Intro DM7 E DM7 E DM7 E Verse DM7 Just got back today and I'm searching round the place E Looking for you-know-who But there's no sign yet DM7 Singing, auto-pilot days Shining, ultra-violet rays E On this dusty skeleton I feel akin on a cosmic level
Verse DM7 I can see right through ya Yeah I can read your bones E Just like a telephone book Maybe I should, give it up, begin again DM7 I Am exercising how good it feels to be alit E And no surprises up my sleeve Everything is temporary Chorus DM7 E Ooh, praying mantis on my door Looking for meaning or just any sign at all DM7 E Ooh, organising all my thoughts, making then DM7 E Rhyme, choosing wisely where I spend my time Verse DM7 Gimme midnight love again Feeling somewhat alien E I'm floating aimless But got my feet concreted DM7 Beneath this creature of habit E Teach me the magic of an extra ordinary day Anodyne the time away DM7 And there's no such thing as a E Perfect melody but I keep searching every Morning in the trees Chorus DM7 E Ooh, praying mantis on my door Looking for meaning or just any sign at all DM7 E Ooh, organising all my thoughts, making then Rhyme, choosing wisely where I spend my time Bridge DM7 E I got my head sorted sort of, I keep Going, just because yeah just because DM7 E I got my head sorted sort of, I keep Going, just because yeah just because Outro DM7 E DM7 E DM7 E DM7 E
