G#m          B           F#       E
When I was a young boy I tried to listen
G#m         B         F#
And I wanna feel like that
G#m          B            F#         E
Little white shadows that sparkle and glisten
G#m           B      F#
I'm part of a system plan

G#m         B                 F#       E
Do you ever feel like there's something missing?
G#m                 B     F#
Things you'll never understand
G#m          B            F#          E
Little white shadows that blink in the distance
G#m       B      F#
Part of a system plan

C#m                    E
When all our fears are waking up
C#m                   E
All the space they're taking up
C#m                              E
I said I cannot hear you, you're breaking up
C#m F#
Ohhhh...

Chorus
C#m                    G#m B
Maybe you get what you wanted
                   G#m  F#
Maybe you stumbled upon it
C#m                 G#m B
Everything you ever wanted
     G#m       B
In a permanent state

C#m                        G#m B
Maybe you'll know when you see it
                         G#m  F#
Maybe if you say it, you mean it
C#m                    G#m  B
When you find that you keep it
     G#m       F#
In a permanent state
A permanent state

Same chord progression

G#m          B
When I was a young boy
F#         E
I tried to listen
G#m             B         F#
Don't you wanna feel like that
G#m               B
We're part of the human race
and
F#                   E
All of the stars and outer space
G#m               B      F#
We're part of the system plan

Chorus

G#m E B F# X2

G#m                          E
I swear I'm only seeing faces
Tired of the human races
B                        F#
Oh, answer now is what I need...

G#m                       E
See it in a new sun rising

See it breaking on your horizon
B                           F#      G#m
Oh, come on love, stay with me...
