     A        D         C#m
Metanoia, reshaping the world

Cm
It can teach you

D#               D
And reprogram you

C#m                  D
It can show you the flood

        E         A
That's trapped inside

D          C#m
This one's alive

Cm
The tail is breathing

D#                 D
And she's listening

C#m
Kill the serpent

D       E            A
Divide, disperse and grow

D       C#m
Into an oak

Cm              D#               D
A silver lining on a black scale

C#m              D            E         A
Wicked hunter on three hooves he still rode

    D            C#m
But where is the fourth?

Cm
You can climb there

D#            D
To your lofty perch

C#m                  D    E       A
It can teach you the fairytale of hurt

[Break] A – Bm - G# - F# - C# [Part 2]

C#                       G#
Mystic referee, don't look on me with scorn

C#                  G#
I'm a child, I'm a lover being born

D#
Satchidananda

C# (riff) Disregard the path I'm on (repeat chords of part 2) You can justify the action, should you bless My ambition and my indecisiveness Satchidananda Let me know that you exist

B                       F#
Watch me tremble as I'm answering the phone

B                  F#             F
I am separate from everything you know

F# G# (repeat chords earlier in part 2) Mystic referee I promise to return Once I've given up and lessons have been learned Satchidananda You can watch my fire burn Part 3: No chords We were talkin' junk right, Just before the show This wild-eyed kid came up to the fence He took one look at us, and he said:

 A
"Help me,

C
Drummer,

A
Ticket,

C
Yeah!"

A
We didn't play his favorite song,

A                                      G
Now he'll never come to another show

(repeat this sentence until fade in of part 4) [Part 4] Section four: repeat these chords 7 times: A C G F#m F Hospitals and woods confirm Red in the eyes of everyone Parasites and lovers scrape the meat from bones Turned into jade and tiger's eye Save me some dark hair over a face like hers She'll help the rain come to a pour Bathroom floor of stone and tiles broke in two Warm where they touch her porcelain Timid skin I'm careful to untie this road Wrapped in a knot indifferent Lion's foot unearthing all the things i've seen But never truly understood Rotten wood from oceans that were never green Crumbles beneath the canopy Secretly

                 F#                   G#
Let's pretend we never touched the sugar

C# F# F# Fm
(These last F# and Fm chords are played high on the fretboard.)
