G#m           B           D#m      C#m
When I was a young boy I tried to listen
G#m          B         D#m
And I wanna feel like that
G#m            B      D#m       C#m
Little white shadows blink and miss them
G#m        B        D#m
Part of a system, I am

If you ever feel like something's missing
Things you'll never understand
Little white shadows sparkle and glisten
Part of a system, a plan

E                   C#m
All this noise, I'm waking up
E                   C#m
All this space, I'm taking up
E                 C#m
All this sound is breaking up
E    F#
Oohhhhhhh

Chorus:
G#m                        E
Maybe you'll get what you wanted
 B                    D#m
Maybe you'll stumble upon it
G#m                  E
Everything you ever wanted
      B          D#m
In a permanent state

G#m                         E
Maybe you'll know when you see it
 B                           D#m
Maybe if you say it, you'll mean it
G#m                          E
And when you find it you'll keep it
      B          D#m               G#m
In a permanent state, a permanent state

When I was a young boy I tried to listen
Don't you wanna feel like that?
You're part of the human race
All of the stars and the outer space
Part of the system, a plan

All this noise, I'm waking up
All this space I'm taking up
I cannot hear, you're breaking up
Whooaaaaaaa

Chorus

G#m
Swim out on a sea of faces
E
A tide of the human races
B                           D#m
Oh, an answer now is what I need

G#m
See it in a new sun rise and
E
See it break on your horizon
B                           D#m G#m
Oh, come on love, stay with me
