 I ride tandem with a random
 Things don't run (in) the way I planned them
 In the humdrum
 In the humdrum

 Hey Valentina, do you want me to beg?
 You got me cooking I'm a hard boiled egg
 In the humdrum
 In the humdrum

|:B/D#     |        |Esus2   |       :| (x 2)

|Absus4/Eb |Gbsus2  |Db/F    |       ||


|B/D#            |                       |
     Out of woman come the man, spend the
|Esus2                   |                 |
 rest of his life getting back where he can
|B/D#            |       |Esus2         |     |
     As a bow, so a dove, as below, so a-bove
|Absus4/Eb                     |
           From the black hole, 
|Gbsus2                        |
          come the tadpole
|Db/F                     |                  ||
     With the dark soul in coal she burn, she 

|B/D#            |            |
 burn; as I drove into the sun, 
|Esus2                 |           |
 Didn't dare look where I had begun
|B/D#                |                |
 Lost among echoes of things not there,
|Esus2                     |                 |
 Watching the sound forming shapes in the air
|Absus4/Eb                     |
          From the white star, 
|Gbsus2                        |
          come the bright scar
|Db/F           |               |G    |    ||
     Our amoeba, my little liebe schon_____
