King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard – Mirage City (Guitar)

A                                    D               A
There's a place I wanna go 'cause my ma and pa, they fight at home

A                                               B                E
And though my feet may never grace the sand, it helps to give me hope

A                                              D              A
Where the waters flow superluminally and where tachyons light heavenly

A                                          E         A
Where Chang'e plays her superstrings, they call it M.C.

F#m                        B
What would it mean to be a beam travelling like lightning?

F#m                             B
Across cosmic ravine and to the city I have seen

F#m                                  B
In the nazar of my eye, the skyline, at once dead and alive

D                                    F            G           A
To see that picture in my mind, pull focus on the lens of time

A                          D               A
Waves crashing down like a lion pride roar

A                                                 B          E
Beyond the break a heavenly haven shimmers in the open water

A                                               D           A
The fortune teller never predicted this in her crystal ball

A                                      E                  A
Is that a city drifting from afar or a reflection mirage?

F#m                         B
In the mirror ripples I get lost

F#m                                  B
Wondering 'bout my ma and pa and the little town where I'm from

F#m                          B
If only I could swim or sail across

D                           F                    G           A
to the Mirage City where my prayers are answered by the Lord

A                          D         A
I can't wait to leave this nightmare behind

A                               B                  E
I see it so clearly now; you're springtime and I'm ice

A                        D              A
So I'll leave you with a message that I wrote, It says:

A                               E             A
Your shadow ain't burnt into my soul anymore"

F#m                  B
So I follow the crow (blood on the road)

F#m                    B
And the prey of eagles (chained to my throat)

F#m               B
I am suffering no more

D                      F           G            A
But it's just a mirage in the wind disappearing

G                 A           G               A
So I build my own Chimera and face up to it's hate

G                   A                       G                     A
I'm sick of being a scared little cunt that sleeps through all my dreams

G                               A                 G                             A
I'm done with this city and the hurt it's caused, Reflection on the back of my shirt

G                              A                       G                      A
I'm done treading water in the sea of doubt, I ain't a backpacker caught in a rip, yeah

G     D    A          G      D    A
I die if I stay here, reborn if I leave

G             D     A              G      D    A
It's time for me to say goodbye to Mirage City
