A (x02220@1)                        F#m (244222@1)          DWhere (xx0232@1)we're the spiraling arms of all galaxies
A (x02220@1)                    F#m (244222@1)         DAnd (xx0232@1)we're the microscopic sand
A (x02220@1)                            F#m (244222@1)       DSuffering (xx0232@1)from delusions of ungrandeur on middling display

Off we flew like swarms of hornets
F#m (244222@1)            D'Woken (xx0232@1)up' from winter's rest

AWhile (x02220@1)all year round potter wasp
      F#m (244222@1)        DHas (xx0232@1)buzzed her unhinged song
AYou (x02220@1)can hear its creaking in our floorboards
