... repeat the sequence "Verse - Chorus - Om - Post-Chorus" two more times ... [MoreLyrics] ... for Verse2+3 use+repeat the first two Verse tab lines ... Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes They call me on and on across the universe Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letterbox They tumble blindly as they make their way across the universe Sounds of laughter, shades of life are ringing through my opened ears Inciting and inviting me Limitless, undying love which shines around me like a million suns And calls me on and on across the universe [Outro] ... as Chorus above, repeat and fade ... ************************************ | a Arpeggio (harp-like: pick all strings upward in fast sequence) | p Pull-off | / Slide up | \ Slide down ************************************
