E5           F#5        C#5 
I've had it with this town 
E5          F#5        B5        E5 
I never    saw those shifting skies 
E5        F#5      C#5 
I never  saw the ground 
A5                F#5 
Or the sunset    rise 
A5                    E5        F#5     C#5 
I want to live on an abstract plain 
 

E5           F#5        C#5 
I'm     building    a frame 
E5          F#5        B5        E5 
A place to put my    ten yard stare 
E5        F#5      C#5 
Thinking of that paint 
A5                F#5 
Painted in plein-air 
A5                    E5        F#5     C#5 
I want to live on an abstract plain

C#5            A5 
I need a       new address 

I want some    new terrain 

Is it north or south 
A5                    E5        F#5    C#5 
I want to live on an abstract plain

E5       F#5         C#5          
I could sit on the roof           |  
E5  F#5          B5        E5         | --- slightly muted 
On top of that abstract house     |  
E5          F#5       C#5           |  
And see my abstract view        / 
A5           F#5 
An abstract mouse 
A5                    E5        F#5     C#5 
I want to live on an abstract plain 
 
{bridge} 
 

C#5            A5 
I need a       new address 

Tell me I'm    not insane 

Is it up or    down 
A5                    E5        F#5     C#5 
I want to live on an abstract plain
