for ahhh (shut-up, shut-up)
And all my Birds of Paradise (shut-up, shut-up)
Who never got to fly at night (shut-up, shut-up)
‘Cause they were caught up in the dens (ah-ah ah-ah ahh)
[Chorus 1]
Sometimes it feels like I’ve got a war in my mind
I want to get off but I keep riding the ride
I never really notice that I had to decide
To play someone’s game or live my own life
(play only open low E-string, not full E chord):
And now I do, I want to move
Out of the black (out of the black), into the blue (into the blue)
[Verse 2]
Finally, gone is the burden
Of the crowdly way of being, that comes from energies combined
Like my part was I, was not discerning
And you as we found out, were not in your right mind
[Pre-Chorus 2]
There’s no more chasing rainbows (ah-ahh)
And hoping for an end to them (ah-ahh)
Their arches are illusions (ah-ahh)
Solid at first glance (ah-ah ah-ah)
But then you try to touch them (touch, touch)
There’s nothing to hold on to (hold, hold)
The colors used to lure you in (you in)
And put you in a trance (ah-ah ah-ah ahh)
[Chorus 2]
Sometimes it feels like I’ve got a war in my mind
I want to get off but I keep riding the ride
I never really notice that I had to decide
To play someone’s game or live my own life
(play only open low E-string, not full E chord):
And now I do, I want to move
Out of the black (out of the black), into the blue (into the blue)
Out of the black (out of the black), into the blue (into the blue)
