[Intro]
E C#m E C#m
[Verse 1]
E C#m
Looked in the mirror
E C#m
So many people standing there
A
I walked towards them
E C#m E C#m
Into the floodlights
E C#m E
I heard no echo (No echo)
C#m A
There was distortion everywhere (Everywhere)
A
I found my ego (My ego)
E C#m E C#m
I felt rubato standing there
E C#m E
Found my transcendence (Transcendence)
C#m A
It played in mono painted blue (Painted blue)
A
You were the Pierrot (The Pierrot)
E
I was the dark room (The dark room)
[Chorus]
G#m7 C#m E
I'm a shine a light in your eyes (In your eyes)
G#m7 C#m
You'll probably shine it back on me
A
But I won't fall this time
E C#m E C#m
With Godspeed I'll heed the signs
[Verse 2]
E C#m E
I saw the solstice (The solstice)
C#m A
The service station on the road (On the road)
A
I took the acid (The acid)
A
Under the white horses (Down the road)
E C#m E
My heart it quickened (It quickened)
C#m A
I could not tear myself away (Myself away)
A
Became addiction (Addiction)
E
If you see darkness look away (Look away)
[Chorus]
G#m7 C#m E
I'm a shine a light in your eyes (Look away)
G#m7 C#m
You'll probably shine it back on me (Look away)
A
But I won't fall this time
E C#m E C#m
With Godspeed I'll heed the signs
[Verse 3]
E C#m E
Oh, glorious world (Glorious)
C#m A
Oh, potent waves valleys gone wild (Potent waves)
A
Connect us to love (Us to love)
E
And keep us peaceful for a while (For a while)
[Chorus]
G#m7 C#m E
I'm a shine a light in your eyes (For a while)
G#m7 C#m
You will probably shine it back on me (For a while)
Amaj7
But I won't fall this time
E
With Godspeed I'll heed the signs
C#m E
I'm a shine a light in your eyes (In your eyes, in your eyes)
C#m
You'll probably shine it back on me (In your eyes)
Amaj7
But I won't fall this time
Amaj7
With Godspeed I'll heed the signs
Amaj7
But I won't fall this time
Amaj7
With Godspeed I'll heed the signs
[Outro]

Ah, you beat me to it! Great job thoigh! I was really hoping that they would release new material with the upcoming tour. Can't wait for the rest of the album. Cheers, mate!

Also, the only thing I noticed was a couple of lyrical mistakes: where you said 'I felt rebuttal standing there' it should be 'I felt rubato standing there'. In the chorus you said 'I'll be shining light in your eyes' when it's 'I'm going to shine a light in eyes' but Damon says it kinda like 'I'ma shine a light in your eyes'. The last one I noticed was where you said 'I took the asset' and its actually 'I took the acid' which really makes more sense with the rest of the verse (my heart it quickened; became addiction).

hi, to me it sounds like there's a G#-7 before C#m in the refrain. could it be?
