Verse:
A augmentedA
Last night turned on the TV
A augmentedA
Looked out the window
F# minorF#m
And then pulled down the shades
F# minorF#m
And I came to the conclusion
A augmentedA AsusAsus
My mind could not be made
A augmentedA
She said, "Well what're you thinking
A augmentedA
I'm just a-wondering
F# minorF#m
Is it something that I did "
F# minorF#m
I said, "It's nothing, just something
A augmentedA AsusAsus A augmentedA
I picked up as a kid."

An imaginary path back to you

This ain't no ordinary

Verse:
A augmentedA
Last night for a split sec
A augmentedA
I was a train-wreck
F# minorF#m
I was a complicated guy
F# minorF#m
I hope we don't find this is the last time
A augmentedA AsusAsus A augmentedA
We ever say goodbye
A augmentedA
The orange moon is rising on the horizon
A augmentedA F# minorF#m
Of the outskirts of my mind
F# minorF#m
I sat and listened as it glistens
A augmentedA AsusAsus A augmentedA
It says, "Leave the past behind"
