As If By Design chords by Dawes

Chords with lyrics

Intro:
E MajorE


Verse 1:

E MajorE
The stars were just the holes punched in the shoebox

                           BB
That gives the creature all the air he needs to breathe

As if every constellation was just a form of inhalation

          A minorAm        E MajorE
From a captor too enormous to conceive

Verse 2:

E MajorE
The moon beamed like a coach from junior high school

                           BB
When players hacked their way through each opposing team

And the brighter it was shining, felt like the wider he was smiling

           A minorAm          E MajorE
On a season that he loved too much to leave


Chorus:

E MajorE                             BB
When you stare off in the night sometimes you see a little too much

                                   E MajorE
Sometimes there's a world behind the mirror, sometimes a razor and a toothbrush

                            A augmentedA
And in those fleeting moments when the stars all seem aligned

           BB       E MajorE
It all runs together, as if by design


Verse 3:

The boat out in the middle of the ocean

                      BB
Is like the butterfly just breathing on the sea

Giving all of its attention to this new and strange reflection

         A minorAm        E MajorE
Not recognized as what it used to be

Chorus:

E MajorE                             BB
When you stare off in the night sometimes you see a little too much

                                   E MajorE
Sometimes there's a world behind the mirror, sometimes a razor and a toothbrush

                            A augmentedA
When in those fleeting moments when the stars all seem aligned

           F#F#   BB E MajorE
It all runs together, as if by design


Bridge:

   A#mA#m
Every day getting a little

   A augmentedA
More acquainted with the riddles

BB     F# minorF#m              BB
Until I'm looking for them everywhere I go

Chorus:

E MajorE
When you stare off in the night sometimes you see a little too much

                                   BB
Sometimes there's a world behind the mirror, sometimes a razor and a toothbrush

                            A augmentedA   F# minorF#m A augmentedA
And in those fleeting moments when the stars all seem aligned

          F#F# BB    E MajorE
It all runs together, as if by design

E MajorE
As if by design

E MajorE
As if by design
