[Intro 1]
[D][G][A][D][G][A][G][D]

[Verse 1]
I read my [G]horoscope
[A]And abandon[G]ed all my hop[D]e
This was all [G]a joke,
[A]we thought you [Bm]knew[D]
Pull heavy [G]blankets [D]over [A]my [E]head
And [D]make the [G]bed [A]a swi[D]mming pool
Then tie some [G]cinder blocks
[A]around my [D]ankles
And apply the [G]la bels of [A]all my [Bm]fears[D]
My worst in[G]tentions, [D]the selfish eng[E]ines
That [D]drive the [G]pistons [A]and turn the gea[D]rs
And [G]light a [D]fire and [G]burn [D]away
[G]All the [Bm]efforts of my [G]glory [D]days
As my reflection, [G]painted [D]blue
Says I will [Bm]always be [G]a part of
[D]you[G][A][D][G][A][D]
I wrote my num[G]ber down [A]and
then [D]got turned around
I parked the [G]car but then for[A]got my place
[Bm]I wand[D]ered the d[G]esert,
[A]despite my [E]efforts[D]
[G]Wound up like Mos[A]es at the gat[D]es
So [G]light a [D]fire and [G]burn [D]away
[G]All the [Bm]efforts of my [G]glory [D]days
As [G]my re[D]flection, [G]painted [D]blue
Says I will [Bm]always be a [G]part [D]of[G][A]
[D]you[G][A][D][G][A][E][D][G][A][D]
I wanted desperately
[G]something I could[D]n't see
A blinding [G]light always [A]just out of [Bm]reach
The [D]ancient [G]specter,
[D]the blind direct[E]or[D][G]
The sirens [D]on the beach
That light a fire and burn away
All the [Bm]effort of my [G]glory [D]days
As my reflection, painted blue
Says I will [Bm]always be a [G]part of [D]you
So heaven if I stay
Heaven [Bm]help me if [G]I go [D]away
[A]I've [Bm]for gotten [G]how to p[D]ray but
heaven [A]help me [G]anyway
[Gm][D][Em]
