Imploding The Mirage

C              G
 I was a timid Rockwellian boy
F                     G
 She was tattooed and ready to 
deploy
C                   G
 Gave me reservation and the like
F                     G
 But she could be the dangerous type
C                         
 But I threw caution 'cause 
  G                    F
something about that yin and the 
yang
    G                      Am
 Was pushing my boundaries out 
     Em        F           G
beyond my imagining

[Chorus]
                C                  
 While you were out there, chewing 
   G                  F
on fat for probable cause
       G
 I let go
                 Am                
 While you were out there weighing 
Em
odds
           F             G
 I was imploding the mirage
                 C               
 While you were out there looking 
       G
like that
             F            
 I struck my name from the 
       G
camouflage
           Am               Em
 I wasn't lost in the collage
          F      G    Am     G     C
 I was imploding the mirage
          F   G         C
 I was imploding the mirage

C           F   G (x2)

[Verse 2]
C                  G
 I had to do it, I had no other 
choice
F                            G
 You've got to listen to the inside 
voice
C                    G
 A bullet train will get you there 
fast
F                    G
 But it won't guarantee a long last
C                      G         
 Sometimes it takes a little bit 
                F
of courage and doubt
     G                   Am     
 To push your boundaries out 
Em          F     G
beyond your imagining

[Chorus]
                C                  
 While you were out there, chewing 
   G                  F
on fat for probable cause
       G
 I let go
                Am                
 While you were out there weighing 
Em
odds
           F             G
 I was imploding the mirage
                 C               
 While you were out there looking 
       G
like that
             F            
 I struck my name from the 
       G
camouflage
           Am               Em
 I wasn't lost in the collage
          F      G    Am     G     C
 I was imploding the mirage
          F   G         C
 I was imploding the mirage

C          F   G  (x2)

[Bridge]
      Am
 I was spellbound by the show
                E
 The matchless power of the glow
        C                       
 I was bound by golden shackles, 
         D
getting by
                 Am
 She tripped the breaker, blew the 
fuse
          E
 Doesn't need no pair of shoes
                Am             
 Her wings have come, and she's 
 G              Fm
ready for the sky

[Chorus]
                C                  
 While you were out there, chewing 
   G                  F
on fat for probable cause
       G
 I let go
                Am                 
 While you were out there weighing 
Em
odds
           F             G
 I was imploding the mirage
                C                
 While you were out there looking 
       G
like that
                F         
 I walked right out of the 
       G
camouflage
            Am             Em
 I wasn't locked in no collage
           F     G     Am    G    C
 I was imploding the mirage
           F   G       C
 I was imploding the mirage
