🎸 Verse 1:
A                           G
  Time has a funny way of playing jokes on you
       A                           G
While you're waiting for what you think you know
              F                     E
Will happen next is never what you could've come to expect
     A         G
And so it goes
    A          G
And so it goes

Deep inside his eyes I see myself
   A                           G
As I wonder who he'll turn out to be
    F                          E
Is that a question that needs answering
        F
Right now?

  And so concludes this chapter
                Eb
As my parents unravel the entangled threads of my reality
                      C#
Not of design but by accident

My perception in question
                        C7
As I leave the infinite for the present

And rise

A Window of the Waking Mind

🎸 Verse 3:
Fm
Here's a simple story

And I hope I tell it well
     Eb
Of a boy locked in a place

His mind, the very cell
    C#
Imprisoned with his wild visions

Of every time in space
        C7
There's no one in this world quite like him

🎸 Verse 4:
     Fm
The thing that complicates it

Is his parents and who they are

The law they're made to run from

Beyond the House of the Stars

The birth must be in secret

So no prying eyes can see
        C7
There's no one of this world quite like him

Our pride and joy

Are you in there, safe and sound?
                          G#
Tell us what you need, so we can help you
    Fm
We don't know what to do
    Eb
We don't know what to do



🎸 Verse :
 Fm
Patronizing doctors

With their diagnostic leads
Eb
Carry on your query

It's blood, the boy, he bleeds
    C#
But you can't see him like you

So a monster he must be
        C7
There's no one in this world quite like him

Is this right to calculate his moments?

To find what's normal   is being normal

My boy, it's okay to cry

While the lion, he sleeps

My boy, it's okay to cry
 Eb
Time!
