Verse     
|D2 |A |C9 |G |
D2                             A
as far as you take me, that's where I believe
     C9                      G
the realm of soft delusions, floating on the leaves
      D2                    A
on a distant shoreline, she waves her arms to me
    C9                         G
as all the thought police, are closing in for sleep
     D2                A
the dilly dally, of my bright lit stay 
     C9   
the steam of my misfortunes
     G                       A
has given me the power to be afraid
          C9       G
and in my mind I'm everyone
A               C9  
    and in my mind

Pre-Verse
Fig 1  - Fig 2                    
	       without a care in this whole world

                without a care in this life

        It's what you take that makes it right

Chorus
|D2 |A |
C9                       G 
Porcelina of the oceans blue?   (maybe it's sea?)
|D2 |A |
C9         G 
Porcelina, Porcelina

Verse
D2                   A
In the slipstream of thoughtless thoughts
     C9                           G
the light of all that's good, the light of all that's true
         D2                   A
to the fringes gladly, I walk unadorned
       C9                           G
with gods and their creations, with filth and disease
D2             A
porcelina, she waits for me there
     C9 
with seashell hissing lullabyes
    G                             A
and wispers fathom deep inside my own
       C9           G
hidden thoughts and alibis 
A            C9
   my secret thoughts come alive

Pv3
Fig1  - Fig 2  (add Fig 4)
            without a care in this whole world

Fig1 -  Fig 2   (add Fig 4)
            without a care in this life
Fig 2  (add Fig 4)               Fig 3
It's what you take that makes it right
                                                
Fig 2 (add Fig 4)
And in my mind I'm everyone
