Big smile on my face
C majorC
Capsule just in case
          E minor 7Em7 A augmentedA C majorC
Underneath my tongue
E minor 7Em7      A augmentedA   C majorC
Voices on the breeze

I heard voices once like these when I was younger

Follow me right through the chaos
E minor 7Em7          A augmentedA  C majorC

It never hurts to give thanks to the navigator
                   E minor 7Em7  A augmentedA C majorC
Even when he's spitting out random numbers
E minor 7Em7            A augmentedA   C majorC
I knew what those figures meant

And what they hoped to represent
         E minor 7Em7 A augmentedA C majorC
When I was younger
