Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D]

[Verse 1]
[D]The stars were just the holes
punched in a shoe[A]box
[D]That gives the creature all the air he
needs to [A]breathe[Em][A][Em]
As if [A]every con[Em]stellation [A]was
[Em]just [A]a form of innov[Em]ation
[A]Fro[Em]m a cap[A]tor too enorm
[G]ous to con[C]cei[D]ve

[Verse 2]
[D]
The moon beamed like a coach
[G]fro[D]m junior high school
When players hacked their way
through each opposing [A]team
[Em]And the [A]brighter it [Em]was shining,
[A]felt lik[Em]e the wid[A]er he was[Em] smiling
[A]On [Em]a season [A]that he
[G]loved too [D]much to leave

[Verse 3]
[D]
When you stare off in the night sometimes
you see a little [A]too much
Sometimes there's [D]a w[A]orld behind the mirror,
sometimes a razor and a [G]tooth[D]brush
When [G]in those fleet[D]ing moments
when the stars [Am]all seem [G]aligned
It all runs together,
[Em]as if by d[A]esign
[D]

[Verse 4]
The boat out in the [G]middle [D]of the ocean
Is like the [G]but[D]terfly just breathing
on the [A]sea[Em][A]
[E]Giving [A]all of it[Em]s attention [A]to this
new and strange re[Em]flec[A]tion
Not recognize that's [D]what
[F#]it used to b[A]e
[G][D]

[Verse 5]
When you stare off in the night sometimes
you see a [A]little too much
Sometimes there's [D]a w[A]orld behind the mirror,
sometimes a razor [Em]and [D]a toothbrush
When [G]in those fleet[D]ing moments
when the stars all [Am]seem [G]aligned
It all runs together,
[Em]as if by d[A]esign
[D]

[Verse 6]
[Bm]Every [E]day getting a little
[G]More aquainted with the riddles
Until I'm [Em]looking for them everywhere I go

[Interlude 1]
[A][D][Bm][G][Bm][Em][A]
[G][Em][A][G][A][G][D][A][D][Am]
[C][G][Em][Ebaug][G][Em][A][D]

[Verse 7]
When [D]you stare off in the night sometimes
you see a little [A]too much
Sometimes there's a world behind the mirror,
sometimes a razor and a [D]toothbrush
When [G]in those fleet[D]ing moments
when the stars all seem [A]aligned
[G]It all runs together, as if by [A]des[D]ign
As if by design

[Outro 1]
As if by design
[D]
