VERSE 1

Fmaj7  Cmaj7
            It started out with butterflies

     Fmaj7            Cmaj7
On a velvet afternoon

With flashing eyes and promises

Fmaj7
     Caught and held too soon

Cmaj7
    In a place called Ixea

          Fmaj7
With it's pumpkin oval moon

Cmaj7
    It started out so nice

VERSE 2

Fmaj7 Cmaj7
         Genji taught Orion

          Fmaj7   
Sea-purple harmony

Cmaj7                          Fmaj7 
   While Kogi hit secrets into seashells

Cmaj7
  And even the ocean laughed

               Fmaj7
Beneath that celestial canopy

                Cmaj7
Cuz it started out so nice

Fmaj7 G7 CHORUS

Fmaj7
With the dust of stars they intermingled

Durock of Avon would only jingle

Cmaj7
  Marble money tunes

  Fmaj7                    Cmaj7
As pale earthly circles swooned

VERSE 3

Fmaj7  Cmaj7                      Fmaj7               
         Volume left Bohemia, a triangle for his thumb

Cmaj7                                       Fmaj7
   Questions fell but no one stopped to listen

Cmaj7
  That eternity was just a dawn away

                  Fmaj7
And the rest was sure to come

         Cmaj7
Leaves, caught in winter's ice

Fmaj7 G7 CHORUS

 Fmaj7
Abandoned circus grounds of flower captains

Prisms in a palm one way it happens

Cmaj7
 The air was silver calm

    Fmaj7                           Cmaj7
The softly met were slowly moving on

Fmaj7 BREAK

Bb                        D
 Then all things in common  

G7                   F    G7       
 Suddenly grew strange

CHORUS

Fmaj7
Now the Wurs were chasing other rainbows

Trying to find where the wind blows

Cmaj7                    Fmaj7      Cmaj7
 To empty corners past dusty memories

VERSE 4

Fmaj7 Cmaj7                                Fmaj7
         Now in the third millennium the crowded madness came

Cmaj7
 Crooked shadows roamed through the nights

           Fmaj7
The wizards overplayed their names

Cmaj7
 And after that the Wurs never bothered to have

             Fmaj7
Summer reasons... again,

                 Cmaj7
But it started out so nice

Fmaj7           Cmaj7
  It started out so nice

Fmaj7                    Cmaj7
  We started out so nice.
