D5
So tired
Bb5
Soul searching 
A5
I followed the sounds to a cathedral
D5            Bb5                     A5                                            
Imagine my surprise to find that they were produded by Brian Eno

Verse:
D5
Past the gates
Bb5
Quite stark
A5                       A5
The roses trimmed and the windows dark
D5                       Bb5
I see the walls through a limestone crack
A5                     A5
Not red, not blue, not yellow, but black
G5                        A5 (barre)
And all the space left for you
G5
If the sky was synthesized you'd probably know

D5           Bb5
He taught me many things
A5               A5
The wisdom of o' bleak stratagems
D5               Bb5
The prophet of a sapphire soul
A5               A5
Presented through creative freedoms
G5                      A5 (barre)
And everything I say is true
G5
'Cause if i was telling lies it'd probably show

Chorus:
D5                   B5
I can tell that he's kind of smiling
G5
But what does he know?
D5               B5
We're always one step behind him
G5
He's Brian Eno (Brian Eno)
A5
Brian Eno! (Brian Eno!)

Verse:
When I was stuck he'd make me memorize elaborate curses
Tinctures and formulas 
To ditch the choir and flip the verses
My whole foundation came unglued
When I tried to humanize by ambient light

Chorus:
Dipping swords in metaphors yeah 
But what does he know?
He's go the whole world behind him 
He's Brian Eno (Brian Eno)
Brian Eno! (Brian Eno!)

Breakdown:
D5         Bb5                A5
He promised pretty worlds and all the silence I could dream of

Brian Peter George St. John
Le Baptiste de la Salle Eno

D5                     B5                      G5

(What does he know?)
D5                  B5                     G5
The creature by the water feature with a ghostly glow 
(Brian Eno!)
D5                           B5
Yeah, he's making sure that time's preserved well

We reap what we sow

We're always one step behind him 
G5
He's Brian Eno! (Brian Eno!)

I'm always one step behind him
G5
He's Brian Eno! (Brian Eno!)
