VERSE 1

F#m          A           C#m      Bm
When I was a young boy I tried to listen

F#m         A         C#m
And I wanna feel like that

F#m          A       C#m       Bm
Little white shadows blink and miss them

F#m       A       C#m
Part of a system, I am

VERSE 2

If you ever feel like something's missing
Things you'll never understand
Little white shadows
Sparkle and glisten
Part of a system, a plan

D               Bm
All this noise, I'm waking up

D               Bm
All this space, I'm taking up

D             Bm
I cannot hear you're breaking up

D       E
Ohhhhhhhh

F#m                       D
Maybe you'll get what you wanted

A                         C#m
maybe you'll stumble upon it

F#m                 D
Everything you ever wanted

A              C#m
In a permanent state

Maybe you'll know when you see it
Maybe if you say it, you'll mean it
And when you find it you'll keep it
In a permanent state, a permanent state

VERSE 3

When I was a young boy I tried to listen
Don't you wanna feel like that?
You're part of the human race
All of the stars and the outer space
Part of the system, a plan

D               Bm
All this noise, I'm waking up

D               Bm
All this space, I'm taking up

D             Bm
I cannot hear you're breaking up

D       E
Ohhhhhhhh

F#m                       D
Maybe you'll get what you wanted

A                         C#m
maybe you'll stumble upon it

F#m                 D
Everything you ever wanted

A              C#m
In a permanent state

Maybe you'll know when you see it
Maybe if you say it, you'll mean it
And when you find it you'll keep it
In a permanent state, a permanent state

F#m
Swam on a sea of faces

D
A tide of the human races

A                           C#m
Oh, an answer now is what I need

See it in a new sun rising
See it break on your horizon
Oh, come on love, stay with me
