[G#m]
Intro Riff
x2
[G#m]When I was a [B]young boy I [F#]tried to [E]listen
[G#m]And I wanna [B]feel like [F#]that
[G#m]Little white [B]shadows that [F#]sparkle and[E] glisten
[G#m]I'm part of a [B]system [F#]plan
x2
[G#m]Do you ever [B]feel like there's [F#]something[E] missing?
[G#m]Things you'll never [B]unders[F#]tand
[G#m]Little white [B]shadows that [F#]blink in the[E] distance
[G#m]Part of a [B]system [F#]plan

Bridge
[C#m]When all our fears are [E]waking up
[C#m]All the space they're [E]taking up
[C#m]I said I cannot hear you, you're [E]breaking up
[C#m]Ohhh[F#]h...
Chorus
[C#m]Maybe you get what you [G#m]want[B]ed
Maybe you stumbled [G#m]upon [F#]it
[C#m]Everything you ever [G#m]want[B]ed
In a [G#m]permanent [B]state
[C#m]Maybe you'll know when you [G#m]see [B]it
Maybe if you say it, you [G#m]mean [F#]it
[C#m]When you find that you [G#m]keep [B]it
In a [G#m]permanent [F#]state
A permanent state
x2
Same chord progression
[G#m]When I was a [B]young boy
[F#]I tried to [E]listen
[G#m]Don't you wanna [B]feel like [F#]that
[G#m]We're part of the [B]human race
[and]
[F#]All of the stars and [E]outer space
[G#m]We're part of the [B]system [F#]plan
Bridge
Chorus
G#m E B F# X2
[G#m]I swear I'm only seeing faces[E]
Tired of the human races
[B]Oh, answer now is what I [F#]need...
[G#m]See it in a new sun rising[E]
See it breaking on your horizon
[B]Oh, come on love, stay with [F#]me...[G#m]
