At the     transit of Venus ‘cross the     sun
 
           C
As you’re     gathering dust
G/B                              C
        Ancient dragons and the     cicadas come

        Edges jagged as you’re      coming undone
        F                               C       G/B – C
On the     white soft feathers of your     bed

You know how      hard I try
G6                            F                  G
     But I won’t get nowhere     analyzing your     life

     Can’t remove yourself from      what you have done
        F                              C        G/B
On the     rack where your reputation     lies 
        C
Do you     want to exist
G/B                                 C
     Between the lightning and the     mental bliss
G/B                               Am
     Or needing nothing and with     no one to miss
        F                          C           G/B – C

F                           C
    When you become a re -     cluse 
 
                  Am
Well don’t be so     nervous now
G6                       F                         G
    All I want is to be     dancing round in your     light
                           Dm7
With the colours that you       choose

They’re     watching a game of     thrones
     C                        D
And     wondering what comes    next
      F
Well     you can’t do that

And you     must come back
