Emaj7 F# B
 
E F#
 
Emaj7
 
F#
 
 
[Verse 1]
Emaj7Just got back today and I'm searching round the place
F#Looking for you-know-who but there's no sign yet
Emaj7Singing, auto-pilot day
Emaj7Shining, ultra-violet rays
F#On this dusty skeleton I feel akin on a cosmic level
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Emaj7I can see right through ya, yeah, I can read your bones
F#Just like a telephone book
F#Maybe I should give it up, begin again
Emaj7I Am exercising how good it feels to be alive
F#And no surprises up my sleeve, everything is temporary
 
 
[Chorus]
Emaj7Ooh, praying mantis on my door
F#Looking for meaning or just any sign at all
Emaj7Ooh, organising all my thoughts, making them
F#Rhyme, choosing wisely where I spend my time
 
Emaj7
 
F#
 
 
[Verse 2]
Emaj7Gimme midnight love again, feeling somewhat alien
F#I'm floating aimless but got my feet concreted
Emaj7Beneath this creature of habit
Emaj7 F#Teach me the magic of an extra ordinary day
F#Anodyne the time away
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Emaj7And there's no such thing as a perfect melody
F#But I keep searching every morning in the trees
 
 
[Chorus]
Emaj7Ooh, praying mantis on my door
F#Looking for meaning or just any sign at all
Emaj7Ooh, organising all my thoughts, making then
F#Rhyme, choosing wisely where I spend my time
 
 
[Bridge]
Emaj7I got my head sorted, sort of,
F#I keep going, just because, yeah, just because
Emaj7I got my head sorted, sort of,
F#I keep going, just because, yeah, just because
