[Intro 1]
[Em][Bm][Em][Bm][D]
[Em][Bm]
[Em][Bm][D]

[Verse 1]
[Bm]What I draw today
Will be recognized as shape
[D]

[Verse 2]
[A]I spo[Bm]ke to the base
And the base [A]says "we [D]wait"
So [A]I smoke an o[Bm]ld cigar
While the giant [D]sun fades
[A]See, I spoke

[Verse 3]
[Bm]to the base
And the base [A]says "we [D]wait"
And the base says [A]we're safe

[Verse 4]
[G]Now and then [D]I can see the t[A]ruth
[Bm]above the [D]lies[A][Bm][D][A]
[G]Now and then [D]oh I [A]feel,
you're truly an[Bm]es th[D]etized[Bm]
[D]Tha[A]t's why

[Verse 5]
[Bm]When I walk today
It's in silence and in [D]rain
[A]Can a

[Verse 6]
[Bm]man turn the page
While he's trying [D]to amaze?
So [A]I hold my a[Bm]rms apart
But don't deny you any [D]pain
[A]See, I

[Verse 7]
[Bm]spoke to the base
And the base says "we're [D]there"
And the base says "we [A]win"

[Verse 8]
Now and then I can [Bm]see the truth
above the [D]lies[Bm][D]
[Em]Now and [G]then o[D]h I [A]feel those beauties,
[D]this lif[Bm]e bel[D]ies[G][D]
[A]They're like street

[Verse 9]
[G]lights
[D]They tunnel [A]on and on
[D]Into these dee[Bm]p nig[D]hts
Where the [Bm]lights [D]circle [A]on are so steep

[Verse 10]
[D]So [Em]steep[D][C#][D][F#m][D]
[G]
I count the falling stars
[D]So steep
Anonymous forces
So steep
That broken street light
So [G]steep
Life is like a drug
Sky less night
So steep
I count the falling stars
So [D]steep I will [G]not be staying [D]long
[G][Em][Bm][D][A][Bm][D]

[Verse 11]
[G]Now and then [D]I can s[A]ee the
[Bm]truth [D]above the lie[A]s
[G]Now and then [D]I can see those
beauties that shun my eye
[A]That's why
