they're played as shown)

*In this part, hit the first chord quickly and switch to D. This is 

much easier if you are in Db tuning, so you can hit the power chord 

and then strum the open D, A, and D strings. It should be pretty 

obvious what to do if you listen to the song.

VERSE ONE

D  A  C  G

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



CHORUS

A           C                   A
  Without a care in this life

It's what you take that makes it right

Porcelina, Porcelina



VERSE TWO

D                     A
In the slipstream, of thoughtless thoughts
    C                             G
The light of all that's good, the light of all that's true
       D                 A
To the fringes gladly, I walk unadorned
     C
With gods and their creations
     G
With filth and disease
D              A
Porcelina, she waits for me there
     C
With seashell hissing lullabyes
    G                                A
And whispers fathomed deep inside my own
                    C         A
Hidden thoughts and alibis
          C
My secret thoughts come alive

A           C                    A
  Without a care in this life
              C                  G
It's what you take that makes it right



BRIDGE

    A               C
And in my mind I'm everyone

And in my mind I'm everyone
A              C           G
In my mind I'm everyone of you
             D    A G
You make it right

It's all alright
            D      A G
You make it right
