[Intro 1]
[Em][Am][Em][Am][Em]
[Am]
[Em]
[Am]
[Em]
[Gm][Em]

[Verse 1]
Can't [Em]be with the one you [Am]love,
then love the one you're with
Spliff in the ashtray, red stripe,
I pull the lid
Her touch [Em]tickles,
es[Am]pecially when she's gentle
But I don't hear her words 'cause I
slide the instrumental
Keep the [Em]girl in the [Am]dis tance,
moves are very hazy
No sunshine in my life
the way I deal is shady

[Verse 2]
[Am]Skip hip data to get the anti-matter
Blue Blue lines are the reason why the
temple had to shatter
[Em]To the sound of silence
surrounded by the mass
Her face is on the [Am]paper,
not the [Em]strangers that I pass
The ones that are looking back to see

[Verse 3]
if they are looking back at me
[Em]Are you predator, or do you fear me?
Yeah, while I'm doing [Am]this, I know
The [Bb]place I really [Am]wanna go
The [Em]one I love but never gets near me

[Verse 4]
It's [Em]a beautiful day well, it
seems [Gm]as such
Beautiful [Em]thoughts means
I dream too much
Even if I told you, you
still would not know me
Tricky never does,
Adrian mostly gets [Am]lonely
How we [Em]live in this existence,
[Am]just being
[Em]English up[Am]bringing,
background Carib[Em]bean

[Verse 5]
It's the way that we billety
Sharing a soliloquy
We cut the broken thread from flexibility
Mi chiamo 3D si sono Inglese
No sunshine in my life because the
way I deal is hazy
And every day's a daisy 'cause
I'm on my toes
While contemporaries of [Am]mine remaining [Em]comatose[D]
[G][D][Em][D][Em]
[Am][F][Am][C][Am][F][Am][D]
[Em]

[Verse 6]
There's a looking glass
she's looking through
She hated me,
but then she loved me too
I'd lie, not try, so I lost [Am]faith
[Em]Then turn to [Am]her to [Em]keep the faith
She told me, take an occupa[Am]tion,
or you lose your mind
And on a nine-to-five lemon, lemon,
[Em]lemon, looking for the lime

[Verse 7]
Box clever, watch your system [Em]come together
Crazy weather at [Am]the end
of my [Em]tether

[Verse 8]
Massive in the area, murderer
Attack in the area, murderer

[Verse 9]
Some [Em]go softly,
softly round [Am]the habitat
Ratchet in the right hand
They got no one to stab it at
[Em]Take a walk, Billy, don't be a hero
[Am]Effort's on minimal though almos[Em]t
touch zero
Excommunicated from
the brotherhood of man
To wander [Bb]lonely as a [Am]puzzled
ana[Em]gram[Gm]

[Interlude 1]
[Em]

[Verse 10]
[Edim]Car paint blue[Em], green, primer and zinc
Take it to extremities,
my purple and pink
I feel the colors fill my room beneath
the patter of the rain
I can't stand the drops that dribble
down my windowpane
They wash away my shadow and don't
even leave a mark upon my [Am]soul
They leave the rainbows in the [Em]dark

[Verse 11]
[Em]Blues get big, Massive are even larger
Save enough space into the tricky Tardis
We'd trawl what I saw from
down in Darren's hall
People [Am]laying their claim
In stormy [Edim]weather it's [Em]rain

[Verse 12]
But you're living on a see-saw

[Verse 13]
I I try to see more
[Am]Somebody da-ditty, nobody
[Em]nobody
Walking on sunshine, but,
[Am]still, we're treading water
The son of many [Em]reasons searching
for the daughter
Seeking knowledge,
not acknowledging the jet-set
Silver Silver papers of the [Bb]sound
[Gm]within my [Em]Budakon headset
The solar system watches in wisdom
The children dance as the
moonlight kissed them

[Verse 14]
To [Em]Massive Attack,
[Am]Matt Black appear wearing beads
Two hours traveling,
so I [Em]wrote this on repeat
Always living fast,
[Am]people getting jumpy
Where on Gruggy falls I just
do the Walter Crumpy
Micro[Em]phones held close,
crouching far apart
[Am]Take my peace of mind and sign my
name across your heart
