Chords

[Verse 1]
Em     Am             G
Folded in your fleshy purse

     F             Em
I am floating once again

          Am               A7
While the muted sounds are pumping rhythm

Em      Am                G
All the walls close in on me

           F                Em
Pressure's building wave on wave

          Am               A7            G
Until the water breaks and outside I go, oh
Em(x8)
Am  Em
One dot, that's on or off

Em                               Am  Em
Defines what is and what is not, one dot

Em
Two dot, a pair of eyes, a voice

                            Am  Em
A touch, complete surprise, two dot
[Chorus]
Em
Growing up, growing up

Em
Looking for a place to live

Em
Growing up, growing up

Em
Looking for a place to live

Em
Growing up, growing up

Em
Looking for a place to live

Em          C
Growing up, growing up

Am Em                    Am Em
My ghost likes to travel so far in the unknown

Am Em                    Am Em
My ghost likes to travel so deep into your space
Em(x2) [Verse 2]
Am    Em
Three dot, a trinity

Em                         Am    Em
A way to map the universe, three dot

Am   Em
Four dot, is what will make a square

                                   Am   Em
A bed to build on, it's all there, four dot
[Hook]

[Verse 3]
Em      Am                  G
All the slow clouds pass us by

         F                 Em
Make the empire state look high

       Am              A7
As you take me in your sea-stained sweetness

Em            Am             G
It spills, it tingles and it stings

        F                Em
All the pleasure that it brings

          Am               A7
Until the door has let the outside inside here

Am          Em
Well on the floor there's a long wooden table

Am     Em
On the table there's an open book

Am     Em
On the page there's a detailed drawing

Am         Em
And on the drawing is the name I took
[Hook]
Am Em                    Am Em
My ghost likes to travel so far in the unknown

Am Em                    Am Em
My ghost likes to travel so deep into your space
[Chorus]

Em
Looking for a place to live

Em
Looking for a place to live

Em          C
Growing up, growing up

Looking for a place to live

Em(x12) [Verse 4]
Em            Am                  G
The breathing stops, I don't know when

        F          Em
In transition once again

       Am               A7
Such a struggle getting through these changes

Em     Am              G
And it all seems so absurd

      F             Em
To be flying like a bird

       Am               A7            G
When I do not feel I've really landed here
