Verse 1

F#m                                         A
Every new day is a gift; it's a song of redemption
F#m                                 A
Any expression of love is a way to return
D                                                    A
To that place that I think of so often but now never mention
E                                                          F#m
The one the voice in the back of my head says that I don't deserve

Verse 2

F#m                                               A
Come fire, come water, come karma, we're all in transition
F#m                                       A
The Wheel of Becoming erases the physical mind
D                                               A
Till all the remains is a staircase of misinformation
E                                                F#m
And the code we inherit, the basis, the essence of life

Chorus

Bm                   E                A                 D
So I go umbrella under my arm into the green of the radar
Bm           E              A
How did it get so dark in the day?
Bm          E             A                      D
It's just so bizarre, is it true what we're made of?
Bm          E                  A
Why do I hide from the rain?

Verse 3

F#m                                              A
Inside some cloudy nostalgia where there are no features
F#m                                                    A
We look at ourselves through a porthole, the passage of time
D                                                         A
See that sunny day that we snuck down, hid under the bleachers
E                                              F#m
Kissed as the band marched, everything fell into line
 
Chorus

Bm                 E                A                 D
So I go umbrella under my arm into the green of the radar
Bm                     E              A
How did it get so dark in the day?
Bm         E             A                      D
It's just so bizarre, is it true what we're made of?
Bm          E                  A
Why do I hide from the rain?


Bridge


F#m        
Sure I had my doubts
D             A
But I know it now
                 D 
We are jejune stars


F#m          
SO it starts again
D                   A
At our childhood's end
                     D
I'll die young at heart


Chorus


Bm               E                A                 D
So I go umbrella under my arm into the green of the radar
Bm                     E              A
How did it get so dark in the day?
Bm           E             A                      D
It's just so bizarre, is it true what we're made of?
Bm      E                  A
Why do I hide from the rain?
