Intro:

C# minorC#m BB E MajorE A augmentedA


Verse 1:
C# minorC#m       BB
 Lucidity came slowly
  E MajorE           A augmentedA
I awoke from dreams of untying a great knot
C# minorC#m          BB             E MajorE
 It unraveled like a braid into what seemed were thousands
       A augmentedA
Of separate strands of fishing line
F# minorF#m      BB         E MajorE
 Attached to coarse behavior it flowed
     C# minorC#m
A augmentedA calm it urged—what else is here?

Chorus:
F# minorF#m    BB         E MajorE
 How’s it feel to be at the center of magic
  C# minorC#m
To linger in tones and words?
F# minorF#m      BB           E MajorE           C# minorC#m
 I opened the floodgates and found no water, no current, no river, no rush
F# minorF#m    BB          E MajorE
 How’s it feel to stand at the height of your powers
  C# minorC#m
To captivate every heart?
F# minorF#m       BB            E MajorE            C# minorC#m
 Projеcting your visions to strangers who feel it, who listen, who linger on еvery word

Refrain:
F# minorF#m BB     E MajorE  C# minorC#m
 Oh it’s a rush!
F# minorF#m BB     E MajorE  C# minorC#m
 Oh it’s a rush!

Bridge:
F# minorF#m  B7B7    A augmentedA      C# minorC#m
 But alone it feels like dying
F# minorF#m  B7B7   A augmentedA    C# minorC#m
 All alone I feel so much
F# minorF#m     B7B7     E MajorE        C# minorC#m
 I want my offering to woo, to calm, to clear, to solve
F# minorF#m      B7B7       E MajorE
 But the only offering that comes
       C# minorC#m
It calls, it screams—there’s nothing here!

Chorus:
F# minorF#m    BB         E MajorE
 How’s it feel to be at the center of magic
  C# minorC#m
To linger in tones and words?
F# minorF#m      BB           E MajorE           C# minorC#m
 I opened the floodgates and found no water, no current, no river, no rush
F# minorF#m    BB          E MajorE
 How’s it feel to stand at the height of your powers
  C# minorC#m
To captivate every heart?
F# minorF#m       BB            E MajorE            C# minorC#m
 Projеcting your visions to strangers who feel it, who listen, who linger on еvery word

Refrain:
F# minorF#m BB     E MajorE  C# minorC#m
 Oh it’s a rush!
F# minorF#m BB     E MajorE  C# minorC#m
 Oh it’s a rush!
