Verse:
 C majorC             G minorGm
Forced convalescence and bed rest
    FF
Staring contest
    F minorFm        C majorC
With the ceiling and my feet
 C majorC          G minorGm
Was momentarily conscious
    FF
Of the backflips
     F minorFm       DmDm
I've been doing in my sleep
DmDm          G+G
I’m not afraid of the future
   E minor 7Em7      G minorGm
Have to suffer and repeat
 DmDm    FF
I tend to agree
 F minorFm
What happens will be
 E minor 7Em7   A7A7
Pain of my own making
 DmDm     G+G   C majorC
Cut short by eternity

C majorC           G minorGm
Now I've recovered completely
    FF
Life is easy
    F minorFm         C majorC
Hula-hooping around the sun
 C majorC         G minorGm
The calendar's little boxes
   FF
All these presents
   F minorFm      DmDm
Get to open every one
  DmDm        G+G
I’ll be prepared for the winter
  E minor 7Em7
And the summer
   G minorGm
And beyond
   DmDm      FF
Just keep tagging along
  F minorFm
Until the feeling is gone
  E minor 7Em7   A7A7
Amazed by the haystack
  DmDm    G+G   C majorC
Needle to oblivion

Chorus:

C majorC    G minorGm
In a daze
    FF
In the doorway
     F minorFm       C majorC
I stood crying for what was
C majorC    G minorGm
In a trance
   FF
In a taxi
      F minorFm           DmDm
Just keep driving please don't stop
DmDm      E minorEm       FF
Out of the neighborhood, the multiverse
  G+G    G#G#
Iron and rust

Solo:
FF F minorFm C majorC E minorEm G#G#
FF F minorFm C majorC G+G
DmDm E minorEm FF G+G

Verse:

C majorC              G minorGm
Went out of town for the weekend
   FF
With my children
    F minorFm        C majorC
Built sandcastles in the sun
 C majorC          G minorGm
Catastrophizing my birthday
    FF
Turning forty
     F minorFm
Ending up like everyone
DmDm          G+G
There's no escaping the housework
  E minor 7Em7
Or the bank clerk
    G minorGm
Or the priest
 DmDm      FF
They're waiting for me
  F minorFm
In my Egyptian sheets
 E minor 7Em7      A7A7
The Seroquel's working
  DmDm      G+G   C majorC
It's fighting my fantasies

Chorus:

C majorC     G minorGm
In the dark
    FF
At a distance
     F minorFm     C majorC
I see everything at once
 C majorC    G minorGm
Feel the wind
       FF
Through the window
     F minorFm       DmDm
And I'm overcome with love
 DmDm     E minorEm      FF
Inter-dimensional, no obstacles

  G+G    G#G#
Mountains and dust
