E             F#       C#
   I've had it with this town
E          F#        B        E
   I never saw those shifting skies
           F#     C#
   I never saw the ground
A                F#
   Or the sunset rise
A                       E       F#      C#
   I want to live on an abstract plain

E      F#        C#
   I'm building a frame
E            F#      B       E 
   A place to put my ten-yard stare
            F#     C# 
   Thinking of that paint
*A                 F#
   Painted in plein-air
A                       E       F#     C#
   I want to live on an abstract plain

C#m        Am
   I need a new address
C#m           Am
   I want some new terrain
 C#              A
   Is it North or South?
                        E       F#     C#
   I want to live on an abstract plain

 E        F#         C#
   I could sit on the roof
E    F#           B       E 
   On top of that abstract house
          F#      C#
   See my abstract view
*A            F#
   An abstract mouse
A                       E       F#     C#
   I want to live on an abstract plain

C#m         Am
   I need a new address
C#m           Am
   Tell me I'm not insane
C#             A
   Is it up or down?
                        E       F#     C#
   I want to live on an abstract plain
