Now, what is this?
E           D
Feeling I know you from long ago

From deep in my past
A
I don't know why
E                    D
Why I trust you completely

Don't question it

The bottle is empty

The fog machines

And lasers swirling

It's Halloween

I'm sorry for screaming

But I'm afraid

I scare you completely

Buying time through the winter

No stopping for dinner

I look for you and suddenly fall


♫ Verse 5:

Now, what is this?

Robin you rescued

Has broken wing

Not broken long

You search the room

Someone yells from the garden

The orange cat

Finish what you started


♫ Verse 6:
A
Now, what is this?

Skidding of tires

I hold my breath

And you're running fast

As the SUV

Smashes into the sidewalk
D
And 911

Won't answer the call


♫ Verse 7:
G
Now, what is this?
D
Hollywood ghost town
C
A shootout scene

No actors at all

Last night I dreamed
D
You and I were immortal

It's no big deal

This new kind of normal
