Verse (00:48)
 
repeat the guitar riff from the intro as follows:
 
A                            Fm
The bicycles inside your skull
                             A
Send you away and off you go
                              Fm                                       A
Into the street where all the pretty girls collect their thoughts for you
                             Fm                             A
And pin them onto clouds and trees and aggravate your paranoid
                                 Fm                                  D
And shivering fears and rolling eggs, can you not see a star out there?
 
Chorus (1:22)
 
strum D (x5423x or x5777x) and A now
 
D                                    A
Where all the bricks are bright and free
D                                    A
Where all the bricks are bright and elegant and free

Verse II (1:49)
 
A                            Fm
The lizard skins around yourself
                                  A
Drop off and let the others through
                                   Fm
In reds and whites and blacks and blues
                              A
Each facet shines or breaks anew
                            Fm                                A
And in a big tall building she lets out her hair into the street
                                      Fm
Where cars and trucks career through it
                                  D
Until the ends get wrecked and split
 
Chorus (2:22)
 
D                                    A
Where all the doors are bright and free
D                                 A
and all the doors are bright and elegant and free

       Fm           Fm
The sun revolves around the sun
      A              A
And then around a bright black moon
    Fm        Fm               A                 A
And in a café by the sea you stir your tea and suck your spoon
     Fm                    Fm                 A
And when your breakfast comes you're miles away
               A
And all your eggs get cold
         Fm                 Fm
You're where the light is blinding bright
     A        A
And all the windows tilt to you
