Chords in this song
Strum
D-DU-UDU
Metanoia, reshaping the world
It can teach you
And reprogram you
It can show you the flood
That's trapped inside
(repeat chords of part 1 3x)
This one's alive
The tail is breathing
And she's listening
Kill the serpent
Divide, disperse and grow
Into an oak
A silver lining on a black scale
Wicked hunter on three hooves he still rode
But where is the fourth?
You can climb there
To your lofty perch
It can teach you the fairytale of hurt
- - -
Part 2:
Mystic referee, don't look on me with scorn
I'm a child, I'm a lover being born
Satchidananda
Disregard the path I'm on
(repeat chords of part 2)
You can justify the action, should you bless
My ambition and my indecisiveness
Satchidananda
Let me know that you exist
Watch me tremble as I'm answering the phone
I am separate from everything you know
(repeat chords earlier in part 2)
Mystic referee I promise to return
Once I've given up and lessons have been learned
Satchidananda
You can watch my fire burn
Part 3: No chords
We were talkin' junk right,
Just before the show
This wild-eyed kid came up to the fence
He took one look at us, and he said:
"Help me,
Drummer,
Ticket,
Yeah!"
We didn't play his favorite song,
Now he'll never come to another show
(repeat this sentence until fade in of part 4)
Part 4:
Section four:
repeat these chords 7 times:
Hospitals and woods confirm
Red in the eyes of everyone
Parasites and lovers scrape the meat from bones
Turned into jade and tiger's eye
Save me some dark hair over a face like hers
She'll help the rain come to a pour
Bathroom floor of stone and tiles broke in two
Warm where they touch her porcelain
Timid skin I'm careful to untie this road
Wrapped in a knot indifferent
Lion's foot unearthing all the things i've seen
But never truly understood
Rotten wood from oceans that were never green
Crumbles beneath the canopy
Secretly
Let's pretend we never touched the sugar
<-- these last and chords are played high on the fretboard.
