Prechorus 1:

NOTE: Playing prechorus on chords it's not really the best idea,
I made it only for orientation, so better do it on one string:

  C minorCm D#D# C minorCm Bb majorBb
The impulse is pure;
        C minorCm D#D# C minorCm Bb majorBb
Sometimes our circuits get shorted
  C minorCm    D#D#    Bb majorBb  C minorCm D#D# C minorCm Bb majorBb
By external interference.
          C minorCm D#D# C minorCm Bb majorBb
Signals get crossed
             C minorCm D#D# C minorCm
And the balance distorted
Bb majorBb  C minorCm   Bb majorBb  G#G#
By internal incoherence.

Chorus 1:

C minorCm           Bb majorBb
A augmentedA tired mind become a shape shifter,
         G#G#
Everybody need a mood lifter,
C minorCm       Bb majorBb     G#G#
Everybody need reverse polarity.
Everybody got mixed feelings
About the function and the form.
Everybody got to elevate from the norm.

C minorCm G#G# C minorCm

Verse 2:

An ounce of perception,
A augmentedA pound of obscure.
Process information at half speed.
Pause, rewind, replay,
Warm memory chip,
Random sample, hold the one you need.

[Bridge]

Prechorus 2:

Leave out the fiction,
The fact is, this friction
Will only be won by persistence.
Leave out conditions,
Courageous convictions
Will drag the dream into existence.

Chorus 2:

A augmentedA tired mind become a shape shifter,
Everybody need a soft filter,
Everybody need reverse polarity.
Everybody got mixed feelings
About the function and the form.
Everybody got to elevate from the norm...

Outro:

C minorCm G#G# Bb majorBb G#G#

C minorCm       Bb majorBb    G#G#
Everybody got mixed feelings
Everybody got mixed feelings
Everybody got to elevate from the norm - [repeat till fade]

[NOTE - I know there are some other words instead 'elevate'
in this last repeating verse but I don't have time to find them ;P]
