[Part 1]
A D C#m
Metanoia, reshaping the world
Cm
It can teach you
D# D
And reprogram you
C#m D
It can show you the flood
E A
That's trapped inside
D C#m
This one's alive
Cm
The tail is breathing
D# D
And she's listening
C#m
Kill the serpent
D E A
Divide, disperse and grow
D C#m
Into an oak
Cm D# D
A silver lining on a black scale
C#m D E A
Wicked hunter on three hooves he still rode
D C#m
But where is the fourth?
Cm
You can climb there
D# D
To your lofty perch
C#m D E A
It can teach you the fairytale of hurt
[Break]
A – Bm - G# - F# - C#
[Part 2]
C# G#
Mystic referee, don't look on me with scorn
C# G#
I'm a child, I'm a lover being born
D#
Satchidananda
C# (riff)
Disregard the path I'm on
(repeat chords of part 2)
You can justify the action, should you bless
My ambition and my indecisiveness
Satchidananda
Let me know that you exist
B F#
Watch me tremble as I'm answering the phone
B F# F
I am separate from everything you know
F# G#
(repeat chords earlier in part 2)
Mystic referee I promise to return
Once I've given up and lessons have been learned
Satchidananda
You can watch my fire burn
Part 3: No chords
We were talkin' junk right,
Just before the show
This wild-eyed kid came up to the fence
He took one look at us, and he said:
A
"Help me,
C
Drummer,
A
Ticket,
C
Yeah!"
A
We didn't play his favorite song,
A G
Now he'll never come to another show
(repeat this sentence until fade in of part 4)
[Part 4]
Section four:
repeat these chords 7 times: A C G F#m F
Hospitals and woods confirm
Red in the eyes of everyone
Parasites and lovers scrape the meat from bones
Turned into jade and tiger's eye
Save me some dark hair over a face like hers
She'll help the rain come to a pour
Bathroom floor of stone and tiles broke in two
Warm where they touch her porcelain
Timid skin I'm careful to untie this road
Wrapped in a knot indifferent
Lion's foot unearthing all the things i've seen
But never truly understood
Rotten wood from oceans that were never green
Crumbles beneath the canopy
Secretly
F# G#
Let's pretend we never touched the sugar
C# F# F# Fm
(These last F# and Fm chords are played high on the fretboard.)
