Chords

[Intro] E [Verse 1]
E
The stars were just the holes punched in the shoebox

                                                      B
That gives the creature all the air he needs to breathe
As if every constellation was just a form of inhalation
                   Am               E
From a captor too enormous to conceive
[Verse 2]
E
The moon beamed like a coach from junior high school

                                                      B
When players hacked their way through each opposing team
And the brighter it was shining, felt like the wider he was smiling
                     Am                   E
On a season that he loved too much to leave
[Chorus]
E                                                          B
When you stare off in the night sometimes you see a little too much

                                                                     E
Sometimes there's a world behind the mirror, sometimes a razor and a toothbrush

                                                       A
And in those fleeting moments when the stars all seem aligned

                     B              E
It all runs together, as if by design
[Verse 3] The boat out in the middle of the ocean
                                            B
Is like the butterfly just breathing on the sea
Giving all of its attention to this new and strange reflection
                  Am                E
Not recognized as what it used to be
[Chorus]
E                                                          B
When you stare off in the night sometimes you see a little too much

                                                                     E
Sometimes there's a world behind the mirror, sometimes a razor and a toothbrush

                                                        A
When in those fleeting moments when the stars all seem aligned

                     F#      B E
It all runs together, as if by design
[Bridge]
      A#m
Every day getting a little

     A
More acquainted with the riddles

B         F#m                           B
Until I'm looking for them everywhere I go
[Solo] E C#m C# C#m F#7 B F#m E D#m C# B E Bm D A F#m A F#m B E [Chorus]

When you stare off in the night sometimes you see a little too much

And in those fleeting moments when the stars all seem aligned

                   F#  B       E
It all runs together, as if by design

E                
As if by design

E
As if by design
