C Dm Am
As one child is taught red on his mother's knee
F
The one true colour
C Dm
A neighbor is taught blue on his mother's knee
Am
The one true colour
F
With a fervour inherited
C Dm
It will be subsequently delivered
Am F
Ignore the spectrum
[Chorus]
Am
Dear whom it may concern
F C
I feel as though I'm about to crash and burn
G Am
I think I'm falling and there's no return
F C G
But I've no idea to whom this may concern
G Am
I'm looking out at all the stars and I learn
F C
There's no one up above to hear me yearn
G
I'm on my own
[Verse]
C Dm Am
In the arena of the endless unknown
F
Do not stage theatre
C Dm
Do not stage theatre and call it truth
Am
And call it truth
F C
And when one child is taught red on his mother's knee
Dm
It must be subsequently delivered
Am F
With all of the spectrum
[Chorus]
Am
Dear whom it may concern
F C
I feel as though I'm about to crash and burn
G Am
I think I'm falling and there's no return
F C G
But I've no idea to whom this may concern
G Am
I'm looking out at all the stars and I learn
F C
There's no one up above to hear me yearn
G
I'm on my own
[Interlude]
Am F C Dm
Someone has whipped the carpet from beneath my feet
Am F
Someone upturned the furniture in my mind
[Bridge]
Am F
But, oh, how rich the soil
C Dm
How wondrous the upheaval
Am A#
It's time to embark
Am F
But, oh, how rich the soil
C Dm
How wondrous the upheaval
Am A#
It's time to embark
[Spoken]
N.C.
(To dissect is to broaden the adventure
And enrich one's tenure
So do not blunt the surgeon's knife)
[Bridge]
Am F
But, oh, how rich the soil
C Dm
How wondrous the upheaval
Am A#
It's time to embark
[Spoken]
N.C.
(To dissect is to broaden the adventure
And enrich one's tenure
So do not blunt the surgeon's knife)
[Interlude]
Am F
But, oh, how rich the soil
C Dm
How wondrous the upheaval
Am A#
It's time to embark
[Outro]
Am F
But, oh, how rich the soil
C Dm
How wondrous the upheaval
Am A#
It's time to embark
Am F
But, oh, how rich the soil
C Dm
How wondrous the upheaval
Am A#
It's time to embark
C Dm
Oh, there's so much to explore
Am
There's so much to absorb
F
And then the atoms that you borrowed
C Dm Am F
They are returned to the cosmos
C Dm
There's so much to explore
Am
There's so much to absorb
F
And then the atoms that you borrowed
C Dm F
They are returned when you're...
