Alien Days Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D]

[Verse 1]
Sometimes the [D]windows combine
with the seams in a way
[Bb]That twitches on [C]a peak at the place
where [Bm]the spirit was [F#sus4]slain[Bm]
One foot leads [D]to another
Night's for sleep,
blue curtains, covers
Sequins [C]in the [Cm]eyes
[G]That's a fine time to dine
Di[Bm]vine who's [Bb]circling,
feeding [Em]the cards to t[D]he midwives
Who love [A]those [D]alien days
The nonstop alien days
[A]Ooh the alien days
[D]

[Verse 2]
Must've skipped [A]the ship
and joined [D]the team
For a ride
[Bb]A couple hours to lear[Edim]n the controls
[Em]And com [F#sus4]mandeer both my eyes
[Bm]Hey!
Be quick dear, [Bb]times are uncertain
[D]One month crawling,
next year blurring
[C]Decades in the [Cm]drain
[G]Monograms on the brain
De[Abdim]cide what's working and
what's moved on
To the last [D]phase
The [A]floodgate alien [D]days
I [A]love those alien days
[D]Mmm... [A]the alien day[D]s

[Verse 3]
[Eb]When the peels [F]are down,
it feels like [Bb]traveling in style
[Eb]You don't need wings[F] to hover
[G]forty ton stones for a mile
And [Cm]in the summer, virgin visions
[C]Mindless humming
Numbers can't de[Eb]cide if [F]the day's supposed to smile

[Interlude 1]
[Bm][D]
[A][D][A][G][Bdim][Bb][Bm][F#sus4][F#][F#sus4][F#][Bm][Bb]
[Dm]
[D]Today find [A]infinite ways it could

[Verse 4]
[D]be
Plenty [Bb]worse

[Interlude 2]
It's a blessing but it's also a curse
[Gm][Gm][Eb]

[Verse 5]
Those days [F]taught me
everything I [Bb]know[Eb]
How to catch [F]a feeling
And [G]when to let it go
How [Cm]all the scheming,
soulless creatures
[C]Can't find dreamer's
honey in [Cm]the h[Eb]ive
If it's [F]right beneath the nose

[Verse 6]
And [Eb]when the light is [F]new
The sky shows [Bb]trembling [Eb]cartoons
You don't need [F]smoke to cover
[G]Most of the world in a gloom
But [Cm]here comes racer number 7
Watch [C]my fingers ripping out [Cm]the l[Eb]ines

[Verse 7]
If it [Dm]looks like w[F]e could lose
[Dm][Eb]
If it [Dm]looks like we could lose
[Dm][Eb]
If it look[Dm]s like we could lo[Dm]se[Eb]
If [Dm]it looks like we could lose

[Outro 1]
