E5    C5 G5
E5    C5

E5                                        G5
Every new day is a gift, it's a song of redemption
E5                                     G5
Any expression of love is the way to return
        C5                                             G5
To that place that I think of so often, but now never mention
    D5                                                        E5
The one the voice in the back of my head says that I don't deserve

     E5                                   
Come fire, come water, come karma
             G5
We're all in transition
    E5                                     G5
The wheel I'm becoming erases the physical mind
      C5                                         G5
Until all that remains is a staircase of misinformation
        D5                                          E5
And the code we inherit, the basis, the essence of life

         A5                D5
So I go, umbrella under my arm
         G5            C5
Into the green of the radar
A5             D5            G5
How'd it get so dark in the day?
A5           D5
It's just so bizarre
      G5                       C5
Is it true what we're made of?
A5       D5             G5
Why do I hide from the rain?

E5   C5  G5

 E5                        
Inside's so cloudy, nostalgia
                 G5
But there are no features
E5               
Look at ourselves through a porthole
               G5
The passage of time
         C5                                          G5
See that sunny day that we snuck out, hid under the bleachers
D5
Kissed as the band marched
                     G5
Everything fell into line

E5

         A5                D5
So I go, umbrella under my arm
         G5            C5
Into the green of the radar
A5             D5         G5
How'd I get so lost? I'm amazed.
A5             D5
It's just so bizarre
        G5           C5
All the things I'm afraid of.
A5     D5               G5
Why do I hide from the rain?

A5 D5 G5 C5
A5 D5 G5      x2
 
E5           
   Sure I have my doubts
C5
   But I know it now
G5         D5   C5
   We are Jejune stars
E5
   So it starts again
C5
   At our childhood's end
G5           D5     C5
   I'll die young at heart

E5

         A5                D5
So I go, umbrella under my arm
         G5            C5
Into the green of the radar
A5              D5           G5
How'd it get so dark in the day?
A5             D5
It's just so bizarre
      G5               C5
Is it true what we're made of?
A5       D5                   G5
Why do I hide from the rain?
