Intro:
Organ: Abm
Full band: Abm | B | C#m9 | Ebm (all over
bass)
Verses
Abm B Ebm C#m(add9)
1. When I was a young boy I tried to listen
2. If you ever feel like something's missing
3. When I was a young boy, I tried to listen
And I wanna feel like that
things you'll never understand
Don’t you wanna feel like that?
Abm B Ebm C#m(add9)
Little white shadows, blink and miss them
Little white shadows, sparkle and glisten
You’re part of the human race, all of the stars in the outer space
Part of a system, I am
Part of a system, a plan
Part of a system, I am
Interlude (after verse 1)
Abm | B | C#m9 | Ebm (all over Ab bass)
Pre-chorus (after verses 2 and 3):
Emaj7 C#m(add9)
All this noise I'm waking up
All this space I'm taking up
All this sound is breaking up
Ooh oh ooh____________
Chorus:
Maybe you'll get what you wanted
Maybe you'll stumble upon it
Everything you ever wanted
In a permanent state
Maybe you'll know when you see it
Maybe if you say it you'll mean it
And when you find it you'll keep it
In a permanent state, a permanent state
Outro: (organ only)
Swim out on a sea of faces
The tide of the human races, oh
An answer now is what I need
See it in the new sun rising and
See it break on your horizon, oh
Come on love, stay with me
G#m (fade out)
